I was being annoying. I wanted to take this certification class for work that would cost 4k. He thought it was too much and a waste of money and to explore cheaper options. I felt hurt that he would just put down what I have wanted for a while and call it a
"waste."

I raised my voice and said it is not a waste to me as it would give me a certification and it hurts me that he can't be supportive.

So you yelled at him because he didn’t want to spend $4K on your training. You need better argument skills. Do you yell every time you don’t get your way?

Don’t you have $4K why do you need his money.

Oh it's the poster who always blames the victim. Did you finally get banned from Reddit,?

The H is the victim here. She was screaming at him and throwing things.

He said a word, not a nice word but… Get some perspective.

She threw a temper tantrum because he wouldn’t give her $4000

Fifty bucks says you’re a guy who is either divorced or never married.

No I’m a married woman of 25+ years who doesn’t yell at my H when we disagree over how to spend money.

OP needs to get a grip.

She was screaming at her H, step 1, walk away if you are frustrated, wait 20 minutes for your body to regulate, request a time to discuss.

Or use your own money and never have the conversation.

The fact that you sound like a divorced dude should tell you something. Why do you believe it’s “his” money? That’s usually a misogynist male attitude.

We were having an argument and he called me the b word. I basically lost it and started yelling at him to stop calling me that. He told me to shut up which infuriated me even more. He closed the door in my face and I got angry and threw his shoes at the door. He called me crazy and left the house.

I am so embarrassed at behaving that way. But he often calls me a b-word when things get heated. And I’ve told him multiple times to please not call me that. I recently had a miscarriage and he has been so supportive through everything that I was so shocked and hurt when he resorted to demean me by using that one ugly simple word.

I feel so embarrassed to have acted so crazy. Ugh.

So horrible!

When you've asked him to stop calling you that word, what does he say?

Obviously, you two need ground rules for arguments.

What's happening OP, is that your DH is saying something disrespectful, you're responding by flying off the handle, he then has the high ground to divert attention to your lack of self-control, and *not* where it should be-- the fact that he started it by calling you a demeaning word. I bet this is a pattern.

Sit him down calmly, tell him that if he calls you names or disrespectful during an argument, you're going to remain calm and leave the room. If he doesn't get the message, you might leave the marriage. Mean it.

I agree with this except he doesn't have the high ground. . That's the excuse he will use to justify his bad behavior. He was goading op.
They have a really bad dynamic here.. they need ground rules and possibly marital counseling. .
