Never in history has this line been able to stop a conflict and calm things down, rather it has made things far worse. This might seem like a really harmless statement to make in the heat of the moment, but it is actually one of the most manipulative sentences there is.
When your partner knows all your weak points and emotional triggers, they use this manipulative statement to trigger you even more, so that they get to have the upper hand during the argument. And naturally, when you hear this line, you tend to get even more upset, and you feel more outraged and humiliated.
