To think DP's nickname for me is really disrespectful?

DP calls me his little cum-bucket. I didn't mind at first because I didn't realise what it meant (I thought he was saying come-bucket although I realise that doesn't make sense) but he's saying it outside of the home too which is even worse. I saw him writing a text to his mate who we're going out with at the weekend and he refered to me as "cb". He denies it was short for cum-bucket but refused to say what else it could mean!

AIBU?? It makes me cringe.

This is SO not true. Guessing your teachers were on strike today OP

I would be really offended. Why don't you start to refer to him and little prick to all and sundry and see how he feels.

Good for you that you do mind now. It seems that it's his way of bragging..."I only have to look at you and you come." Only weak men repeat that to a wider circle, taking it beyond an intimate joke. Not acceptable and tell him so.

Aw bless.

That's really cute.

He must really love you.

I second Vicky2011... "I didn't realise what it meant"...

Fifis25StottieCakes · 30/06/2011 22:24

I do as well. The z kind of gives it away

hottoddy2 · 30/06/2011 22:29

Is he Australian? (no disrespect intended to the aussies) .... it's just that my friend went out with an Australian bloke for many years and he nicknamed her his "shaft slider". She thought it was funny.

BootyMum · 30/06/2011 23:10

Hottoddy2 I am Aussie [living in London] and don't know any decent grown up Australian man who would call his partner "cum bucket" Shock

Aussie blokes can be a little old fashioned, chauvinistic and macho in their manner but also generally pride themselves on being gentlemanly and chivalrous ime.

I think if an Aussie bloke called his female partner this delightful term he would get short shrift and raised eyebrows from his mates.

It is not an acceptable term, even as a joke, in Aussie culture.

'Little woman' or 'the missus' is though but usually used in a jokey and affectionate way as Australian men realise that Aussie females are the real boss in the relationship!

Bu chance this has anything to do with Australians, if DH referred to me that way he would be looking for his fucking teeth.

Why are you with this wanker?
