Am I right to be angry that my husband called me a cunt?

The other day we went to a party, we had a good time although my husband drank too much, the next day I saw on his phone that he had text his friend during the party and said ‘my wife is a miserable cunt’ I was really hurt. He said it was just banter but I found it disrespectful and derogatory. He says I’m overreacting, he was drunk and didn’t mean it. Our marriage is very strained at the minute and this feels like the final nail in the coffin. AIBU?

He shouldn’t have called you it, but if you are looking on his phone I’d say there are worse things going on here.

You’re right, as I said things have been very strained between us but I was actually going on there to go on his eBay as there was a spoiler he wanted for his car, I was going to order it as a surprise for his birthday. His messages hadn’t been closed down…needless to say I didn’t order the spoiler

Try calling him a prick and see how that goes down 😡

Final nail I would say

He needs to text his mate to tell him he didn't mean it.
Or call him a cunt to one of your mates but tell him you didn't mean it and see how he likes it.

The only unreasonable thing is if you're still calling him a husband.
