What do you think?

BabcockPeggy · 12/06/2025 21:05

No

HangingOver · 12/06/2025 21:05

Absolutely not

Maray1967 · 12/06/2025 21:05

If my DH used those words on me our marriage would be over.

Aimtodobetter · 12/06/2025 21:05

No it’s never ever ok.

Lookingafterthepennies · 12/06/2025 21:05

Nope

Supersimkin7 · 12/06/2025 21:06

It’s a very bad sign. Particularly if he’s not a sweary fucker or you didn’t just murder his parents.

Stripeyanddotty · 12/06/2025 21:06

Is your dd ok?

DrinkFeckArseBrick · 12/06/2025 21:07

Never

RememberBeKindWithKaren · 12/06/2025 21:08

Not to me, nope..

Jk987 · 12/06/2025 21:08

Not ok.

Neither is using the word nagging. You were probably just asking him to do something.

LooTenant · 12/06/2025 21:09

Eww never 😑

Nametobechanged · 12/06/2025 21:09

ExDH called me a stupid fat cunt shortly before we married. The cruelty only escalated from there.

PeapodMcgee · 12/06/2025 21:10

No. It's abuse.

BreakingBroken · 12/06/2025 21:10

nope not okay under any circumstance.

whatcanthematterbe81 · 12/06/2025 21:10

No matter what your post said, the answer is NO. NEVER

LoztWorld · 12/06/2025 21:11

No never ok. Can you talk to your daughter about it? She needs to understand it’s not right.

ZAK3 · 12/06/2025 21:12

My now Ex called me that amongst other vile things 3 years ago in earshot of our young kids , it was the beginning of the end of our marriage after many ups &downs its was just so disgusting to be called that by my husband. LO & behold I found him calling me a C**T today on a family WhatsApp chat that had my teenager in it, I can't even tell you how horrendous it's all been, please do not accept this type of name calling xxx

chocolatelover91 · 12/06/2025 21:13

Absolutely not.

CloudywMeatballs · 12/06/2025 21:14

YABU to even ask.

AnotherNaCha · 12/06/2025 21:14

Awful, sorry. Now that you know he’s got that in him, it changes everything.

dogcatkitten · 12/06/2025 21:14

No.

AbzMoz · 12/06/2025 21:15

Absolutely not. For me, it is less the word and more the tone and behaviour (we use curse words fluidly in my household and social circle so calling someone a dozy cunt or a fucking bellend is all par for the course, but it’s never said with malice or aggression).
You seem to bake in his ‘justification’ with your ‘nagging’, but seems the reaction is disproportionate and frankly not what anyone deserves.
Can you have a calm conversation around this and how this is a hard line? If not, or if that doesn’t go well… that tells you all you need to know.

CagneyNYPD1 · 12/06/2025 21:15

Nope, never.

The only context would be if he was under strong sedation and had no idea what he was doing or saying.

My mum said some very strong words to my dad when she was in labour with her first baby (my dsis). That is acceptable and nothing was ever said like that in their 45+ years of marriage. And Dad used to joke about it because it was indeed funny.

But your situation isn’t funny @vinoinveritas not for you nor your dd. Is he her father?

lolomoon · 12/06/2025 21:16

Never. Not once. Not ever…
