Swearing

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

Do you swear? Does your bf/significant other swear? If so, does it bother you? If so, how do you deal with it...like if it is a slip up and they don't usually do it...just sometimes?

 

[keyz]

No, I don't. However, I'm straightforward at times.. I will tell it how it is. So occassionally a "bad" word suits the context of the conversation.

I've never heard my girlfriend say a "bad" word.

I think what bothers me more than anything if I hear God's name being misused. I'd rather hear you cuss up a storm than to take God's name in vain.

 

[Oblivious]

Yes (but rarely) / Yes

 

[PastorofMuppets]

i used to have a real problem with swearing.
I dont slip up much any more
but as long as i dont take the Lords name in vain
i really feel its mostly harmless
they are just words, its the emotions behind them that could be sinful/disrespectful

I try not to say things that are disrespectful, especially to my wife.
but im not perfect

 

[Amy47]

Nope neither of us feel that it's appropriate, however we used to swear in high school. But we've passed that stage.

 

[ChildOfGod20]

no neither of us do

I used to never swear, but then I some how got a very filthy mouth. Now I am slowly losing it. One thing I try to never do is take the Lords name in vain.

She never swears and yells at me when I do.

I hope to brake my habit soon... I have already reduced it quite a bit, but I do slip, so I am not there yet...

 

[adamas]

yes we both do. . .sadly. I used to be real bad about it up untill about a year or so ago but i've cut back alot sense then and now it only slips when im really stressed / angery and i never use the Lords name. She never uses the lords name either but she uses more language than i do. . .BUT she recently rededicated her life and she's starting to cut back too and appologizes alot when it does slip but she has alot of not-so-christlike friends who dont help the situation any but she seems to be working on that too. . .but hopefully i'll be ably to put a no/no on a Q like this soon!

 

[WhenFinallySetFree777]

We both do on occasion, but it's not like we curse like foul-mouthed scurvy pirates or any some such.

(Argh.)

 

[Maeyken]

neither of us do
it bugs me when other people do

 

[lozzie]

I try not to.. but I do occaisionally...

I swear less now that I'm not around friend in highschool who said stuff frequently... I've never been a HUGE user of profanities... but when you hear people swear enough it leaks to your subconsious reflexes - which would be more why i swore alot more during my school years than i do now.

tbh, yes we both swear, it feels so normal tho. We dont swear in front of parents etc, n even wen we do its wen we're annoyed at something (never each other we rarely argue)

It doesnt really bother us

the only word we do feel uncomfortable with is the f word

 

[Princess Leia]

We've slipped up once or twice when we've been really angry, but nothing too bad. I don't mind it if it's not a constant thing, and if it's not taking the Lord's name in vain. I use an occasional bad word when things or people make me really upset.

 

[KristianJ]

My record with profanity's not too bad - I do slip up occasionally when I feel frustrated or angry, but generally I'm clean with my speech, and I'm not too taken aback if Lauren was to say something coarse.

 

[melandshanetria]

Nope, neither of us do.

 

[Quantum_Man]

Neither of us swear.

 

[adnilgnav]

I would say we both swear.. We don't swear as much but we do.

 

[Chajara]

I don't. My boyfriend does, however, if he drops the F-Bomb or something equally offensive he'll either get a swat or a death glare, and he usually either apologizes or attempts to explain why the situation warranted such strong language.

 

[awesome liver]

what's so bad about swearing? it's a perfectly normal thing all around the world except for here. not only are we sexual prudes but also what comes out of our mouths.

 

[ahmunmun]

I honestly can't stand being with a guy (whether it's my boyfriend or just a friend) who swears, not even once in awhile. I personally find those words really sick and when I hear it, I feel like it hurts my innocent ears. ^^

To answer your question, I cannot date a guy who swears. Obviously, I don't swear. I've been a Christian since I was six so I've always been taught that swearing is wrong. I might have the swearing problem if I hadn't become a Christian early though.
