Husband calls me 'Nag Wife'

Yup. ‘If you don’t stop calling me that, they’ll be calling you ‘no wife’.

Yup, this.

Sorry, I don’t have time to read all the comments (this is a popular thread!) and I apologise if someone has already suggested this but he needs to be “twat head” in your phone and he needs to see it

My ex took delight in calling me 'Dippy doos' as I'm a bit forgetful, at first it was just mildly irritating but after a while it became annoying in a 'passive aggressive' way, one day we were in our way to a family gathering at his parents house when he started again, just as we pulled up outside their house I turned to him and said in a calm but menacing way... "If you call me that name just once more in front of your family I will verbally rip you to shreds in front of them and will have no qualms doing it either" as I rarely lose my temper I think he was a bit taken aback, funnily enough he never did it again.

Anyone mocking me by imitating me would get shown the door. His nickname should be Cunt.

Yup! He’s gone too far! The first time it may have been funny but to call you this continuously and even put you in his phone under this name is actually completely and utterly childish and bordering on abusive. I would be having serious words and would probably stop doing anything for him until he changes his ways. He sounds like a knob!

I trust you have him saved under an equally 'hilarious ' name?

Total dickhead, just start calling him dickhead husband. Also such a weak response when people are pulled up on behaviour to respond with ‘it’s a joke’

Do you know what that's called?

Bullying

How is it a joke when it is upsetting the OP, @Nipsmum?

I know she hasn’t said outright that it upsets her, but she wouldn’t be posting here if she thought it was as funny as he does, nor would she be planning to talk to him about it.

FWIW, I think it is deeply unfunny, mean, and intended to get her to stop asking him to pull his weight around the house - aka ‘nagging’.

You are definitely overthinking what was meant as a joke.
If he's anything like my ex the more you protest the more he will continue with it.because it annoys you

Deep down he knows that he is not pulling his weight, so he is deflecting his bad feelings on to you in an effort to make it your fault. Right now, it may be a joke, but before long he will start to believe his own bull. he may already believe it a little bit.

No, don't call him a nick name. He'll just take that as a green light to carry on. Say to him very calmly and clearly "If you don't stop calling me nag wife, I will leave you". And mean it.

Jokes that are at someone else’s expense, when that person does not find them funny, are not humor. That’s bullying.

There is no way I would tolerate that hostility and disrespect.

Men with small brains think it's funny to make fun of someone - such as giving them a stupid nickname, and using it all the time. It wasn't funny the 1st time, or the 100th time, but men always say 'it's just a joke'. Does he have anything that gets under his skin? I bet if you came up with a joke to make fun of something he's sensitive about, it would wind him up.

My exH made jokes like that in the beginning of our relationship. It didn't bother me and I thought it was an attempt at male bonding as he wasn't a man's man, if that makes sense. However over time it turned out they were not jokes. He meant it. He was actually deeply misogynistic and the mask slipped over time.

The best think i ever did was not have a child with him so I could leave him freely.

Cook only for yourself, do only your washing. When he asks,,, where's my dinner, clean clothes. You say 'oh I thought you wanted me to stop nagging so I've stopped asking you to do things'.

I'd have nipped thay in the bud the first time he ever called me that. What a pig.

If dh talks to me in a way l don't like, l talk back to him in exactly the same way. He soons gets the message - has done it twice in 15 years.

Only lazy idiots call people nags.

That is because they have to be continually asked to do stuff they should have done without being asked.

Sounds a horrible man to me.
Calls you names (strike one) as a way of him not having to do anything (strike two).
Not a nice person.

Start calling him an nick name see how it likes it like lazy twat hubby.

Actually, another poster suggests Limpdick which is a much better idea than mine.

But, tbh, OP you sound like a nice person who is not sassy and thick-skinned. Not everyone can deal with these ‘jokes’ by coming back with an equally insulting nickname; some people feel secure being called love/sweetheart.
Clearly, your DH doesn’t really know you.

I can imagine a few years down the line when you’re divorced and he asks ‘What went wrong between us?’and you’ll say “ I always hated it when you called me Nag Wife.”

Always address him as Twat Husband or Nobhead Husband.
