As for the wife and her husband: I get that it was supposed to be humor, but I really was turned off by how the husband seemed nice enough and the wife hit him (lightly, in a joking manner, but still) and belittled him. Even under the guise of joking, that's not something I enjoy very much.

OP, I don't mean to denigrate you, and I don't think less of you, but I think you must not be familiar with couples. You must not watch any, or have seen many, because light teasing and lightly hitting each other is so normal and completely healthy. It's a sign of trust and love that two people are comfortable and secure enough with each other they can tease without hurting. The husband did not seem hurt.

Calling it abusive is frankly insulting to many healthy, loving couples out there, as well as victims of actual abuse.

I agree, Howl's Moving Castle is poorly paced and poorly developed. The world is interesting, the design is interesting, but I think everything else was done subpar to his other works.

I've only ever seen teenagers or fairly young people tease each other through insults, not older people. We do joke around and tease each other in my family, and my parents do it too, but calling the other "useless" and such, like the couple in the movie, strike me as pushing that line, and I doubt either of my parents or other couples I've seen would ever dare tell something like that to the other, even in jest.

You're probably right, though. I probably haven't met the couples that do that without using it to hurt each other.

Or it might even be a cultural thing. Or maybe it's just my family and other people I've spent time around. I don't know.

it's not just the words but the way they're said and the way the other person react to it

when my father calls my mother useless, it's usually in anger and in reaction to something she did "wrong"

this is not good

the film couple seem to be more good-hearted about it

- you useless lout, go fill the water bucket ♥

- yes my bossy darling ♥ ♥

this is good
