Is it normal that i lose my temper and swear at my wife

Shame and embarrasment are weighing my fingers as I type, so I'll be brief. To all eyes, I am a great husband and father, and 362 days, more or less, I am. I love, I care, I compliment, etc. but about every 3 months, I lose my temper and when I do, I call my wife a b*tch, even a c*nt once or twice in past 8-9 years. I demean her, debase her, then spend the rest of the year slowly cleaning it up. The problem is, I hate myself for this, swear to myself and her that I 'll never do it again ... but the truth is that WHILE I'm doing it ... that's all gone. I WANT to destroy it all...want to throw it all away ....

    i dont think you gave enough information because what is she doing while this happens? is it literaly just DING 3 months up and u snap? OR does she do something every 3months and makes you rage? i think we need more information befor anyone can make a clear choice ... cause personaly iv swore at my wife , but that was after being swore at myself for hours. cause and effect....i dont swear unless im being swore at.

    ^complete douche. It's okay to lose your temper once in a while. After all you are human. But if you ever feel like getting really mad. Just remember how much you love your wife and how wonderful she is to you(that's if she is)

    In my opinion you're a piece of arrogant, conceited s**t. Your wife should leave you.

  • I am no expert in this kind of thing, because I am only a pre-teen.
    But I think this is immensly normal, I mean the C word is a little much though. Although there has to be a specific target for why you do these things! Why don't you go to couples counseling? But if you don't love eachother anymore, than you just don't, can't force it. Although if you have children, stay togethor until they move out so there is no traumatic experiences for them.
    I hoped I helped you sir!

    I've had a man lose his temper at me like that once before., it's not fun. It's makes you feel just awful. Just.. Leave when you feel an outburst about to happen. Idc where you go, just don't take it out on her. Or maybe calmly ask her to leave you alone for a while and lock yourself in the room til you can control your temper. But it is normal to lose your temper. You just need to let it out more often in smaller amounts and displaced on inanimate things w/o feelings, like say at the batting cages? Or w/e hobby you may have that is physically exhausting.

    Mudbleach raises some intersting points. Some relationships between women and men run hard and hot with this level of disrespect. If a man ever called your daughter the bitch or the cunt how would you react? Bedroom talk in the passionate heat of ass-smacking, hair pulling sex is one thing but to refer to a woman in those terms in public or in the presence of your children is outrageous.

    Stop it. If you lose your cool... you ain't cool at all.

    My dad does that alot to my mom,and I hate my dad for it. do you have any kids? If you do i know that it scares them and they probably try to avoid you whenever you are angry. Raising your voice is not a way to get yourself heard. Playing it cool and Thinking things through is the way to go.

    we need more information. what did she fo to provoke you to call her names? personally, I've never called my boyfriend any names, sure we've fought, but if ever called me a bitch or cunt I'd leave him. that's not the kind of man I want in my life.

    Its ok to get angry once in a while but if shes a good woman to you you should feel embarrassed for calling the woman you should love and care for such horrible things. Try and go out when things get to heavy

    It's obviously U have an anger issue but what makes U so angry to talk to her that way?
    I think U should take a walk when U get that upset. Calling her names & degrading her is not healthy for U and for her & eventually she's gonna get tired of it and she's gonna leave. A woman can do everything for her man & love him & care for him but to put up with that treatment that U give her it's completely unacceptable! How U think that makes her feel, I'm sure Ur hurting her emotionally everytime U speak to her like that.
    Get some serious help if U continue to be that way.
