Partner called me a c*** and f-ing b****

am I in the wrong

partner and I were play fighting I tickled his neck and he was bent over and then pinched the back of my leg which went up and accidentally kneed him in the eye which is when he started swearing and shouting at me for an accident.

I think his language is disgusting and not acceptable no matter what happened and he is angry because I refused to apologise for accidentally kneeing him after he started swearing at me.

am I in the wrong?

we’ve had arguments in the past about his language use and tbh I feel like just saying we’re not meant to be together and I’ve had enough.

Of course YANBU OP. It was an accident. It would the last time he would be calling me that name.

Janieforever · 24/07/2023 19:22

How does that happen, you accidentally knee someone in the face?

Cosyblankets · 24/07/2023 19:23

If you've had enough then leave

JaneJeffer · 24/07/2023 19:24

Give over

vodkaredbullgirl · 24/07/2023 19:24

Leave, if you have had enough.

He reacted to pain, people lash out when they're in pain or react strongly when they're hurt. If that's the only time he does it I'd say you're the one to blame for hurting him AND REFUSING TO APOLOGISE.

Ballsacks · 24/07/2023 19:25

Why would you refuse to apologise? I would apologise for it. Seems pedantic to not apologise.

10HailMarys · 24/07/2023 19:27

You both sound like a pair of petulant twats to be honest

Clarinet1 · 24/07/2023 19:27

IMO YWBU to be playfighting!

GrazingSheep · 24/07/2023 19:27

Might be the best thing to split up. For both your sakes

Whatislifegw · 24/07/2023 19:27

I did apologize after 10 minutes but initially refused to after the way he spoke with me.

but our 2 year old son was watching the whole thing.

When Play Fighting Goes Bad

LovingLalo · 24/07/2023 19:28

Hmmmmmm

Ballsacks · 24/07/2023 19:30

"Someone's going to get hurt!" is usually what adults would say to kids fighting and they'd have been right

Cosyblankets · 24/07/2023 19:37

If someone kneed me in the face I'm not sure my language would have been suitable for the two year old to be watching

Octonaut4Life · 24/07/2023 19:39

You're both in the wrong, it's bizarre not to apologise when you just kneed someone in the face. The language is totally unacceptable but that doesn't mean you get to not apologise!

GrazingSheep · 24/07/2023 19:41

Poor child

Physically Fighting in front of your toddler? Way to mess up their boundaries!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd just not up with bad language in front of a toddler. Next thing DC will be saying what Daddy did. But then, I'd not be play fighting in front of a child in the first place.

How are you?

Grow up

Dovetail40 · 24/07/2023 19:47

How old are you not how are you!

MandaX · 24/07/2023 19:48

Accidents happen, if he wasn't so horrible maybe he would have got an apology. He sounds like he needs to control his temper! YANBU !

Ballsacks · 24/07/2023 19:48

It was a knee jerk reaction

Emmamoo89 · 24/07/2023 19:48

YADNBU X

Dunnoburt · 24/07/2023 19:50

Yabu.....he reacted as I probably would have in those extremely odd circumstances......
