[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 25 years, I have never heard my DH swear. He just doesn't. He has never called me a "name" or anyone else. His parents never swore, and his siblings don't either.

I myself don't swear, and neither do my parents who have been married 50 years. My siblings don't either.

Swearing and name-calling are learned behaviors. If you grew up with it, and do it yourself, I can see how you might marry someone who does this because it seems "normal."

Otherwise, how could you allow yourself to be in a relationship like this?

You had something of a role in allowing yourself to be called these names because the very first time it happened, you did not say to your spouse "NEVER AGAIN" and mean it. The second time it happened, you did not leave the relationship.

I would expect my young adult children to not stand for this in their relationships. It is not part of our family culture and they would be shocked to be called a name by someone they love.

To those who are dating and not yet married, DO NOT DATE PEOPLE WHO SWEAR AT OTHER PEOPLE. THEY WILL SWEAR AT YOU.

To those who are married, DO NOT ALLOW THIS. You have consented to it, in some way or another, by staying. LEAVE IF PEOPLE TREAT YOU LIKE THIS. Period.[/quote]

Stop acting so fucking childish.[/quote]
