Is in my house...

sagfold · 30/06/2013 12:14

Every few mins would be normal in mine

Alisvolatpropiis · 30/06/2013 12:59

Every few months?

That's pretty restrained.

picnicbasketcase · 30/06/2013 13:01

Is it the swear words that are the problem, or the sentiment behind them?

usualsuspect · 30/06/2013 13:01

What a fucker he is.

purplemurple1 · 30/06/2013 13:02

Mines about the same, so I hope so.

When it gets more/ or it starts to annoy me I ask him to tone it down and he does. If it bothers you could you not just ask him to try not to swear in the house/in front of you?

catgirl1976 · 30/06/2013 13:03

Mine swears every couple of words

I suppose the context / inflection is more pertinent than the words?

TheRealFellatio · 30/06/2013 13:04

My husband swore every few months when he met me. Now he swears every few days.

I swear every few minutes hours.

elQuintoConyo · 30/06/2013 13:06

Does he actually say f-starring marriage, f-starring-dinner, for f-starsake ? Sounds very restrained to me.
Is he a kind of See You Next Tuesday kinda man?

Buzzardbird · 30/06/2013 14:16

Yabu...or Yanbu. Not sure which. Hmm

whereaboutinlondon · 30/06/2013 15:56

When we were fighting over dinner he said f*cking dinner and I asked him to apologise for swearing and he wouldnt.

Fighting about dinner? What happened?

Think you need to add more context. A lot of people swear, it depends in which circumstance.

amigababy · 30/06/2013 16:08

YANBU. wouldn't happen here, from me never, from him only at football if severely tested by events on the pitch.

CrowsLanding · 30/06/2013 16:10

Every few months? Shock

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 30/06/2013 16:10

I wouldn't either. I'm an adult - if I choose to swear that's my business. You'd love living with me NOT.

If it's the swearing that's bothering you, you just need to get over it.

If it's the sentiment behind it (ie fucking marriage - the marriage is a problem) then deal with that, but don't tell a grown man he can't swear.

BitBewildered · 30/06/2013 16:14

I swear. I wouldn't apologise for swearing. YABVU.

insancerre · 30/06/2013 16:18

you asked him to apologise for swearing?
are you his mother?
Shock

Tweasels · 30/06/2013 16:22

He fucked the dinner?

whereaboutinlondon · 30/06/2013 16:24

He cooked dinner and made the table put dishes. I came across the hob hob was still turned on. I told him this is the second time he forgot turning off the hob in a few weeks. He said he was still cooking and was busy to move floweres on the dinner table and put dishes in time. I said that is no excuse to turn off the hob and safety should be no.1 priority. So we were having an argument for 5 minutes and and he suddenly moved his plate to the coffee table not to eat with me and said something (I dont remember what he was exactly said) including f*cking dinner.

divorce the fucking bastard

ChippingInWiredOnCoffee · 30/06/2013 16:26

It doesn't sound like the swearing is your biggest problem.

Is English your second language?

CrowsLanding · 30/06/2013 16:27

Leave the bastard. Just tell him you want a fucking divorce Grin

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 30/06/2013 16:28

I am so fucking confused.

usualsuspect · 30/06/2013 16:29

Did he say'cook your own fucking dinner'

PrettyKitty1986 · 30/06/2013 16:31

What an absolute fucking cunt.
