I had the hardest time when my H started calling me by my name instead of "babe". I actually told him NOT to call me by my name because it was so ridiculous.
Hey TJT, I mentioned in my thread how hard it is for my W to not call me ‘hun,’ ‘babe,’ or ‘love,’ like she used to. The boys, especially OS, get that way more than I do. Every now and then, it slips through her lips, and it sounds / feels like nothing changed, except that everything did. Like you, I don’t especially like it when she calls me by my first name, but unlike you, I haven’t done what you did to your H. The flip side is that for her, she has stopped get called ‘hun,’ ‘babe’ or ‘sexy’ by me. Just not feeling it, and she doesn’t exactly deserve it right now.
I’m sorry for your sitch (read your intro), and it sounds like you deserve so much better. It will be there some day, like it will be for us all.
