Is This normal

Quote From: tmdm817

Hi my name is Tina,I think name calling is horrible! I have been with my husband for 20 yrs.We have never called each other nasty names to each other faces.In my opinion,respect for each other is number 1.
My husband and I have been maried 24 years and we do not call each other nasty names.The most he will ever say to me is " Oh, honey you are such-a. Never adds that last word. LOL..............I use my own imagination. We get along great, laugh, and are madly in love with each other. I wish other couples could be as happy as we are.

I think some of you are missing the point that Joe and Monica say they like to call each other names.  This obviously works for their relationship. I am going to guess when they call each other fat ass, neither of them are probably fat.  Also, it doesn't sound like it is one-sided, like some of the relationships you all are describing. If Joe was constantly telling Monica she was fat, stupid, lazy, etc. or vice versa ( and meaning it), it might be considered verbal abuse. But it doesn't sound like this is the case. We don't know these people, so "we" probably should be telling them the SERIOUSLY need to do anything.

The couple on the show seemed to have a great deal of respect for eachother. They just played around sarcastically.  If both parties enjoy it then its not hurtful. Words have meaning because we give it to them.  She even said, when he calls her fat she knows he's joking, and the humor in it is that he doesn't think shes fat at all.  I thought they were cute.

This is for all woman. If a man has the nerve to say that to anyone than that must mean the husband/boyfriend is feeling bad about himself and very childish behavior. No amount of reason should he have to say anything like that to anyone. And I do agree that if he supposedly loves his wife then he should really show it and not degrade himself or his wife.
