结婚后才知道，这三种人，根本没有结婚能力
以前觉得结了婚，就是两个人，带个孩子，过一辈子。 后来发现两个普通人在一起，关系永远在变，每个小细节，都能影响婚姻质量。 变胖几斤，喝酒晚归。 升职加薪，或是辞职带娃，婚姻的天平，都是在摇摆中保持着平衡。 买个手机你要挑款式，钱还要挑真假，和谁结婚，怎么能一样？ 这三种人，根本没有结婚能力。 1 沟通无能的人 林语堂说过：“所谓美满的婚姻，不过是夫妻彼此迁就和习惯的结果，就像一双鞋，穿久了便变得合脚。” 但很遗憾，真正的磨合不靠时间，靠的是沟通。 沟通无能的婚姻，撑得越久，反而越煎熬。 网上有个帖子说：“前任就是个喜欢回避问题的人，我生气从不安慰，他反倒生我的气。” 两个人相处整整半年，网友知道自己也不是没错。 可是有时候办砸了事情，说了难听的话，男友完全不告诉她，全都要靠自己消化。 耗得时间长了，她只觉得越来越累，对比刚在一起时，总有说不完的话，她更觉得男友不在乎她，嫌她烦。 到分手时，她竟看不出男友任何想法。 回忆起才想到，男友和他爸妈的相处也是这样，老人问他什么，有多着急，他都是默不作声。 很多人真的很难沟通，你觉得他不关心你，他觉得你嫌他没钱。 你说他懒散，他说你嫌他没本...

HONG KONG (Reuters) - The dollar was firmer early on Friday, helped higher by upbeat economic data though was headed for its second week of declines while commodities currencies slipped as traders rejigged their positions after this week's brisk rally.
Better jobs and housing data and rising U.S. Treasury yields helped the dollar rise towards the end of the U.S. session on Thursday, gains it held in Asian hours.
The dollar index was last at 93.736, up from the three-and-a-half week low of 93.494 it had touched a day earlier.
The late gains day on Thursday were broad-based with the euro, sterling and Aussie dollar all losing ground on the greenback.
However, the dollar index is down 0.18% for the week and set to post a second week of declines.
"People are wondering whether we are at an inflection point, as the dollar has been weakening and that doesn't really fit with the broader narrative that global growth is cooling and the Fed is on the path to tapering, which should be supportive for the dollar," said Paul Mackel, global head of FX research at HSBC.
On Friday, benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields were at 1.6967% slightly off from Thursday's multi-month high of 1.7%.
The commodity currency rally took a breather late on Thursday and into Asian hours on Friday, as traders took profits, analysts said.
The Canadian dollar slipped to C$1.2369 per U.S. dollar, off Thursday's C$1.2287, a level last seen in June.
The Australian dollar also lost some ground, with the currency buying $0.7455, off Thursday's three-month top.
"The ever aggressive intervention by China in coal markets has had a significant impact on pricing in the energy sector ...so not surprised to see a reasonable A$ correction from very overbought levels," said Westpac analysts in a note.
Brent crude, which had risen above $86 dollars a barrel on Thursday, tumbled late in the day, and was last at $84.66.
The British pound stood at $1.3784, also off a month peak hit earlier in the week.
The euro was at $1.1621 little changed, while the yen wobbled within sight of its multi-year lows, with one dollar worth 114.07 yen, compared with 114.69 earlier in the week, a four-year low.
