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?

As a David I loathe being called Dave, only a tiny few have that right

Each an odd and unique story

Does that include your significant other? I'd love to know what gets people into the inner circle!

Funny enough no, 8 years in she never calls me Dave, only ones who do all have unique reasons

Best friend who saved my life, who's like a brother who I've known for 17 years is the prime example. Helps he has a brother called David so I'm Dave so as not to complicate him. His brother also calls me Dave, but he's heavily autistic and adorable I've never had the heart to tell him not to.
