Lying in a maternity hospital bed after my second miscarriage and my ex turning to me on seeing a heavily pregnant woman in the corridor "How sexy does she look?"
As well as continuing, psycho, slag, lazy, fat , no one likes you etc etc etc......no one will ever speak to me like that again

I think you’ll find if he directed that at someone who had a disability it would be a criminal matter @Idontknowausername
Seriously, you find it hilarious?
What is wrong with you?

My xh called me a bastard, to which I replied that I wasn't, because I knew both my parents. There was probably more but that stuck in my mind and when I was talking to my shl, I realised how nasty it was and cried my eyes out.

A "fucking lefty liberal cunt" during a Brexit argument. A "bitch with a heart of stone" when I refused to express upset over some sentimental nonsense on the TV.

My sister once called me the son of a bitch. I did laugh.

Human psychology is interesting.
I have read these comments and my position is not to judge.

Couples argue, words are thrown - sometimes one or the other can't take it and it escalates.

One often ends up a victim instead of both.
Women are sometimes known to be capable of giving out as much (sometimes more) than what they get.
Some men take a lot of crap and don't fight back.They may hurt or they may understand or both. But for a man to take that and carry on is not recognised mainstream as worthy of mention?
A gentleman isn't one who simply opens a door or pulls out a chair or pays for drinks etc...
Women too, can and do, choose to stay.

I used heterosexual relationships here as an example.

Be what you want. Love who you want.
But don't forget there are all kinds of relationships in various orientations. And let's not pretend issues are not found there.

To put it in another way - you can't recognise issues in one sector of society and ignore it in another.

A slag .... I’ve slept with 2 men in 30 years so I suspect he is the slag not me Confused

VelvetKitty · 03/02/2021 18:52

A fucking bitch, fucking cunt. Fat, ugly, boring...

@Shesheadingonin yes thankfully the strength has come from somewhere but it's tough going because we are still in the one house. Had a lot of family pressure too from very elderly parents to stay with him but no way myself & my children deserve more than this.

Absolutely Forward.

I wish you all the best. You WILL get there & it WILL be better 💐

Foward · 03/02/2021 20:07

@EarringsandLipstick it's has taken me an awful long time but I've kept going & kept dreaming. I'm looking forward to my 50s & getting some peace at last. I have been to hell & back over the years but I refuse to look back & waste anymore time on him onwards & upwards. All ducks in a row & ready for a better life. Please God it works out. I can't take anymore.

@Foward I’m in a similar situation. Been together 20 years, going through mediation and divorce and still in the same home with teens. Thankfully it is now amicable since going through hell for over a year. It’s a slow burner but we are doing something about it. It must be very difficult for you having to deal with outside pressure. Keep going, you know what is best for you and your kids. Focus on the destination and how relieved you will be when you get there.

Foward · 03/02/2021 20:10

@Wotapolava this thread is for one sector of society. You could always start up another thread if you would like to do so.

Psychotic!

EarringsandLipstick · 03/02/2021 20:17

@Foward

You're amazing. You will have an excellent new life, away from this.

My abusive marriage ended 7 years ago, when I had 3 v small children. It has been v tough. But undoubtedly, not having to live in fear of what that day's abuse would be has saved my life. I don't think I withdraw have survived much longer in the relationship & dread to think of the effect on my children.

The OP's thread title refers to 'your husband/partner'. 'Partner' is a comprehensive term that could refer to relationships of any orientation.

Foward · 03/02/2021 21:01

@Wotapolava just to clarify this thread is relation to a male partner or husband to a female partner or wife.

Stupid bitch / stupid cow / dog / probably fucking bitch can’t remember.

He’s my ex husband. Thank the Lord. Horrible, really horrible.

My ex h called me a money grabbing bitch. He was bitter because I was awarded pension sharing do I got a chunk.of his pension. My dh only calls me lovely things, which are not all true at all but still nice to hear.

Whether you are a man or a woman or no matter what type of relationship you are in I think in my opinion that it is totally unacceptable to call a person derogatory names. It is so hurtful & causes untold damage. I have no idea why I took it for so long but I will never take it from anyone again. Everyone should be treated with dignity & respect. How someone could think that it is acceptable behaviour is beyond me. Although I have also got the odd thump given under the pretense of fun. Presses have been punched & other items in temper.

Annoying.
To be fair he had a point.
I would have been annoyed with me if I was someone else!
