Pet Names?

 

Dear Mrs. Figgins:

My boyfriend Richard has a good sense of humor, which sometimes has a harsh edge.  He’s started calling me by the pet name “Flattie Annie”. 

It drives me crazy and is particularly hurtful in front of people.  The other evening he made a big joke of it in front of friends.   The guys laughed, the girls didn’t think it was funny and stuck up for me.  The whole thing was embarrassing, and I cried myself to sleep that night.

I’ve tried to ask  him nicely to please stop, but he continues.

He says it’s all in “good affectionate fun”  (his words), because I have small breasts.  He likes big breasted girls and has been pushing for me to have breast augmentation. 

We’re not even married yet, and I don’t think I want to have this surgery.  Plus I really can’t afford it.   I’m still going to college.   

What can I do to make him stop?

Annie

 

Dear Annie:

Since it’s all in “good affectionate fun”, just start calling him “Little Dick”. 

At least before you say the I DO’S – you’ll find out if this guy is worth the price of admission.
