People who engage in name calling are not necessarily bad people. Name calling can be also a tool used to deal with one's anger without lashing out. It can be said that behind every angry insult lies an unmet need. Therefore, the right way for partners to stop the name calling is to look inside themselves and find the unmet needs that are causing the frustration. Once these needs are identified they can be communicated amongst the partners and fulfilled.
Communication in the relationship is a must-have tool in order to end the verbal abuse that sometimes can occur. The way the partners communicate their feelings and needs can make or break the relationship. In order for the relationship to succeed both partners need to take responsibility for their own feelings, needs, wants, and to communicate them in a clear way to their significant other. Sometimes it can be easier to just blame your partner for your unexpressed bad feelings, but in the end, this will potentially ruin your otherwise functioning relationship.
