Feeling a bit bad?

[Pandora29]

Bit silly really. My boyfriend of a year, well only serious the last 6 months, always mispronounced my daughters name. I tried correcting him a few times, she’s 14 years old. But he still said the same thing. So I left it. He doesn’t really bother with her and she stays away from him.
I set him straight the other day about it. Now he’s acting like I cheated on him and done something terrible. Feel a bit bad. All a bit silly really.

You feel bad because he is being a dick? There is no reason to mispronounce a name unless you want to blatantly show contempt and disrespect. Is he rude in other ways?

Does he have a speech impediment?

Oh dear. A man who cannot bear to be pulled up on a repeated mistake. Sounds like a real prize.

You are seeing a man who 'doesn't bother with' your daughter, deliberately gets her name wrong and then behaves like a dick when you call him out on his blatant disregard for her. Have a think about how your child must be feeling. Tell him to get to fuck and put her first.

It's not about the name

He doesn’t really bother with her and she stays away from him

You really want to be with a man who doesn't care about your daughter and she doesn't like him????

How childish of him, he's embarrassed so is a complete arse to you! Has this not put you off him? I think I would be having a rethink about being with such a manchild - yuk!

You're feeling bad about the entirely wrong thing , your priority should be her feelings, but instead you're agonising over a man child

Don’t you want more from a relationship than a dick who can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum (getting her name right) when it comes to a forming a relationship with your daughter. Raise your standards because you should be aiming higher than this.
