[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is something that’s a personal boundary thing.  If it’s a dealbreaker for you, then you need to tell your SO that this is a big deal and you are willing to end the relationship over it.
  I don’t think this is necessarily something that everyone would break up over though.  Some people are more comfortable with swearing than others.  Both swearing themselves and hearing others swear.

The OP says being called names, not general swearing.  I think there's a huge difference between yelling "I'm so $*#( mad right now, I hate that kind of crap" and "you're a f##ing a$$hole".  Do you really think it's acceptable to be called names?  Even if it's just jerk, or dumba## or similar.  It's not.  It's abuse.  It's never ok.[/quote]

It seems weird to say it when I’m not angry and my frontal lobe is fully functioning, but yes, I think it’s normal sometimes to call someone an a$$hole in the context of a fight.

If it’s a boundary for you, then it’s a boundary for you.  But I don’t think that it’s abusive in and of itself.  [/quote]

Ha, agree. I just posted. When I’m super mad, it’s all scrambled. [/quote]

I just read your post.  I’m glad someone else feels the same way!

You both need therapy to learn how to control your anger. Seriously. It is possible to be mad and not resort to that kind of behavior. It's very immature to do so, actually. [/quote]
