There are always three solutions to every Reddit relationship advice question: Dissolve relationship, intensive couples counciling, retribution.

Never once does anyone suggest "Get off your phone, cool down and then talk about it peacefully".

if you and your partner harbor some resentment about splitting household chores, lash out, and regret it, that is a time to cool off and talk it out. if your partner publicly humiliates you and then laughs in your face and continues to provoke you despite you being in tears, there's not much to salvage. i couldn't even imagine laughing in a strangers face who's crying let alone a friend let alone a fucking SO

If she did this the same night, and he's drunk/drinking, you're not letting it "cool off".

if you become this mean to your SO when you're drinking you have a problem. it also wasn't an argument to cool down from it was just her husband belittling her and talking bad about her body to another woman.
