Name calling & 28 weeks pregnant

[Swlondon123]

Hi ladies,

I wanted to share something with you. My name is Dina and my partner has created a nickname and called me a Dinasaur many times even though I have said I don't like this classroom name calling. He has also said a few times, 'I would like to know what's for Dina tonight.' It's childish but it gets me down.

I am now 28 weeks pregnant with his child and I have developed huge insecurities about my name. Is it acceptable for a partner to behave this way?

He is 36 years old by the way and I am 31 years old soon. I feel a lack of supprt from someone I am supposed to love and to trust as they are supposed to be supportive especially when I am pregnant.

I think he grew up in an environment where name calling was acceptable but its not acceptable to the way I was brought up at all.

Sometimes I can't believe I am having a child with a man so immature as he is.

If you've made it clear that you don't think it's funny then he shouldn't still be calling you names. Is he supportive in other ways or is this part of a bigger pattern?

Suggest you make up a stupid name for him and call him it every time he calls you something

If this his just his silly way of behaving and in other ways is an actual grown up, then I would just totally ignore it. Ignore him if he says what's for Dina? Blank and walk away. Every time, just shut him down, don't look at him, don't frown or smile or react. It's lik a kid with a naughty word. Totally ignore.

It could be your hormones are making you over sensitive or it's bringing back bad memories of school name calling. Either way it's not acceptable.

If he is completely insensitive to your feelings in other areas, or not particularly nice, then you need to rethink the whole relationship.

Not enough info to give proper advice I'm afraid.

It not acceptable and it’s low level bullying. Tell him it stops now.
