I’ve seen a number of times where people insult their partners, and feel no remorse about it.
No matter what your partner has done to you, you shouldn’t go as low as insulting or trading abuses with your partner.
We all know that couple who always have misunderstanding and don’t fail to mete abuse on each other.
See some impact of those abuses:
1. HATRED TENDS TO INCREASE
Love cannot grow in the midst of abuses. Insult comes from the hearts, and it’s a sign of hatred. You cannot hurt someone you love with your words. And those words will tend to make hatred grow in your heart, and your partner’s heart as well.
2. RESPECT DIES
In relationships where insults have become the order of the day, it’ll be hard for respect to thrive. As a matter of fact, insults clearly show a lack of respect; you cannot abuse someone you truly respect. So when you start to abuse your partner, you tend to kill the respect that should exist in that relationship.
3. HIDDEN RESENTMENT
With insults come hidden resentment; no one loves to be insulted. Words hurt, and the pains from what you say could last for many years, and you wouldn’t even know it. The abuses you pour on your partner could cause a lot of damage that you don’t know about.
4. AGREEMENTS BECOME DIFFICULT
Partners who insult and abuse each other make it even more difficult to have an understanding relationship; with the animosity they have in their hearts, reaching a point of agreement will become more difficult.
5. EGOS ARE HURT
When you insult your partner, you do more than just hurt them with your words. Your partner’s ego could also be shattered as a result of the things you’ve said.
6. SELF-CONFIDENCE COULD EVEN DIE
When the ego of a person begins to die, the self-belief of that person could as well suffer. Abuses and insults could affect your partner psychologically and make your partner lose every belief that he/she once had. Those abuses could make your partner look into the mirror and see a failure, a dejected person, an unworthy person and all manner of images that’ll only kill that person’s esteem.
Abuses and insults shouldn’t be found in your relationship for any reason.
