I suppose it is the nature of my own relationship that there are very few things we say that are inexcusable. We may say some mean things (though very rarely) but we both recognize (given time to cool down) that there was probably something else going on and that the words, while shitty, are excusable.
That said, there are ways of imparting meaning that do not have to be horrible. To use Astro's example, "I can do better than you" is a shitty thing to say. If she truly feels this way she should find someone better. On the other hand, if she is just disappointed by you, that is fixable. It seems to me, as a partner in a relationship this should be a time to exhort you better yourself.
