Name Calling.

Do you call each other names when you argue? Do really mean what you say? I can't imagine! If my guy called me a name it would be the last words I would ever hear from him. Why? I would turn around and leave. Never would I ever hear him nor acknowledge him. How about you?

Hi Sara !
I do not believe in calling names. If I call name of my near and dear ones, it means am not only hurting them but to myself also.
There could be other ways to vent out the anger but calling names is not appropriate.

I think when you are angry, your true feelings come out. Like the they said . you " Stop being polite and start getting real." So if insults are come up, it tells me the respect is gone and that the love is on it's way.

no, we never do that. my husband says, when you're angry, don't talk too much. hit me if you want but don't say bad words. you can break anything around the house to let out of your anger. we can replace them anyway. but the words you say will not be taken back even if you say your sorry and you did not mean it. i am very thankful because when i'm angry, my husband just let me do the talking and when i cooled off, that's when he talk to me sincerely.

Hi behen
At times yes, your bhai was guilty of this. But it is not the argument but the frustration or the anger that plays bad. Those who know me, know for sure that I am a clean hearted person who doesnt feel comfortable in keeping anything to himself. And so goes with anger too. If I am upset, I do vent out and that is all... once done with it, I forget as if nothing has happened. I know, it is quite an unhealthy thing to do... and am happy that over the years, I have learned to control this aspect for me. Today, I rarely get angry and calling names is definitely not anywhere near - I have learned to keep the anger to myself - I owe this to one bollywood movie where the dad said to the son - It is good that the incident has angered you but you must learn to tame the anger, control it, and save it for later use when you are stronger and in the right mindset to take a better decision. This dialog did move me and it took me years to put this in real practice.

Hi Bhai!
I don't understand The words from the movie. Does it mean , don't get mad, get even? As a child I wasn't allowed to get angry so As a teen I had enough inner rage to be a serial killer! But instead Actually acting it out , I would think about it And by this practice whenever I do get angry , I do my best thinking. So instead of shouting or name calling I will go after the proper revenge. So it is hard for me to forgive Anythif said in anger. I assume Everyone Means Every word like I do. So once said, it can never be taken back . I leave.

Hi there sarahruthbeth,
I hope that you are doing awesome today, well for me i guess there were times that I couldn't control myself and shout at my girl ( I never win an argument with her before. But never names i curse at the wind but i think never at her. I think a gentleman and a person who loves and respects you should never be treated by being called in names

I had a great day! Thanks. I agree, if there is true respect, then there is no name calling.

No. I mean when a husband gets angry and he calles his loving wife a b1tch. Or a wife calls her husband a a$$hole.

I don't think name-calling does any good as it distracts from anything positive that could come out of the argument.

I wouldn't be good with the name calling either. I don't call names either..well..I have called him an ahole before but he was trying to be one when I said it so it wasn't actually an insult
Now if it comes to anything more than that...never ever.

The moment I see my guy as an a$$hole, it would be so over. I wouldn't say it but if I ever feel it, it is the end.

I try not to, but if I get really riled up..Then I probably will.. When I'm angry, I just kind of 'let it all out'... Ha ha. I wouldn't take it personally if my beau said something like that to me - just because I know how it's like to have this uncontrollable anger. As long as he admitted it was wrong and apologized (and promised to try not to do it again) I guess I'd be OK with it.

I'm made differently. When I'm angry I think clearer. I pick each word More carefully so I could never just forgive.

I don't call names, I also don't curse. it depends on the person if I find it worth the fight/argue also. My husband is also not calling names.

in normal condition we does not call each other by the names but sometimes yes if there is any family member is around us then we can call each other b the names.
but in the case when we argue ,never ,because it can make condition more difficult.if we are in argue and suddenly either i or she will take names of our partner then it seems very awkward and we can feel very uncomfortable and it can make distance between us.
so i remember this thing to never do such thing in unfavorable condition.

If someone is worthy of your love they will not stoop so low as to call you by some lowly dorrogatory name. No matter what you are disagreeing about there is no need fpr name calling. UNLESS: If I were to catch him in bed with some other girl I would call them BOTH quite a few choice names!!!! But that would be the only exception to the rule that I can think of!!
