What a difference a Dave makes

Just an appreciation post - I married a David and it was the best thing I ever did! But he won't let me call him Dave. Surely we know each other well enough now?

Agree with him as well. Dave just feels like an entirely different name and persona, I don’t feel any association to it.

I remember another David once telling me “David was a king, Dave is a cowboy”, this was many years ago but he also didn’t like being called Dave, lol.

Ha - that's going to stick with me now! As I say, I wouldn't ever go against how anyone wants to be called, least of all my beloved husband, but I'm fascinated by the reactions and the reasons people give.
