Search Results: saying i love you those words

My boyfriend of 3 years got upset because of something I said. He proceeded to call me a fat “c”, fat b$&ch, stupid b$&ch… among other things.

We were having a discussion about electric cars and gas prices. I said that we need to rely less on petroleum and I thought the government should increase the tax credit so that electric cars would be more affordable for the regular person.

He said why should I have yo pay for someone else yo have an electric car?

I responded “My taxes go towards a lot of wars that I don’t support so I think this should be considered the same. There are many things that I pay for that I don’t support. The good this will create outweighs the people who don’t want clean cars.”

He served our country as a Marine and he proceeded to tell me that I was an ungrateful “C” and all the other insults. I listened quietly during his rant. He kept hanging up on me and then calling me back to insult me some more. I was very calm and I remember only saying “tell me more of how you feel about me.” I didn’t insult him back because honestly I don’t insult people I love, it’s not my personality. Then on his last call I was silent and when he was done he said “Do you have something you want to say to me” or “what do you have to say” something like that I was really upset but I didn’t react at all. My voice was steady and the only thing I said was - this is it for us. Then he started yelling again and insulting me some more.

Wondering what everyone thinks about this. Was this my fault? Was his reaction warranted? I honestly don’t think I could ever “be” with him after he called me a fat “C”, and honestly I’m more offended he kept calling me fat than the C word, but I keep thinking who would say these things to a person they love? I wouldn’t.

Several men and even young boys still put themselves right in front of danger. There was an article on youtube about a 6 year-old boy saving his younger sister from a dog but it cost him multiple facial surgeries... so young and already making a decision like that. They could've ran the other way in fear and save themselves but usually don't do that. Sadly, sometimes they get badly injured or die in the process.

I'm alive because of my 1st boyfriend pushing me out of the way (placing himself directly in danger) of a drunk driver long ago. We were just 19 at the time. Sadly he died after saying blurting out the last words ''I love you''. He was so young with his whole life ahead.

By placing themselves in danger, they are choosing the other person's life and safety over their own. Is that naturally innate, taught or both?
