In a heat argument my boyfriend said I was better off killing myself. Is that normal behavior in a argument?

That should never be considered normal behavior for an argument, no.

That's a very harsh, and completely unnecessary, thing to say to anyone, especially a person with whom you're in a relationship, and profess to have feelings for. I would consider that to be a red flag in a significant other.

Absolutely not, it's highly abusive. Get the hell away from him permanently. If you can, get professional counseling to figure out why you think this could possibly be ok. How was your home life as a child?

NO that's a bad thing. It violates you right to live personally in any context even if it's philosophical. I'd be aware if he saids anything like this.

Probably to prevent Demunists from filbustering on the House floor. So far, it's been far more of *them* caught up in this...

damn, how did this wind up in the wrong thread? Anyway, people get angry and do rash actions in bitter arguments sometimes.

That is disgusting behavior and a huge red flag... maybe time for a new boyfriend?

[dudeinohio]

No. It is emotional abuse.

What exactly are you arguing about?

[Anonymous]

Nope

[zombiewoof]
