That is actually one of the issues I have with my W. She does swear a lot, and in front of the kids (particularly while driving), and I think it is getting worse.
The swearing is most likely a rebellion for Mrs. Think - just guessing. I did it, too, and I KNOW mine was full blown rebellion.

You know, I wonder how prevalent this is... I thought it was insignificant in the grand-scheme-of-things, but W NEVER used to swear... Now? It isn't a rare occurrence at all...

Must be in the script they hand out when you report to WASCentral, because Herself has said the F more in the past 5 months than in the 22 years I've known her combined.
Uh...me too! I thought that was just her frustration, but her language has deteriorated some. Used to be I was the one using bad language, now that (and many other things) seems to have flipped.
the increased frequency of swearing & overall harsh attitude is the by-product of what happens when the WAW loses respect & attraction for their husband. They are no longer attracted to their husbands and treat them harshly to get rid of them & scare them and they do it because it works.

Not sure that's the case as the swearing, at least in my case, is rarely directed at me. It's, as others seem to have said, directed at other drivers or even the kids or a story about the day's happening. It seems more of a general rebellion than anything else. It certainly ain't scary. In fact, I've often caught myself laughing (and tried to hide that from the kids) when she does it because it's so out-of-character... It's almost like the kid who is trying to be cool by swearing but comes across as anything but.

Ok, that was me too. But there is more to it and I often wonder what "it" is. In my sitch, that was me. I was no longer attracted to H. But, he was spending all our money, took no responsibility, blamed me for everything, was out all the time, exaggerated and lied publicly and privately compared us to people who had about a million times more money than us and he created total chaos when he was home (maybe ADD). My "love" for him was not enough to keep me attracted.
But, I am so able to be attracted to him and do want him (just not all that other stuff, yikes)...
Ok, point being that I didn't really want him to leave me, I wanted him to be present and stable and as coach would say, to "lead."
So, if anything will stand a chance of getting a WAW out of the fog and the hostility and repelling, I bet it is doing just the above. And if not, woohoo for the next lucky lady.
and I KNOW mine was full blown rebellion.
