'crazy' and/or 'b*tch' during a heated argument? What about throwing a glass at the wall and shattering it and punching a hole in a door? To me these seem way over the top under any circumstances. Just wondering what others think.

Under no circumstances is it ok to call your spouse names or throw things. Those are things children do when fighting. Your spouse is the person you chose to spend your life with. Often they are the parent of your children. If you cannot respect them as a person in that moment, respect their position as your spouse. Besides, what does name calling accomplish?

One thing to remember when "fighting" with your spouse is that when both parties are trying to "win", no one really wins. Stay calm and listen to them. Discuss the matter as adults and you both win.

These are unacceptable.

Referring to another post on here, these are deal breakers. Had one been alerted of such behavior during dating, would be a red flag to get out IMO. Unfortunately, sometimes people do know find out enough about their spouses until its too late. If my husband acted in such a way, no matter what type of argument or circumstance, I would not tolerate it. Nor would he tolerate this from me.

Violent behavior such as this often times only gets worse if someone is allowed to get away with it.

I've been called both of those things in heated moments, but never in an argument. I didn't mind it at all...

I don't thing the name-calling is a deal breaker, but getting violent might be. People say all kinds of things they don't mean in the heat of the moment.

I wouldn't like it, but it is a fight, after all. We'd get over it.

uh hum, heated moments would be the only appropriate time to use any type of these words

However, NEVER during an argument.
