Q: For the divorced folks: Do you or your Ex still call each other by some sort of nickname?
Question For the Divorced Folks
Do any of you all still call your ex-husband or ex-wife by a nickname that you called them when you were married? Not necessarily a lovey-dovey nickname, but a shortened version of their name or some other form of nickname?? Does your Ex call you by any such nickname?
Eg.
Jim - you call him Jimbo
Gabriella - you call her Gabby
Roberto - you call him Robbie
Antoinette - you call her Annie
OR
he has reddish-brown skin, so you call him Reddo
her high-school nickname was Candy, and you still call her that
he's from Palo Alto, so you call him Palito
she's from France, so you call her Frenchie
Also, WHY do you think you use those names?
For those of you that do, do you consider yourself "friends" with the Ex? And what does this type of "friendship" mean to you? (e.g. Does that person have your back in a tight situation? If you needed money or someone to talk to you could go to them? Or just someone you're cordial with regularly etc.?)
I'm just wondering...

Yup, but I can't say his nickname on here. It would get booted for sure! lol
Yes bm calls my dh his
Yes bm calls my dh his childhood nick name that only his mom and sisters call him. :sick: He HATES it and has told her so but she said "I'll NEVER stop calling you that it is my right". :jawdrop:

If I were your DH I would would have some fun with retailiating against BM over her use of his childhood nick name. She obviously does it to irritate him. He should start refering to BM by some extremely unflattering physical trait that only he and anyone else who has been intimate with her would recognize.
Whatever applies.
When she bitches about it he can always apply with "I'll NEVER stop calling you that, it is my right and .... it is the truth!"

The most endearing pet name I
The most endearing pet name I have ever had for my ex is 'dick-head'
And before you say it, no, his real name isn't Richard, Rick, Dick or Head.
Fearfully immature, but hey, its helps one make it through the day.
Dick Head seems to be a
Dick Head seems to be a favorite nick name that women refer to the X as.
That is my SS's SpermIdiots name, or at least the one that my wife uses most frequently when she is referring to .... well .... Dick head.
I pretty much don't refer to my XW at all. We had no children and have had nothing to with each other and no contact for more than 17yrs. We have been divorced for 20.
However, when I am recounting stories about her or our marriage I refer to her by her name or as "The IceQueen". She was as frigid as the Antarctic so the name is appropriate.
DH calls BM a shortened
DH calls BM a shortened version of her name. Irritates me as if implies a sense of intimacy (to me anyway).
my DH does that too and I
my DH does that too and I used to get irritated too, but I guess that's what EVERYBODY calls her... that is even what she has ner name listed as on FB. Most often though he refers to her as skank, bitch, miss wonderful, fuck face, or a word that I shall not repeat.
I refer to my exH as "the idiot" but my DH came up with a great one the other day, just off the top of his head.... he says "Oh there's the douche rocket" lol I might keep that one!
My Dh used to do this as well
My Dh used to do this as well called her a shortened version - and when she called she would call herself by her full name but then one day he did something nice for her and she called and used the nickname and I exploded and told him if you ever do anything nice for her again (he tried to hide it from me) and try to keep it hidden you will be by yourself - I was so pissed because when he did that then she felt like she could go by her nickname and I was like no way - so he stopped the nickname and never did anything really nice again - (and this was for her not for SS - the nice thing). There was a reason they were not longer together she cheated and she lost the right for him to be helping her or doing anything nice for her again and I did not like how familiar they got with each other when using her nickname - he has never done it again - and I know I check all of his correspondence and phone messages.
EH and I still call each
EH and I still call each other by nicknames. NO OFFENSE to anyone who is gay but I've always called him fag and he's called me sh!thead. I call him and automatically say Hey fag, whatcha doing.
We are very good friends and yes he'd have my back and I'd have his. We've been around each other too long not to. It's sooooooo much easier this way.
This is funny! Thanks for
This is funny! Thanks for the laugh!!
I don't have an ex husband
I don't have an ex husband and BM and DH were never married but I did want to put my personal tick on here. When DH and BM used to talk on the phone the way they would both introduce themselves was "Hey, it's Me." Which, for someone he dated for a month I thought was far too informal....they rarely talk on the phone anymore, so i'm not sure if that's still the case, but i remember the last time he called and left her a message and said the hey it's me, blah blah blah shit I told him that BM has a name and to try using it. I don't know why it bothered me so much but it did. I guess I fealt that as his wife and him as my husband we can do that with each other because well who else would it be? But, with them I think that it shouldn't be that casual.
I don't have a nickname for
I don't have a nickname for my ex, I just call him by his first name. I think he just calls me a shortned version of my name. We are still good friends. He is custodial parent and I really appreciate everything he does as a parent.
My DH has a few nicknames for BM that he says behind her back LOL... but not to her face. He has told me that he wishes that she would die... and so I would say that they are less then even cordial friends. SHe is one of the meanest people I have ever come in contact with.
Snowflake, As rare as your
Snowflake,
As rare as your situation with your XH is it is inspiring and is the way it should be IMHO.
Unfortunatley very few former couples are both mature enough to have the relationship that you and XH have.
Thanks for your story.
I have no reason to be in
I have no reason to be in contact with my ex, so I don't really call him anything. If I'm talking to someone else about him I just refer to him as "my ex" or by his name.

dh calls ex/Bm "The b*tch" or
dh calls ex/Bm "The b*tch" or "The c*nt'...I dont really like it but i am not going to tell him to stop. doesnt do it in front of the kids...then it's just your mom....I also dont like it when they call and don't introduce themselves...not sure why..but like poster above it bugs me when they are like "it's me"; although i can see how it sounds silly to be like hello this is so and so when they know who it is already......good news is that we dont deal w/this much. DH would rather walk on hot coals then speak to her.
You mean a name you'd say to
You mean a name you'd say to their face?
DH calls BM by her preferred name to her face (K*****) since she hates her given name. (D******) He used to call SD14 "D Junior" when she got irritatingly like her mom, but she's quit that.
Between us, we call BM bitchface - he called me last night and said, all chipper, 'Oh hey, I talked to bitchface tonight, and there was no drama!" which was surprising because he made her cry last time he talked to her.
Yes. My ex is still The
Yes. My ex is still The Asshole.
