To me it would indicate a lack of self control and a lack of respect. I don't think it necessarily means they don't love you, but I do think it means they don't respect you.

The question was refering to names being called during an argument

ahh silly me

thinking

i love "dirty" talk in bed. these days,i am so paranoid,that i am actually filtering myself in bed. be seeing you

Ive said some really mean and hateful things in the heat of the moment. I dont mean them......and I always feel bad later.

maybe, but i bet there's some hate mixed in there as well.

Seems like an intelligent view. We are, after all, not perfect and at times some of the names we get called are true.

no matter how angry you are, no matter how hurt. why would you say something hateful and hurtful to someone you love

if they cant count on you when you're angry can they count on you when you're not?

or their try being comes to the forefront

kinda like alcohol

it just removes the inhibitions of their true feelings imo

I agree

I think they can but I certainly wouldn't want to do that to someone I was in an argument with and I would not want them to do that to me.

You turd!

J/K!

I figure if someone resorts to calling names in and arguement they are very limited in their reasoning or maybe just faceing facts about you. Kind of depends on the names and if they are true. If the recipient is not very bright, selfish, unfaithful, poor performer sexually or what ever you can not expect an angery mate to state so in such mild tones. Verbal abuse on the other hand is and excellent warning to end a relationship.

Extream verbal abuse is almost always a very good predictor that physical abuse or other submissive aggressive abuse is coming. Such as wasteing your money, or property, or cheating on you. Why wait around for someone to escallate. Cut your losses and end the relationship.

you are so right pik rember what they say never try to never end a day mad at each other

I guess I was confused. I don't put verbal abuse in the same category as name calling. I've been called "Mr. Wonderful" and "Prince Charming" in circumstances that were less than perfect.

If the shoe fits I wear it . . . with pride.
