I know this isn't a nice thing to say but the guy sounds to me like he has potential for turning into your classic wife-beater.
Any man who calls you what I THINK he called you has a temper that he cannot or will not control.
Those ugly words are great big red flags warning you away from a dangerous situation. You shouldn't ignore them.The wife-beater does just what your ex is doing -
after using her for a punching bag, he goes away and cools off. Then when he sees her packing up to leave, he suddenly becomes terribly remorseful:
he didn't mean it, he's so sorry, it will never happen again, he'll die without her...Except, of course, it DOES happen again - and again and again, if the woman keeps forgiving him.
Wherever I worked in a hospital setting, I saw this kind of thing too much. It's appalling.So proceed with extreme caution...
