Am I in an emotionally abusive relationship?
When we are in a heated argument he will always call me names.. I’m getting really sick of it. It’s extremely immature and it gets our conversations nowhere
I’ve told him to stop the name calling if he wants to have a proper conversation and he always apologises and admits it’s wrong but says he will “try and stop it” but sometimes it slips even if he never means it.
I feel like if he respected me it would never slip in the first place
He doesn’t control me or my money or isolate me from family or yell / throw things and never hit etc
I never really thought of it as abuse before reading some other posts on this app
Can someone help me with some other signs to look out for?

thank you this makes me feel better..
I feel the name calling isn’t constant - we don’t fight that often either but I have noticed that he generally calls people names even on the road and just cusses a lot
He even calls himself a d**khead at times
I don’t feel there is any coercive control or an abusive pattern - I’ve always trusted him to support me
But I feel like it’s in his character with the swearing - I’ve told him how I feel about it and he’s said he will try his best to change but it’s hard to change a character flaw that has been there for a long time, even pre-me
