I called my boyfriend a coward after he decided to "go to sleep" rather than solve things out?

[Anonymous]

The told me "the fuck i mean?" when i called him a coward. And asked me if it's just because he don't want to speak to me. When in reality i called him that because he said he was going to sleep abd then one hour caught him online whatsapp and when he sees me online, he quickly exit i explained and he just told me to never call him a coward tho. he was ticked off and i dont get it. First time calling him one. But he's still a coward because he lied he was going to sleep and he's still online

1) You shouldn't have called him a coward simple no matter what
2) Some words are more powerful then others. E. g cunt is more rude then saying pussy
3) It depends how u said it if you said stop being a coward it's different then saying he's a coward. Thats because if u call him a coward your striking there personality.
4) it hurts when your partner insults u more so compared to other people.
5) how would u feel if he called a bitch for forcing him to speak to you.
6) Also he's not a coward. men and women deal with issues differently. A man becomes distant and applies his logic because he probably knows that he'll say something stupid if he spoke to you then. Whereas women are emotional so they want to sort out the issues quickly but sometimes that's wrong because emotions go crazy and people say the wrong things. Neither of you are wrong but clearly he's conflict avoidant stop attacking him and let him relax. by the way he probably told u he wants to sleep so he doesn't look like he's being avoidant but it's a small white lie nothing to get emotional about.

How you know he saw you online and exited from whatsapp? It might be the case that he was going to sleep and someone texted him... and he went to see what it was and you went online same time... after he read he might have exited from it you thought that he exited because you are online... just telling this might be a case

I hate not resolving issues with people, i like to talk things through.

Maybe he doesn't look on himself as a coward, but finds it difficult to talk to you when you call him names. It makes you become unapproachable

Tell me about it

Now I know how to ding you're boyfriend into doing something he doesn't want to. Anyway, to him you are provoking him to fist fight you when saying he is a coward, when he knows there is punishment for doing so because he would obliterate you of more then just emotion, if such escalation were to commence. However, you are thinking he is a coward because he is ignoring you're plans for the future, and acting as the typical boyfriend scared of his children and talking about you and his relationship, of which meager boyfriends have difficulty doing. An argument was prior over something...

That's because a woman calling a man a coward is an emasculating insult. But you sound young so you probably don't get it. You call a man a coward if they refuse to take care of their children or if they won't protect you from other men. It's demeaning when a woman says it especially one who knows you as a person. Regardless, say what you mean; mean what you say. Look up the word and decide if you really meant to use THAT word.

[Asker]

I still don't see how it should be made out to be big. I didn't even mean to demasculate him. I didn't know what was so bad about that word. Is like a friend calling his friend a pussy for not asking a girl out. people get called slut, bitches, and etc.. so what? I just don't get it

[oldsoul82]

Lol, you dont get it (my guess is because your fairly a young person). One, NEVER compare friends to mates. Thats a no-no. That example was horrible. Your guy friends telling you you look like shit and your girlfriend telling you you look like shit are coming from two different viewpoints. Because your his girlfriend, you have to understand that your words and actions are on a higher volume.

That seems a little petty on your end, you didn't have to use such harsh terminology just because he told you a little porky pie.

[Asker]

Is the word coward that harsh...

[ThisDudeHere]

You two have issues if you have to resort to such language.

[fenixx0083]

If you were ready tobreak down to name calling, then there was probably nothing to be gained at that point anyways...

[Asker]

I didn't really mean it to hurt him. Should i have called him a pussy or something? I get how much of a prob is. people get called bitch, slut, and etc all the time.

[fenixx0083]

Did he call you birch, slut, etc?

[Asker]

No, he didn't. But i use coward not as a way to hurt him i sold place coward under slut, bitch, and etc. I really just don't get why he's acting like that

[fenixx0083]

It feels like there just had to be more to this...

[Asker]

I believe so too but from his side that I don't know of. I really didn't mean it in a harsh way, i just found it quite funny and cute that he exit after he said he was going to sleep to see him online one hour after, and so he exit asap when i was online. so i called him a coward... maybe wrong choice of word, but he got ticked off is all...

[fenixx0083]

Yaaaa... guys don't like that word (there's pretty much 0 difference between "coward" and "pussy" (imo)... And as far as seeing him online later: I would guess he just wasn't prepared to deal with whatever was up right that particular second... I can only guess the exact reason, but in any event:what good has ever come from *making* dance to someone else's tune... or *trying* to...

[jmb119988]

Us guys don't like being called names like anyone else but danm to me that dude a baby he needs to suck it up and grow up

[BertMacklinFBI]

okay whats the question?

[Asker]

I don't understand what's so bad at the word coward?

[BertMacklinFBI]

it could possibly be a trigger word for your boyfriend.

[NedfromtheNed]

Maybe he just needed time to cool off

[Anonymous]

What's the question.
