How do you know when enough is enough?

I’ve been in a relationship on and off for 3yrs. We made a decision to work on things when he came back from deployment and things have been getting better but the arguments have been getting worse. Idk if this is normal like I get marriage isn’t easy but arguments this bad is that normal? We’ve both said some pretty mean things to each other every time we argue but I tell him every time to not call me out of my name and he continues to do so every argument. I just don’t know what to do.

What do you mean to not call you out of your name like call you bitch or something I’m just trying to to understand what you are saying

Bad arguments are normal. What's important is how you argue and how you resolve. Have clear boundaries about what you consider OK when you're arguing and what you need to do when one of you crosses the boundary. And learn to come back together with kindness even if you didn't get to an agreement. Remember, boundaries aren't about punishment, they're about what you will do to stay healthy and collected.

@Sydney yes calling me a bitch and just really nasty things which I try to stay away from. I get we both have different communication styles so I’d rather wait to have conversations but he’d rather talk right away and because of that it always resorts to really bad arguments

Well what does he say when you say if we are going to continue this conversation we will refrain from name calling and we will talk it out and use soft voices both and you will take turns talking it seems like he never really learned how to communicate when it come to him being angry so you both can have a civilized conversation and communicate and make it work for you if he can’t control himself he needs to learn to ground himself from being overly angry and his aggressive language isn’t appreciated and hurtful and if siting down and talking with like coffee or tea doesn’t work you might need to have a 3rd party help you out like a couples counselor
