I mean…you definitely don’t have to ask your dad’s permission for the animal nickname. But frankly, when my bf calls me “mija” like my mom does it creeps me out haha. And it’s all fun and games until...

(Edit: most people can’t even hear the difference between the 2 pronunciations of my name.)

Nothing too serious going on here, but… I have the same name as my boyfriend’s sister. The spelling is the same, but my family has always pronounced it differently due to region (think “A-nna” vs....

First…I think its weird you and sis have the same nick name…. I mean your names are the same sure but surely he can get more creative than that for someone he likes romantically?? Second, tell him to...

This problem is stupid in my opinion. He is your boyfriend, probably your lover and a very important part of your life. I would think that you fill those same role in his life. Therefore, he can stop...

If he actually cannot pronounce it (or hear that he is pronouncing it incorrectly), then he cannot pronounce it. It is what it is. (I have a maiden name that is near impossible to pronounce correctly,...

I am another one that votes that your boyfriend needs to pronounce your name as closely to how it’s supposed to be pronounced as possible. If your name contains sounds that are not native to English,...

If nobody except your family can pronounce your name correctly, I think it’s unrealistic to expect your boyfriend to be able to. Some people can’t hear certain sounds if they didn’t grow up hearing...

If you think your boyfriend IS able to pronounce your name correctly and he just doesn’t think of doing it right, then yeah, it’s worth teaching him. However if there’s a chance he will never be able...

I vote that the BF sucks it up and learns to pronounce it correctly. I always liked my SO to call by my full name instead of an abbreviation (for example, “d2” as opposed to “d”). And I never liked...

*laugh* Okay. I’m a little on the outside of this. I wasn’t really looking to get married a 3rd time. We just sort of started discussing it. And decided to do it. Saturday night, as we were discussing...

Let me clarify that my issue with wanting to know when is also related to the possibility of moving. For example, do I sign a six month lease or a one year lease? Do I go ahead and buy my own couch,...

I haven’t read your article yet, but I’m about to. UGH. I am simultaneously frustrated and excited in this pre-engaged state. Of course everything is all rainbows and puppies with us, and it’s...

One more topic that’s weighing on me… I know several DW readers are in this “pre-engaged” state, just like me. Where you’re with the person you want to marry, it seems like it’s about to happen, but...

I love Calvin and Hobbes!! That’s what my dad used to read to me at night for my bedtime story.
