Is flicking off your partner "toxic" in a relationship if it's just kidding around?

[hardboiledink]

If your girlfriend or boyfriend likes to jokingly flick you off and give you the middle finger would you consider that toxic, rude, and mean or okay?

Depends on your relationship.

I've got several friends who know me well enough that we can flip each other off, lovingly.

But some people just don't like that. It's important to respect the boundaries of those you love. Hell, it's just polite to respect anyone's boundaries.

Let's put it this way as a woman with self respect & who was raised properly I see such conduct as incredibly low class. As in you failed high school, you don't have a job, and you're mentally 10 years old. And that when you asked earlier about calling women stupid, etc. that you have serious problems that you're negative - toxic & not even your own mother would like you.

I don't really care if I'm flipped off as long as I understand you're joking, but I personally don't like doing the middle finger so it would be a one-way street. I don't even really try to cuss, either.

Not really a fan of it. I've never done that to a girlfriend.

It’s fine, as long as it’s obvious that it’s in a joking way. A coworker of mine does that to everyone, flips us off any chance he gets. We just laugh and do it back, lol.
