Foul or offensive language?

To be fair, a buttload is an actual unit of measurement.

A person with me last week saw something remarkable, and exclaimed “My Lord!”. I challenged him on that because I knew him well and he shouldn’t say that. Generally I would ignore swearing.

This makes sense. I think our reaction should depend on the context and the relationship. When you are trying to help a needy person, one often should avoid anything that seems judgmental. If you are in a dicipling relationship, then instruction in this matter may be beneficial.

It could be worse, you could be grouped into a significant number of more than 13 stones.

2025

i’m in a bad situation with this.
i’ve been coping with it (with a loved one) for years+years, no progress.

it’s affecting my health, and i know it. the cardiologists have asked me, “what’s going on, what’s troubling you?”
i just look at them in silence. i know. but what can be done? what more can be tried?

swearing is just part of it. it’s a big part. there’s a lot of verbal abuse and battering. swearing is the principle vehicle.

this person has volunteered questions a couple of times about a demon. i ignored, or discounted. disbelief.
more recently i’ve wondered if this could be. i’ve read a little about it.

the cost of this affects everyone involved. sin affects everyone it shouldn’t.

sin isn’t isolated. there is a ripple effect of harm.

i have sought professional help. from a number of good places. short of physical or sexual abuse, nothing.
it’s crazy how impossible it is to get help. because of privacy laws, this person must ask for help. it has not happened. over many years with every opportunity at hand. nothing.

i’ve thought, if it’s not criminal, it is insane.

it makes me wonder how many others may have similar “impossible” situations? i’m pretty sure there are many.

maybe the saddest thing for me is knowing how this life of anger was wasted, so many years, lost to anger and contempt.
that’s it? that’s what you chose for your whole life? incomprehensible.

in this case, i believe it’s about anger. the hallmark signature is profanity.

Anger is a strange thing

i believe this is way beyond the OP.
i hope it’s not common.

wow temporal1 what a situation. I hope you can solve this situation with your love one
