There are occasions where my husband and I will argue and he will curse at me even though I have repeatedly asked him not to! I admit, we both used to do it at the beginning of our relationship, but I have really made an effort not to. He always apologizes, but eventually it happens again. What do you think?

I know from experience that I say things I don't mean when me and my man are fighting. I say things that I know will hurt him cause he has said something that has hurt me. So I want him to hurt like me. That's what it sounds like is happening with you and your husband. He is just really upset and not thinking before he speaks so things he doesn't mean come out first and then a couple hours later when he's had time to think about what he said he's sorry cause he really DIDN'T mean it.

Abuse is a general term for the use or treatment of something (person, thing, idea, etc.) that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person or thing, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) or is unlawful or wrongful. Its close synonyms are mistreatment and maltreatment. The word "misuse" has a more distant meaning of incorrect, uneducated use, not necessary harmful.
Abuse can be something as simple as damaging a piece of equipment through using it the wrong way, or as serious as severe maltreatment of a person. Abuse may be direct and overt, or may be disguised and covert.
VERBAL abuse: The use of FOUL language, obscenities or demeaning talk directed at another.

Cursing at you is verbal abuse and is disrespectful. Sounds like your husband needs to learn how to express himself without cursing and how to control his temper. Cursing can turn into physical abuse. Counciling will help you both learn to express yourselves without yelling and arguing and communicating without cursing. It's wonderful on your part you've cleaned up your vocabulary.

The only solution is to stop arguing. You both need to learn to communicate and discuss things without having it escalate into an argument. Get some marital counseling and focus on how to resolve differences. Learn to dicuss rather than fight. It's not just his problem, if you're arguing with him, you're contributing to it as well.

try explaining to him how you feel when he curses at you. dont just say that it bothers you or that it makes you upset.... give him time to change, but if after a couple of months, there is no change, it may be time to go to counseling...

No, i dont think it is.
Everyone curses sometimes, some just curse more easily than others.
