Surely this is not normal behaviour?

[AllNaturalIngredients]

This doesn’t involve me but a friend was telling me how her cousin’s wife Had phoned him to tell her she had hit the Wheel of their new car. He started shouting stuff down the phone at her, calling her, specifically, a stupid fucking cunt.

Everyone thought this was funny, I couldn’t believe it. If someone spoke to me like that I would leave them. ...but then I’m single so!

Maybe I’m just easily shocked/offended but I’ve never been spoken to like that in a relationship before, and certainly my mum & dad would never speak to each other like that.

No, it’s not normal behaviour at all. If dh ever spoke to me like that it would be game over.

Yeah that's not normal behaviour.

Not normal. At all.

How do 13% of the voters think this is actually ok?? Surely no one should speak to their partner in that way, EVER!!

No. It isn't normal at all. I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to raise the issue though as many MNers use the 'C' word whereas in real life I don't know anyone who uses the term.

Sadly it’s probably normal in some people’s lives. Certainly not in mine.

Using it and shouting it at someone are two very different things.

The first day after passing my test I wrapped the car door round a pillar in a car park (just don’t).

I called my husband in tears. He said ‘oh no - are you ok?! Don’t worry about it - it’s only a car - we’ll sort it out.’

I’ll never stop being surprised at the shit people put up with in relationships.

I feel sorry for her that everyone's normalising and laughing at it. She needs people telling her hes abusive

My friend recently got engaged. We met for lunch but she was late as her car wouldn't start and her fiance had to drive her. He was fuming about this. Even that would be a dealbreaker for me but different people accept different things.

My DH wrote my beloved first little car off.

Sure I was a little upset for the car.

But honestly my concern was his health and safety and have never called him names for it.

If I do see the same old little Ford KA anywhere (which now I think about it has been a LONG time!) then I'll feign upset and joke a bit with him. That's as mean as we get.
