I suppose you're right. Each situation does come with it's own set of qualifications, so I guess there isn't really any ultimate thing that should never be said. However, saying certain things to your SO would indicate a serious problem in your relationship, and I would wonder just how healthy the relationship is.

Also the problem is, if you make a slip and say something that you both believe neither of you should say, then does that mean that your s.o. would feel justified in doing something worse to you in return? And would you let them do that because you feel guilty about what you said? Would you not notice if you started harbouring negative feelings towards them because of this?

No, I would lose a lot of respect for a person if they resorted to "an eye for an eye." That's a pretty immature thing to do, and I try to avoid dating those people. I would never do that to my SO if she slipped up and said something that hurt me, and I would hope that she wouldn't either.
