Having arguments in a relationship is normal and can even be an indicator of a healthy relationship.
Do you find yourself or your partner resorting to name-calling during heated arguments?
Name-calling can be incredibly damaging to the other partner’s mental health and is considered verbal abuse.
Getting called hurtful names by your partner can leave you doubting yourself and feeling embarrassed and inferior.
When your partner speaks to you disrespectfully, they are not respecting you or your boundaries.
This can cause irreparable damage to the relationship.
Since name-calling is a form of abuse, it is also a toxic form of control.
If you find yourself feeling differently, it could be time to make a change.
This can also help prevent your partner from becoming overly defensive and causing a fight.
Be firm and stick to your boundaries.
If you need additional help, reach out to family, friends, or a counselor for support.
