Just that, on a scale of 1-10

  1. I would be very very upset. Dh has never called me names in anger and we've been together 20 years. There is no excuse for it.
PsychosonicCindy · 23/11/2019 23:31

110!

Exp1etiveDeLighted · 23/11/2019 23:32

10, we don't call each other names in anger.

JumpyLiz · 23/11/2019 23:33

It would be off the scale.

Not being an arse, we’ve had our barneys over the years, but we’ve never sworn AT each other. Honestly

I'd be genuinely shocked and I'd either think that he must be having some kind of breakdown or that the marriage was pretty much over.

I've been tempted to call my DH a prick the past...
I would be more annoyed if he said something like I wish I'd never married you, or You're a horrible, uncaring mother, but not so much with cunt.
Also violence would be 10/unforgivable.

Did he apologise?

  1. If said in anger I know he doesn’t mean it and I can give just as good back.
KnightandDay · 23/11/2019 23:35

10 only because it's the highes.

Bufferingkisses · 23/11/2019 23:43

It would depend if I had been.

Unprovoked and out of control anger - 100

Angry response to my (presumably) terrible behaviour - 8 - but I'd have to acknowledge my part in it

Singlenotsingle · 23/11/2019 23:45
  1. We love and respect each other too much.
LoseLooseLucy · 23/11/2019 23:45

10/10, I'd consider it vicious 😬

Yeahnahyeah1 · 23/11/2019 23:49

He would never, ever have the chance to do it again, we’d be done. My abusive (in every way) ex used to call me that, and it’s just the most vile way to speak to someone in anger. I will not have it again.

cheeseislife8 · 23/11/2019 23:50

Off the scale. It would be the first and last time

rosesforever · 23/11/2019 23:51

MoaningMinniee · 23/11/2019 23:52

Off the scale and I'd be gone.

AnneTwackie · 23/11/2019 23:52

He wanted to get his haircut when it was my turn for a lie in and I said no that’s not fair. After he said it I slept in the other room. He apologised but I’m still pretty shocked. We do swear at each other ‘stop being a dick’ etc but just a bit shocked.

  1. Things get said in the moment in anger. I don't think cunt is that bad of a word tbh.
MoaningMinniee · 23/11/2019 23:53

OP is there a reason you're asking this and do you need a hand hold?

MoaningMinniee · 23/11/2019 23:54

Sorry about twelve tons of xposts xxx

AnneTwackie · 23/11/2019 23:55

I’m ok but thanks moaningminniee just checking I’m not over reacting!

OP posts:
areyouafraidofthedark · 23/11/2019 23:56

Some of the responses for someone using the word cunt in anger which sounds like a one off are silly. It's a swear ffs! OP he was angry as long as he apologised and it was a one off let it go.

VanyaHargreeves · 24/11/2019 00:04

Would depend on tone

Said viciously 100

AnneTwackie · 24/11/2019 00:05

I’m not about to LTB but the first cunt in 14 years together does feel like a bit of turning point
