Men of the OT: Is there anything your wife calls you that you absolutely hate?

My husband doesn’t care if I call him a nickname based on his name, or something generic like honey, sweetie, babe, baby, or even shite weasel. He draws the line at “dude”. That is legit his hard line in the sand.

I don’t get it, he says “dude” is more disrespectful than anything else I call him. Is this weird, or do y’all feel the same? What’s your line in the nickname sand coming from your wife?

"Tiny Dick."



And, yes, girls saying, "Dude" is more cringe than anything.

Ooh, ok, I’m an Xer, so that never occurred to me. We just called everyone “dude” back in my day.

Sissy Boy. I don't think it is nice to call me that.

When my wife gets in a mood, she’ll call me “bro”.

My wife never calls me dude, but anyone calling me that annoys the shite out of me for some reason. I absolutely hate it.

I get no respect I tell ya. No respect at all. Like my wife loves to talk after sex, you know, so she’ll call me from her hotel room.

“Bro” gets me double secret probation, so I cut that one out many years ago. But I can’t help “dude”; it’s just such a part of my personal vernacular to refer to everyone regardless of gender for decades that it just slips out.

Looks like I’ma have to do some work to get with the times.

I’m not married but whenever chicks I was seeing referred to me as dude it was in a situation they were reducing the extent of our relationship

Honestly I have no clue what my wife calls me. She just says words and based on the inflection I can determine if she’s wanting my attention or not. Usually she’s just mad about some lululemon shite or something.

Ok, this makes sense. I guess “dude” could be seen as reductionist. I just see it as a gender neutral term, apparently that is not the case. It’s funny that “dude” is worse than “shite weasel”, but here we are.

So… you married a random woman for no reason? I’ma press X to doubt. You’re smarter than that (and no doubt your wife is as well).
