I have to say - everything depends always. I remember telling an ex she was "being a fucking cunt" in an argument once. She held that against me for some time. Why? Because she was fishing for a reason to resent me. Why did I call her that? Because I simply requested that she not post a picture of me on social media (while we were still together). She said she wouldn't, but did anyway. Then I explained to her that was not helping her cause to regain my trust in our relationship. Why did she need to regain trust. Because a few months prior (after reasonable suspicion and interrogation) she had disclosed that she was cheating and lying about it for many months. Yes, I realize now I should have called her a fucking cunt when I found that out and dumped her ass on the spot. Anyhow, I tried explaining how her lying to me about the photo upset me, and this was circular. After about 5 or more times of her dismissing my concern and upset, by claiming (it's no big deal it's just a photo). I basically told her... it's not about the photo, it's about the lying "your being a fucking cunt". Can't Understand Normal Thinking. Don't subscribe to the double standard. I'm a really nice guy until you push me hard enough and get what you fucking deserve. It's like telling a man who pushes his girlfriend down after she's been punching him repeatedly that he should never hit a woman. Fuck that, you don't get to abuse me with out consequences. Overt name calling isn't nearly as abusive as covert manipulation and emotional abuse.
Secondly. If your mom has been even a halfway decent mother, don't call her names. She is likely the only woman who will ever genuinely love you as a man.
You called your mother that and you are still alive? Your dad should have kicked the living shit out of you. But he let you live and you are now out there verbally abusing women and wondering what the big deal is. You are as stupid as you are offensive.
She was being one and I called. Y mom a cunt only once and my dad just yelled at me
She doesn't love you unconditionally like your mother and sister. I don't think anyone deserves to be called names...but sometimes we say things we don't mean. I think, she is being childish by breaking up with you IF you apologized for calling her it. If you never apologized, then she has every right to break up with you.
I think, you need to work on your anger issues. As, it isn't right to call people names. It is emotional abuse. And, sometimes emotional abuse is worse than physical abuse, at least to me. If you want her back, you need to apologize, tell her you love her (if you do) and tell her you are going to work on your anger issues. She will come back.
There's no need to insult your girlfriend so aggressively. You can discuss things without getting angry, shouting and especially without insulting each other. That's something you need to work on.
I think she kind of went a bit overboard and left you out of anger, though she could be the type of person who doesn't take shit and won't put up with being disrespected which is good on her!
I would probably consider leaving my boyfriend if he suddenly started calling me a cunt in arguments. That'd show he'd lost all respect for me and I wouldn't want to stay with someone who had no respect for me.
You clearly have no respect, maturity or patience for a relationship.
Well, it's an unacceptable term to use against anyone, let alone someone you're supposed to care about. Sorry, but it's pretty abusive language and I wouldn't tolerate it if you were a stranger cussing out a waitress, so I can't say as I blame your girlfriend for being pissed off.
Personally, I can't say what I would do if a guy I was dating called me that, but I would definitely have some serious reservations about the future of the relationship. I don't care how big of a bitch I'm being, saying something like that is disrespectful in the extreme and then not even feeling you ought to apologize, definitely a red flag.
i called my girlfriend a cunt and she broke up with me is she overacting?
Not in my opinion as you insulted her seemingly without remorse or apology. I don't think breaking up with a disrespectful partner is overreacting. I do find it odd that she did as in my opinion most gals have quite low self-esteem and are willing to put up with plenty of male abuse.
"i don't see why she broke up with me"
I find it odd that guys seem to think it's not overreacting to break up when they're not getting sex in a relationship or for whatever reason yet a gal is seemingly overreacting for not tolerating being insulted.
The real cunt seems to be you. Ever think of that?) I'll bet not. Maybe the break-up will be a way of teaching your thick skull.
Whoops, I'm sorry but please disregard my last posting as I intended to reply to the person asking the question.
Is that all it takes now days to end a relationship? Some name calling during a heated argument? I wouldn't break up with a girl just because she said something that hurt my feelings because I know that arguments make people say crazy shit (and I know that I, along with 90% of the population, would probably do the same thing). Do you think that she was sitting across from him calmly and quietly conveying her arguments in a gentle and logical manner? No, I bet you that she was saying some crazy shit herself. I doubt that he said to himself "damn, she's making some good points, I can't keep up with her intellectually. I better call her a cunt to save face". by the way, saying some mean words during an argument isn't "abuse". Also don't try to generalize the female population in an effort to make them seem inferior: " in my opinion most gals have quite low self-esteem and are willing to put up with plenty of male abuse." You're being sexist towards women.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!She probably took as if you were being verbally abusive. I think she had every right to get upset and breakup with you. I would not put up with someone calling me a cunt. you could have chosen different words to call her.
Or none at all.
@Hannah591 Agreed. After reading the actions she took to drive him to the name calling, he should have just walked away from this cunt before he said another word. Actions speak louder than words on both ends.
You don't call women that word.. You just don't. You deserved to be broken up with. Even if you feel that she was acting like one, it's just something you don't do. Name calling is incredibly immature, don't be in a relationship until you know you'll be able to handle your problems like a grown person, no girl deserves to be called such a thing.
Some people take things like that to heart, you hurt her feelings it is very disrespectful if you want her back then you need to admit you were wrong and don't do it again. You really shouldn't call people names like that it just makes you look very immature and low. Sorry for being harsh. I wouldn't break up over if but I would for sure let you know that won't ever happen again. Good luck
You have so many more words from the English language to choose from to describe how she was acting and yet you chose one of the most derogatory words to call her. I'd say she reacted just fine.
I don't think so. That's just verbal abuse. Extreme verbal abuse at that.
Well, you seem like a disrespectful asshole (who the hell calls their own MOTHER a "stupid fucking cunt"?) so I don't blame her for breaking up with you. Next time maybe you shouldn't resort to immature name-calling when you're arguing with your S/O.
do you usually call her names like that?
That's probably the worst thing you can call somebody, especially your girlfriend. I don't blame her.
i am mad i apologized i don't see what i did wrong i think women overact to that word
It's a really offensive word and you can't take it back.
You also said it to your mom and your sister which is terrible and disrespectful.
In my opinion. No she is not.
I HATE that word. It is likely the most offensive word I know. Quite honestly any man who would call his gf that. Does not deserve to be forgiven. Under any circumstances.
But this is just my opinion.
Good for you finally a gentleman
I would break up with you too, that is so disrespectful to say to any woman no matter who they are. It is a disgusting thing to say
Dude and you can still type? Can you still talk? There are certain things you think and certain things you say. I don't know who your mom is but if one of my sons every called me a cunt. They would have broken jaw.
Would that be before or after you get butt-raped in prison while being called the same by your cell-mate?
This is not okay. How can you claim that it is unacceptable to use one word which can easily be let go with the wind, and simultaneously suggest that is acceptable to physical abuse another human being (let alone your child) to the point of hospitalization? Please do not encourage violence.
Anyone that can even think about calling his mother one, much less actually do it is just an ignorant ass. So since you do not understand how to use words I can see why she broke up with you. You need to learn class and manners and how to be a gentleman. I went through 25 years of marriage and a horrible divorce and I never yelled at my wife or ever called her a nasty name, not even bitch. She was my wife and the mother of my children. Much less ever thinking about calling the woman that brought me into the world one. That is just disgusting dude.
And I completely understand that sometimes someone is just a cunt. but you never ever call them that..
You never use that word to a woman. She is 100% right breaking up with a man who verbally abuses her.
Absolutely not. That is an extremely offensive term. Never call a girl that, not even jokingly.
No, she's not! There is absolutely no reason to call a woman that. Ever. The simple fact that you even thought that about her is bad enough, but to actually vocalize it? And it's bad enough also that you called your girlfriend that, but your MOTHER as well?
You are beyond wrong here.
Wow no I'd straight up break up with you.
Most women (and most people in general) find that word to be INCREDIBLY offensive and degrading. So I'm not surprised in the least that she dumped you for it.
Lol!!!
Yes she overreacted
Why is that considered such an insult? Dick, prick, pussy, are all very similar insults yet carry little weight.
I don't think she's overreacting, you don't call someone a cunt especially a girlfriend.
