Say what you will but mutual respect is the foundation of any lasting healthy relationship. It is unacceptable for couples to resort to verbal abuse or derogatory names when communicating, especially when they are arguing. If a man engages in verbal abuse towards the woman he is dating, it is crucial for her to prioritize her self-worth and emotional safety. Choosing to leave a toxic relationship is a way to assert one’s personal boundaries.
A lot of women on X have been reiterating this idea after a screenshot from a video went viral which read, “When the word ‘b*tch’ slips out during an argument and you realize he isn’t your soulmate after all.” A user shared this screenshot and wrote, “The moment a man calls you a bitch you need to break up with him.”

Responding to this post, several others stressed the idea that if a man uses derogatory names at a woman or appears to be even slightly threatening, thereby compromising the safety of a woman, the woman should leave immediately and call it quits. Because, as was pointed out by many, being respectful in a relationship and not using verbal profanity at your partner even when you’re engaged in an argument is very easy. Holding back from disrespecting your partner in any way is actually very simple.
In every relationship, there has to be mutual respect and certain boundaries that one just cannot cross.
the second a man screams at you/ calls you derogatory names /throws something or punches anything- leave. https://t.co/Hub9mRJfbK

hot take but I don't think men should be saying bitch at ALL, especially if it's directed at women. it's just so gross coming from them because you know damn well they're always using it misogynistically https://t.co/t2CCKxgoD1

my biggest red flag is partners abusing each other in relationships. it just shouldn't happen, there is no excuse for it, you shouldn't hold that level of malice in your heart for someone you are supposed to love. just leave. https://t.co/oWnZNR7RvY

If a man refers to any woman as a bitch, you need to break up with him immediately https://t.co/deVWsG5eXs

dating someone for 7 months who hasn’t even gotten frustrated with me, let alone called me names/ yelled at me/thrown stuff has taught me this. it’s truly SO easy to be kind to your partner if you’re a decent person and respect them https://t.co/iemtIk2SQU

funny because men under this post are like “what about you calling him names??” if you cannot argue while maintaining love and compassion for the person you’re with then you don’t need to be in that relationship https://t.co/8Bt1UMwRu7

there are men who won’t call you any derogatory names even when they are upset. my man is one of them. he has never so much raised his voice at me. never settle. a man who is mean to you, is not a good man. https://t.co/8PvoI2ih3j

The moment a man calls you ANYTHING even remotely offensive, its time to leave. https://t.co/3aF6yGmfff

I been saying this and the offensiveness of bitch as a slur is still up for debate but as soon as a man uses it, his intention is to degrade women. Like when men are angry that always start calling people ‘bitch’ https://t.co/2nGznPENUD

Me and my husband curse sometimes. But we have a strict rule that we do not curse at each other. Not even in jokes. It’s good for us, it maintains respect and it transfers during arguments https://t.co/ESYe1uwoDr

No one should endure mistreatment. Don’t you agree?
