    I'm curious. Mine just used it in a joking way with a kind of serious tone. Usually I can take a joke well, but this one I didn't find funny.

    I voted "Yes, as a joke" but we say "britch" as our joking word so I'm not sure if that counts.

    He only said it once in an argument (almost two years ago) and apologized right after. He's never said it again (:

    we have said it to each other when we are being really silly and joking around but not very often.

    the only time hes ever said it out of anger was when he yelled at me "stop acting like such a bitch!"  I replied that I couldnt believe he would call me that and he said "I didnt call you a B, I said your ACTING like one!" lol 

    It kinda made me mad at the time but hes not ever said it to me since.

    I dont think so. Not that I can remember (I have a horrible memory). I cannot picture DH ever calling me that so I really doubt it...

    I get on his case if he ever calls anyone a bitch. He's better than that. I am super okay with swearing in general, though.

    Only as a joke. We're very sarcastic people who pretend bicker, so when we're trading mocking barbs, we throw out a few insults here and there. I go with "asshole" or "douche", he uses "bitch". It's all in good fun, we each know the other doesn't mean anything by it.

    As a joke, yes. But he's gotten the death stare the few times he's said it and he immediately takes it back. He's actually never, ever called me a name during an argument.

    He did it in an argument, but only after I called him an a$$hole. It hurt my feelings and that made me think that me calling him what I did probably hurt his feelings, so I don't think it's happened since then.

    Sometimes when he's moody I'll call him a bitch, but in a joking tone and he doesn't take offense.

    It's happened a few times in the 11 years we have been together during very heated arguments, but never when it wasn't deserved or I had said something as equally offensive.

    Hm well I picked yes, but like some have said he says it like 'you're being a bitch' or 'stop acting like a bitch' so I guess he's never said I AM one. We use biznatch when we're joking, haha. When he's being serious though, I don't really care or get offended by it because he only uses it when I really am acting that way. So meh, I don't care.

    DH has never called me that, but he has blurted other words. I don't condone it but he uses a bad word in front of every other word. He talks like that with his friends and I just give him the evil eye and remind him I'm not one of his buddies.

    Yes, in an argument, and I really didn't care.  He has a nasty temper that he's still learning to really control, and I'd rather he call names than punch a wall or something.  As least name calling doesn't require a trip to Home Depot later :)  I have that same kind of temper, so I get it- heat of the moment, you're not really thinking, it just pops out.  I've said some pretty bad things too.  We also generally curse like sailors, so I guess it just generally wouldn't have the same sting to either of us as to someone who doesn't curse so much.

     Countless times as a joke and a handful during arguments. It's never not deserved though. He won't hesitate to call me out if I'm being one.

    No way. Not during a fight. Name-slinging does nothing because it isn't constructive, and it's abusive.

    Both of us have been seeing counselors long before we met eachother for different reasons, but one thing we've gleaned from the sessions over the years has been effective communication skills.

    Ummmm....he's never called me a b*tch...But he has said in an argument that I was being bitchy. Maybe once or twice he has said I was acting like a bitch. He's never flat out just said ,"you're a bitch". 

    Not claiming innocence on this end lol.

    We started dating when I was 17 and I honestly think it was just kind of a maturity thing in our situation. As we mature we know and realize there are better more direct ways of addressing and argument.

    Yes as a joke - but when we were BOTH joking, which I think makes it okay. I've called him one too. We tease each other but only when we can tell we're both teasing. I have never felt hurt by it.

    No, I don't recall him calling me that.  He rarely curses, though.  However, I do use the term "beyotch" every so often in a funny manner (making fun of it's use).

    I call him a bitch more than he calls me one...which is like never, except when joking as in "you're being a little bitch". I have a pretty foul mouth anyways. I don't think it's the word but really the intention behind it. A couple times (literally like 2 times in 8 years) he's said "God, stop being such a bitch", and I gotta say he was totally right. Sometimes, I'm a bitch.

    Yes, in the heat of an argument. He apologized afterwards, and honestly, he wasn't the only one at fault because when he said it I had just finished calling him a dipshit...

    oh, marriage.

    Nope, never.  Mind you, the worst swear word I've ever heard him say is CRAP.  I really don't think name-calling is ever acceptable even as a joke (at least it isn't for us) and that the ability to control your temper, walk away and communicate properly reigns supreme.  Name-calling and yelling or screaming at eachother is not productive in the least little bit and is generally a symptom of several issues having been left unattended to over the course of weeks or months.

    As a joke, yes, because I call him one sometimes. As in, "stop being a little bitch." <-- Joke. No big deal, really. I probably say it more than him....Did I mention I have no filter and swear like a sailor when I drive? You can't tell based off of internet me...lol.

    If either of us were uncomfortable with it, we wouldn't do it. Also, twice during arguments. But trust me, it was well-deserved. And it wasn't "Bitch!" It was more, "You're acting like such a bitch." <-- And he was right. Just like when I told him he was being an ass.

    We are the kind of couple that are very laid back, sarcastic and joke around all the time. We always throw in those words joking around... usually if he calls me a bitch kidding around I reply back, "that's Queen B to you" lol... it's all in fun between us. When we do argue we never use those kinds of words we just talk loud and move our hands alot (portuguese hehe)

    No, NEVER! Not even as a joke. He has never called me any name before like that, ever & we have been together for more than 5 years!

    A Bitch is a dog. I am in no way a dog. If I am being pissy or moody my husband will tell me that. Or ask me why I am being hateful or something along those lines but he would never say "Why are you being a bitch?" Or "You are acting like a bitch." He just wouldn't.

    Women should be treated with respect as should men. I would never call my husband a son-of-a-bitch or anything like that.

    Never, ever, ever.  Not as a joke, not in a disagreement... never.  I can't imagine him even saying it.  He rarely curses. If I am being moody, I do my best not to take it out on him... he has never called me any name.

    He's called my old VW names when he had to constantly work on it... it's the only time I've heard him curse and get really frustrated. That car was a bitch.

    We are both intensely sarcastic and uncouth.  Terribly foul mouthed.

    But, no. 

    We have always respected the boundary of calling each other names like that. 

     

    IMO, no matter how real you keep it in your relationship-your partner should get extra special treatment.

    I don't think ever.  He has said I was acting like a brat in a fight before, that kinda sucked.  We only say bitch if we're joking around, but not even to each other, just outloud.

    Yea, as in quit being such a bitch in an arguement.  F-you was probably thrown in there too.  But it doesnt really bother me in the head of that one or two fights in the last 4 years.  I did my fair share of insults at the time also so its fair game to me.

    I curse like a drunken sailor, and we both curse plenty in casual conversation/jokes, but we never ever use curses to describe each other in anything other than the most joking playful way--never ever in a fight. The only time I can imagine him calling me a bitch is when I say I feel bad over having done something that wasn't actually that bad and he will sarcastically say 'oh yeah, you were suuuuuch a bitch!' lol
