My girlfriend and I have a great relationship and have had no problem with swearing at each other in the past. We don't do it mean spiritedly, we do it lovingly.

If I have something to show he, I'll often say, "get over here bitch" or if we're watching a movie and she keeps talking I'll say "shut the fuck up I'm trying to pay attention".

She does the exact same things back to me and we've never had any issues insulting each other. When we met we were part of the same friend group, and the entire group did stuff like this. That's where it came from.

The other night she was introducing me to some new friends. We were at a restaurant and I wanted to try her food. She wouldn't let me, and I said, "don't be a bitch let me have some". She burst out crying and made a huge scene of it.

I was extremely confused because normally she'd say something along the lines of, "fuck off I'm hungry stop being an idiot."

She said it was because she was around new friends, but we never had issues swearing at each other in front of friends before.
