I know what this feels like and its hard to let it go. As u said, once and u can let it go but when its continuous its really hard to ignore. For me made the big decision about it, I left. But i have to admit, i wasnt married to him so it was a little easier. I dont know if this will help, and im sorry i cant suggest anything else. Im also sorry u have to go thru something like that. Good luck

how does your partner talk to you
thank you all so much for your comments i dont really feel that alone in all these sort of things and having this website is just great i have saved a text message he sent me from 2 months ago which was the nastiest one i have ever got from him and last night when he wanted you know what!i asked him to read the text that he had sent me and asked if he would sleep with me if id sent it to him,his reply was i cant believe how nasty i am  he did seem very shocked and couldnt believe i had kept it maybe it has worked who knows but it's worth a try as i love him so very much and he has promised not to call me that again which is somthing he has never done so hey i'll wait and see and once more it's councelling or me and the boys are gone thank you all once again you have all been so helpful and understanding oh and someone asked if i name call back to him ?i dont but im really bad at dragging up the past and throwing it at him so i have promised myself and him to stop as it all adds to terriable fighting thanks guys

how does your partner talk to you
i know its hard not to retaliate, i do it all the time,
i am the type to bite back with saying '' your mum'' when he calls me nasty names....
i feel like a tightass  saying it coz i really like his mum....

i have been trying this lately, and it works sometimes....
so if it happens again, just turn around, and say ''im not listening to you when you speak to me this way'' and walk off, go out in the yard (away from him) and cool down.

if he calls you anything demeaning, ask him who cooks his dinner? coz a **insert word here**  most certainly doesn't, has worked for me, now he knows i won't cook if im spoken down on.

if you said some bad words aswell, its best to be the better person and apologise, explain why you hit the roof and ask for an apology in return.

hope this helps you, even though they are only words, they can hurt. But we gotta learn to let it in one ear and out the other.

xx channy

Ponit blank its got to stop ,, for the sake of your children ,, i would be mortifyed if my partner ever called me a nasty name and i wouldnt ever do this myself no matter what ,,when he starts to walk away and say no stop this ,, we love eachother and we shouldnt be doing this to eachother let alone showing the children thats how loving parents act towards eachother ... let eachother cool off before sitting down to talk etc,,, and try to make a promise to eachother that you BOTH wont be doing this to eachother again

learn to talk to eachother  again and communicate with eachother again please  and get this sorted out asap

when you first were dating it was all roses dont let any more thorns come into both of your lifes with nasty words and dont loose respect for eachother .. talk when both are calm and be the bigger person and dont say nasty words back

it is not right
it is not right for him to call u names. U shouldn't either call him names but by trying to control ur fights on ur side would show him u have more class than him. For him to call u names and make u feel guilty is a way for him to take control over ur emotions and make u feel low. Tell him calmly that u don't deserve to be called those names and that u won't accept it anymore. If he gets mad say that u will talk to him when he will be acting like an adult. Take care and u don't deserve mental abuse.

Hi there, I think no one has the right to talk to anyone like that. I hate the fact that you are going though that. But i do agree with what everyone is saying. Your partner needs to go and learn respect.  You need to ask yourself how is this affecting you and your children. He needs a wake up call.

My husband and I have both used words like S***T and the F word during heated fights, but that's it. During the first year of our marriage, we used to fight a lot and so we sought counseling. The therapist had told us that even though neither of us mean the bad things we say and call each other during fights, that it does cause a little of what she calls "soul death". A little part of each of us gets affected by what we say and so we should take care of what comes out of our mouths during a fight.

If you are internalizing the verbal abuse, I suggest to seek counseling.

I second Izzy's recommendation.

In addition to the toll it will take on the marriage if your children grow up seeing this on a regular basis they will internalize it and could end up thinking this is "normal" and in the future would risk resorting to the same degrading tactics in their own relationship conflicts.

My partner always treats me with love and respect.

If my partner ever spoke to me the way your is no matter how bad the arguement we would have serious issues.

What your partner does is cruel and not right. Ask yourself if this is really what you want out of a relationship.

Cheers Kellz

OMG hun, I feel your pain. I have an ex that used to do that to me, I allowed it to go on for about 3 years and then I ended it. You do not deserve that. Yes during fights we all sometimes say things we do not mean but when it starts to be one partner trying to directly hurt the other then there is something majorly wrong. My partner that I am with now and I love each other to death but when we argue, sometimes we do say and do a few things we shouldn't however we have never called each other names and if he ever did thatt o me I swear I'd have a flash back to bad relationships of teh past and beat him half to death. You are better then that and someone who loves you should not being saying things to belittle you or make you feel bad about yourself.

Hi, i agree with what has already been said here. My husband doesn't swear infront of me let alone at me. He was brought up with old school manners. He even still opens doors for me. Such fowl and offensive language has no place in a marriage. Your partner needs to stop doing this to you. It is abuse and i think you two might need help to sort things out. Goodluck to you both.

My heart goes out to you, i'm sorry to say this is outright abuse, and mental abuse can do so much more damage than physical abuse which can heal, but ANY ABUSE AT ALL SHOULD NOT HAPPEN or be tolerated. Firstly you need to find some inner strength to pull yourself out of that pit of despair and have belief in yourself, and know that you are worthy of respect. But mental abuse is like a festering sore and without medical help will only get alot worse. You say that you have been with him for 11 years but you don't say how long this has been going on for, if he has just started with this form of abuse, i'd say there is unlying reasons for it.

I too have been abused and have just written my story on it so i ,know where your coming from, so know there are people out there willing to help you and give you moral suupport, but you have to be strong enough to make the first move,

You say you don't want him to come near you and you do it to keep the peace,thats not a life. If you feel like i did, when he comes near you, your stomach feels like it's in knot's, you feel sick, you want it over as soon as possible and when it is over you do feel like what he called you and dirty. If you feel like this i'd say you might be on the road of no return unless you both get help ASAP.

Also your concerns that your boy's are witness too this abuse should be your strength to say NO MORE. If it continues they will grow up thinking thats normal behaviour towards females. Iam thinking at this point damage has already occurred to you, low self esteem, afeeling of  loneliness and most of all not knowing what to do or where to turn. Just know your not alone.

Your minti friends have given you some great advice, and if i could give you just one thing that would be the strength i had THE DAY I SAID NO MORE ABUSE. If you need to talk any time i'm here.

Your Friend Janice

Here a heart for you.I hope i can help you out here. Sorry, but i do have to say that he is marginalising you by saying to you, "youre being melodramatic, i didnt mean it, etc etc. Now youre questioning yourself that maybe you are overreacting, and let me tell you, you're definately not over reacting. Never question yourself as a person and dont let people attack your confidence and self esteem. Foul name calling is degrading,demoralising and  disrespectful to you in all ways as a person and woman and i personally think he needs to have a vomit in the toilet and flush it.!

In the heat of moment or not i not think any parter has a right use such words its disrecpted to   each other.    This can lead to depression   where you either one  feels worthless and its not a great place to be   ,as its  a road back to good about yourself.

Go and get some help from family caneclors   be fore its to late

In almost 26 years of marriage my husband would never dream of using language like that with me. Its totally unacceptable from either of you. Arguments happen but it it disintergrates into a slanging match then you have bigger issues to deal with my advice is marriage counselling, someone somewhere has to break that nasty cycle even if it means you go on your own initially. People should be able to openly and honestly discuss issues without it falling apart but if you sense that its the end result of a discussion stop, walk away and cool off. YOu cant resolve an issue in the heat of an argument.

Whether it's heat of the moment stuff or not - this partner of yours has no respect for you. If it were me and my partner, I'd show him the door. Namecalling and the like is appalling behaviour. Anyone can vent their feelings and get their viewpoint across without degrading the other half. If your partner has no other way to express their frustration/annoyance, etc now, then how will they express it in the future. Name calling now, becomes so much more later. You're worth more!!! Good luck.

You both need to seek help on this
Name calling is abuse there is no other pretty name for it
You will eventually believe the names are correct and will feel very worthless
If you can get professional help now to talk to you both, it can be stopped if you don't it is only going to get much worse and you will find yourself either very ill or the relationship broken down
Get Help!!

 sling enough mud and some of its bound to stick. thats whats happening here honey.. hes called you these names for so long that youre starting to believe him..it is important that you know within yourself that you are a good person, that way the things he says wil have less effect.. my ex called me a slut in front of our kids one day and i was mortified...(granted he would up with a full packet of spaghetti upside the head.. not idea for the kids to see either..).. he shouldnt talk to you that way and YOU shouldnt take it .. once the name calling starts simply refuse to acknowledge him any further..go about your business even if he is in your face and tell him that you will only talk to him once he can talk to you respectfully..the sad part here is that he has already damaged you in a terrible way.. you dont want to be near him and that is never a good thing .. probably the best thing for you to do is to seek some counselling. separately and  as a couple.. i have been there hon. once you lose that desire to be close to him... it is so hard to go back.. good luck with this... thoughts are with you xoxo

hi when my hubby and i have arguements yes we say things in a heated way, but never has he said such horrible things as that...I suggest that you ask him why he is saying this, and ask for some respect as i honestly dont think you are being melodramatic, as if he was my hubby he would be out on his backside...Hope you can resolve this,and have a happy marriage...

This is abuse not just name calling.........I would write him a letter and put all of your feelings down on paper and suggest counseling,it sounds a if he could use some anger management classes.See first comes verbal abuse and then physical abuse follows shortly after let him know you will not accept this behaviour regards Merle

thank  you for your comment i agree the worst things is that he speaks to me like this in front of our three sons and i worry that they will grow up to see that is is normal and that it is okto talk to people like this i just hate it and i know that i can be way over the top in arguments i would never say that im an angel but we have been together for eleven years and im just so sick of being spoken to that way and i feel that because it's been said so many times now i just dont forget it anymore i stew on it all the time and just the thought sometimes of giving myself to him well it makes me feel like what he calls me as silly as that sounds as i know im not but i just cant help but like this now thanks again and i will write him a letter
