The Right Speech!!!!

Yesterday when i was reading a blog, one of the passage in the blog reminded me of my friend's problem. She is having problems with her boyfriend. Maybe because they are too close to each other, the boyfriend starts to be very 'honest' to his girlfriend. Note that i am not trying to say being honest to your girlfriend is not good, but you should be able to choose what can be said. A few months ago, her boyfriend's ex had broken up with her boyfriend. Then she turned to my friend's boyfriend to talk. And very 'luckily', my friend saw their msn conversation which caused them to have a small fight. My friend actually asked him if they were not together, would he be together with his ex again?? Then her boyfriend answered 'SURE!!!' This happened a few months ago. Recently, her boyfriend starts to compare she and his ex. For example, 'both of you like to drink this or both of you like to....' So, do any girlfriend can stands her boyfriend keep mentioning his ex in front of her?? What i am trying to say is a correct speech is very important to maintain a relationship. Maybe you are not meant to hurt the person beside you, but one man's meat can be another person's poison! A word can make a big difference in a relationship.

The passage from the blog is as follow:

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.
A woman and her millionaire husband visited their construction site.A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily!>Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school."
On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker."
She answered, "You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship.
