Terms of endearment

Overheard the other morning, before getting up to face the day:

Her (in English): "I love you."

Him (also in English): "I love you, asshole."

[A pause as she lets this sink in a moment. Because THAT can't be right. Can it?]

Her (sounding a bit shrill this time): "Um... WHAT did you just say to me?"

Him (speaking a bit more distinctly): "I said: I love you also".

Her: "OHHH ... because I thought you said ASSHOLE.  I love you ASSHOLE."

Him, sighing : "My stupid accent."

Does anyone have any statistics on how often the language barrier in multi-cultural couples results in misunderstandings that lead to divorce? Because I suddenly realize how easily that could happen.

I think we can safely cross that one off our list of pet names.
