Is getting angry at something my boyfriend's ex used to call him insane?

[Anonymous]

I call my partner papi or daddy depending on the day. It puts me off whenever I find out that their ex girlfriends called them that too. Makes it feel like it isn't as sentimental though I know that of course these names are common but still... being rational is the last thing I'm worried about💀

Yes

No

Yes but it's common

I met this woman once; she was all about nick names or pet names. She really wanted me to come up with a pet name for her. But let me honest she was 42, single and never married. I was 45 and divorced. I forget exactly what the pet's name I came up with were, but I came up with three and each one she says said NO, don't call me that name.

That was name my dad called me, or that was name my ex-boyfriend called me... and so on. So, she just didn't like the name, and I was like well all the good and cute ones were taken. Her name was Rozanne. But calling her Roz, made feel like I was talking to a waitress. Rozy was no go for her, zanni was a no go, Rose and Rosey were no goes, I could not call her Zan, because her girlfriends called her Zan.

I just called her babe, lover or my heart. It was like stupid as shit honestly. But she was all about pet names, and she hated her real name.

Why are you concerned about anything about his ex? She is past history. He has you now. That's what's important. Cherish him, not his past.

I think the fact you have a very obvious daddy issue is more of a concern than the fact that his ex used to call him the same name & obviously have daddy issues too.

I mean these "daddy" issue relationships are statistically not healthy and your extreme insecurity about something as irrelevant as a common as dust "nick" is obvious of that.

Why call him daddy anyways that is the weirdest nickname.. I hate when guys ask me to call them that lol I will if they like it but not on my own accord.. its the porn habits coming out lol

[Drumlin2001]

Not sure why you want to imagine him as your daddy.
Who cares what his ex called him, I'm sure he has a few names for him now too. Focus in your own life

Thats... ridiculous. And if it was your dude asking, I'd be saying he should run faster than the gingerbread man.

Not insane but it’s not his fault she used to call him that before you guys even knew each other

[strateguy632]

change the nickname because you are reminding him.

[iseekpinetrees]

Why do you care at all about his exs? Keep the past in the past.

Getting angry isn't rational in this situation but being upset does make sense. As long as it isn't directed at anyone.

Well said

You chose to call him something and his ex had the same idea. It was a decision you two both made for the same guy.
