I had this boyfriend for awhile who would swear in a loud voice over the
littlest things (often in public), and sometimes at the kids. He would
justify doing it by saying it was normal, and that I was being too
sensitive. We were in a treelot and he swore <F@#^> very loudly over
something very small. I ended up leaving him over it. Swearing can be an
insensitive, aggressive expression of anger.
