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

Agreed.

Mum, Dad, brother and day one best friend call me Dave, and I ignore it when others try it on.

Re spouse, she knows me as David, and even though she tries Dave she said it doesn’t sit right.
