Really, my main off-limits language isn't about what words he uses, but how he uses them. Nothing's that bad if you can discuss it and work it out and everyone apologizes for being unnecessarily mean or whatever. When it's an issue? When there's a pattern of behavior that is negatively affecting your partner and you're not willing to adjust that pattern. It wasn't that Q was calling me stupid, it wasn't the WORD, so much as the implied attitude that went with it. It was disrespectful on a regular basis, so that is why I brought it up. I don't generally worry about particular statements past the argument unless they're a recurring theme.
