I am sorry you are having that kind of a day. My wife sent me a text using a pet name today too and it certainly does stir the pot to say. It was very hard but I sent her a HMD text this morning and she sent one back using a pet name then proceeded calling me three times until I answered. I don't think they know what that stuff does to us. I don't think they would be that unkind. I think they really are trying to be nice.
