[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a new one for you. I dropped the F bomb at my husband a few weeks ago in a moment of frustration. He went OFF on me (rightfully so) about using that sort of language at him or around our 11 year old. Got it, I took my lumps, agreed with him, vowed to do better, etc. I genuinely regretted it and honestly don't make a habit out of it, and I genuinely agreed with him that it was wrong.

Last night, we're watching Nickelodeon's Top Elf, cute little crafting competition show for kids, with our daughter. He starts calling decisions "bull $h!t" and "G-d d@!#" this and that, in a joking manner, but still swearing up a storm. I, also joking and lighthearted, said "wow, can we stop swearing our way through a kids' show?"

He got so mad he stormed out and left the house! We had separate plans today and I literally hadn't seen him until not long ago, when he called my a hypocrite that I would ever correct him when I use actual swear words. I was like, huh? I said, BS and GD are actual swear words, and if we're going to hold each other accountable, which I agree with, it has to be a two-way street. He said it's common sense that BS and GD are not swear words.

This is my life....[/quote]

Blowing up at little things and storming out like that can mean there is somebody on the side.  They get triggered easily and have reactions that don't match the 'offense' when they are keeping secrets like that.  It was the biggest tip off for me.[/quote]
