Same here. "Many a truth said in jest". It's crude, rude and not appropriate to call anyone names, much less family members. Unacceptable.

SMH, some of you shouldn't be married, let alone in a relationship.

No, I find it to be extremely disrespectful. Name calling has no place in a loving marriage and once you cross that line that's it.

He's never attempted to light his farts in front of me with a lighter and a can of hair spray, so no, not yet.

If he does put that sucker up here.


I'm not above a good fart joke, as those familiar with my posting history may gather.

Nope. Words hurt. If we can't talk to each other with sense, we don't say a thing.

My wife calls me a 'rotten ass' just about every day. Somehow, I feel my day is not really complete until I get one of those or get flipped off.

I am a bit of a 'rotten ass', so I certainly have it coming. As long as she delivers that line with a smirk on her face, I know the nature in which it is intended.

About specific things, yes. As would I call myself.
that isn't becuase i think of her as a vapid person, she just can't know everything about anything.

I Would never use those words in person or out loud since they are most common associated as negative ways of illustrating a lack of thought or knowledge, and I know she would identify with those terms in that way first without further explaination involved.

Most people who hear and use those words are doing so with a context of "mental retardation" involved. It's just best not to go there and save yourself some explaination time and others some hurt feelings.

Default Would you call your spouse an idiot or moron?

Not if I knew what was good for me!
