How would you react if you were in an argument and your spouse called you a bitch out of anger?

Question

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

Name calling is NEVER good unless it's done for fun. Calling your wife a female dog is out of bounds. The intimation is that you sleep around. Bitches go into heat and any dog that comes around can fuck them.

And dogs aren't bright compared to people, are they? I'd weigh the length of your relationship with this person and the reason for the argument. Has he done anything like this before? Does he fly off the handle more often than not?

You need to have a discussion with him. And using this kind of language with your wife is the TIP of the iceberg. It's emotional abuse. So what he apologizes. It's been done. When's the other shoe going to drop? I'd be worried.

That's not nice.
People do say things in anger.
Did she call him something similar?
How often does he use words like this?
It would be upsetting. But it wouldn't be at all one of the worst things he could say. I'd let it go, personally.

This is really something girls should comment on. From a guys view, everyone gets angry sometimes, and says things they probably wouldn't say if they thought about it. If "bitch" is a one-time or occasional thing, I'd ignore it.

The other day, I was at a party and a guy in his 30s called his mother a bitch. She quickly replied with the middle finger and a verbal FU, then they continued the conversation.

Bitch is common word now that is used for anything it has lost its real value and it has become just another word or like some slang it's more commonly used now in any regular sentence.

Well if he called you cunt whore or something amongst those things you would had required to had a talk on how he should behave.

But did you call him something as well or assulted him like tried to slap?

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

You can't be calling your wife a bitch. Even when your mad.  Unless you're 'pack-your-shit-and-leave' mad. Then it's fine.

Jouth · Answer

That's pretty not okay. Like you can't go back from that. Though I would also ask what was said right before that would cause him to respond with "Bitch".

I remember one of my friends in high school telling me her boyfriend called her a bitch, which I thought was awful. Though I asked her why. And she said that she told him that he deserved to have his grandfather die (who died a few months prior).

If my girlfriend said that to me I wouldn't even call her a bitch, I'd just call her an ex, right then and there.

goldenlily947 · Answer

If he called me a bitch then he is calling me an object if he is calling me a animal or object sorry hun I don't think I should be you so called toy anymore... you need to work on you communication because that is not mature at all (gets in car fucks off for a vacation alone)

dustybiker · Answer

It would never happen.
People who get angry are people who don’t know how to talk to one another. They don’t listen, they don’t share what they need from another person. Communication is important.

humpbackjack · Answer

Hell I call her my bitch all the time and she calls me her daddy or big guy I’d have to call something worse than bitch to get a rise out of her honestly though we rarely fight like that cause I don’t like to yell so if it’s gonna get heated I just leave for a minute and when I come back at worse we don’t talk for a minute. I grew up in a house with a lot of yelling and I refuse to let my kids grow up in that kind of environment

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

If i was married, my wife would never call me such thing no matter how much angry she gets because she knows that i'm a tempered man and such humiliation coming from her especially cause she's a woman would make me like a monster, she might end up seriously hurt, i wasn't raised to never lay a hand on a woman, if a woman messes with me than she's going to get it worst than a guy!

The only way for my future wife to stop my anger is treating me in a nice lovely way!

Hanrej · Answer

I would end it. Reasoning that clearly what I want is not the same as my partner. The use of such words means the other has given up on reasoning, admitted defeat but will hold it against me for a looooooooong time if not the rest of our relationship. It would be selfish to keep a partner that clearly wants somthing different that badly.

KrisPW · Answer

My skin isn't that thin... I've had some good blow outs with past bfs. I was a bitch at times, they were assholes, it all evens out when passions are flying.

Angela_S · Answer

My b/f only ever calls me a bitch in one situation, and that's when I know he's dying for sex, and I refuse him because we've argued. It doesn't happen very often at all, but when it does happen he's right, I am being a bitch. Do I care? Not really.

Mortdikeuu · Answer

I threatened to call thd police if he texted me again. That was after him ignoring me for about a week. He never spoke to me again.  Your situ is not as bad as what I did

AnthonyJ01 · Answer

That happens, I have been called much worse. I refer to the guy my ex cheated on me with as her Bitch. He is a county deputy and I don't care. Nothing he can do about it. It is just a word. Why let it bother you? A good response is thank you. Or maybe---I know you are, but what am I. Turn it back on them.

t-8900 · Answer

I don't know I think the context and words leading up to it would decide how/if that word was going to have any significance for me. But I'm a guy and i know a lot of women take that word far more seriously.

Shizunk · Answer

It is odd how many people here seem to have super thin skin. One angry word and it's over? Good luck with that. Sticks and stones...

Adam1978 · Answer

That's normal in a very heated argument. That means you crossed a line you shouldn't have if you can't handle those words. Don't push if you can't handled to be pushed back and called out for it.

Celtero · Answer

Is there any proper answer when there is zero context and no way to get the full context?  No.  Maybe it was justified. Maybe the husband is evil. Who the hell knows?

Anonymous · Answer

Your in an unhappy marriage lol. It's pretty obvious you're going to divorce so you can get that sweet alimony + more male attention.

Yes you were being a bitch. Now your going to use the dumb ass calling you that as an excuse to get your divorce.

shepardmaddison · Answer

Calm down, go for a walk, wait until he says sorry and does something to compensate. Plus be sure that it's been said really only in a discussion context and that he doesn't believe that.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I’m shit with that and would laugh. i am bad at just laughing at stuff like that.

lilyanony1 · Answer

I'd be incredibly angry... I mean how unkind could you be? Insult my behaviour, guide be to be better but directly insult me. Ugh!

Ez-Bri-Z · Answer

I mean, its practically a term of endearment in this house so I wouldn't think anything out of the ordinary.

RealMarek · Answer

I would tell him to never talk to me that way again. It is horribly disrespectful. My ex called me names like that and there is a reason why it didn’t work out.

slatyb · Answer

I would never say such a thing, never have, nor would I stay in a relationship with a partner who insults me.

exitseven · Answer

I have been called worse. It would not bother me that much,

NathanDavis · Answer

He has never called me that but has certainly talked down to me. He thinks women are just supposed to fall in love with him.

ohshee · Answer

I would have stopped my feet. and I would have yelled back  I am too!!

Kaneki05 · Answer

That literally would have 0 impact on me. I would just laugh.

Archerer · Answer

The word "bitch" doesn't offend me so I guess I'd just keep listening then reply? Does the word bitch offend you? What about "whore" or "cunt"? I actually love the word bitch lol

Alvin1997 · Answer

It's fine if you two make-up afterwards, because you do the same thing when you are in anger. If you love your spouse you can let go, just don't take too far.

Wiredone · Answer

She's called me a lot worse than that. It doesn't bother me. In heated arguments we do a lot of name calling. We always make up within an hour or so. Make up sex used to be great

loveslongnails · Answer

He probably "means" to say that "right now, you're acting like a bitch", and NOT that you are one. It's an argument, and stupid things get said in anger.

Agape93 · Answer

Pop them in the face. In my home, you will show respect or you can get the fuck out.

steveastro987 · Answer

Basically you have no idea about my past relationship of three and a half years if I told you the story you'd never believe it but I will never hurt someone I care about what mental abuse is ridiculous

LonewolfMeme · Answer

I would be start pissed off but I hope that never happens.

Kabluie · Answer

I'm already a bitch, so they would be telling me the truth.

Andres77 · Answer

I'd stop... Tell him he'd better reevaluate his life choices and leave the house with the kid.

Anonymous · Answer

I'd laugh because 1. I have been called FAR worse things throughout my life and it's cute that the she thought that dollar store insult would get to me and 2. Name calling isn't an argument, so it doesn't prove me wrong.

Joshua0213 · Answer

I wouldn't care, we call each other names like that all the time except in arguments usually so wouldn't bother me

jennifer_Hanmabloom · Answer
