"Couplish is the secret language of long-term love. It's how couples keep the peace without saying what they really think. It's used daily to dodge conflict, soften criticism, share duties and keep affection flowing. Our translator helps decode it - and couples to laugh at themselves."
"Over centuries, women have been socialised to be more passive - encouraged to let only gentle, supportive things leave their mouths. In an age when opinions matter but speaking up can still feel uncomfortable, many women have perfected subtle forms of Couplish - a kind of artful, sometimes passive-aggressive shorthand."
A couples app surveyed more than 1,000 members and identified a set of coded relationship phrases called 'Couplish'. The three most common couplisms are 'I'm fine', 'We'll see' and 'Nothing's wrong'. Women were more likely than men to use these phrases, which can dodge confrontation, soften criticism and share duties. The app offers a translator to decode typical meanings and encourage laughter about misunderstandings. The survey found nine out of ten people admit to saying one thing to a partner while meaning another, demonstrating widespread indirect communication.
