Hmm I wouldn't count pet names among the worst crimes.

Maybe not but when you tell someone that you not only don't like it but are actually VERY OFFENDED and she is stupid enought to insist on continuing with it and in front of other people to boot and then she wonders why you tell her to get lost you tend to wonder if there is anything other than air between her ears! If I called a woman by some pet name and she objected then she would never hear it again. What is the problem?
That is just one example anyway, there were plenty of others.
This is the dirty little secret in a whole lot of marriages. From what I've seen, I would say the percentage of women who do this compared to men is a lot higher.
In a lot of relationships I see, the women are the ones who stomp around angry or sit with their head down giving out "the silent treatment" if they don't get what they want. They behave this way until the man gives in, admits that he was the one who was totally wrong, and grovels to her satisfaction. If a guy acts like this, he's a big baby. If a woman acts like this, it's normal.
Have you remarried?

Yep.

I find many things amazing.
I believe it is not the pet name that is the crime; but, it is more likely to be the use of [fill in the blank --- pet name or whatever] to taunt the other person who has made it clear that he/she finds it offensive that is the "crime".A deliberate pattern of behaviour, especially in front of outsiders, designed to irritate or offend another person is often the beginning of the breakdown of a relationship.

Considering how many women you met blaming their ex husbands instead of accepting the blame for themselves of them being divorced.
Its called "respect." And it works both ways for men and women alike.

My current wife accepts the blame for marrying her ex-husband in the first place, I have met him and I the only question I had is how a woman with a genius level mind could have been duped into marrying a man with such a stunted emotional development, he has the maturity level of a three year old. My stepdaughter has two beautiful boys who call me "Grandpa" instead of him, he lives within a three hour drive of them but has never even tried to meet them.

If I was your wife after a comment like this, I'd be wondering why I then proceeded into a marriage with you.
Damn! They were studying my ex wife! LOL
(Well, somebody had to say it. lol)
Yes, it is indeed called respect; and, I don't believe I singled out one gender over the other.Any time one person in a relationship, male or female, insults the other and/or deliberately taunts the other [especially in front of outsiders] with something known to be disliked ---- well, that is just poison and is a sure fire relationship killer -- or worse.
Usually, I have observed that when a relationship reaches this point it is all over already anway and it's time to put the final nails in the coffin of that relationship.

She was outside BANGING on my window screaming at the moon trying to get inside. The window finally shattered and then I ran to the door to confront her. She stormed into my apartment, hitting me and screaming at me. I finally got her outside when she fell over and I dragged her out.
Needless to say, I was a bit shaken up by all this. So, I started a pot of coffee and tried to calm down. About 20 min. later, 2 cops came to visit me. One of the other neighbors had called them.
They asked me what happened, and I told them. What bothered me was that they ASKED ME SEVERAL TIMES IF I HIT HER OR LAID A HAND ON HER. It felt as if they were baiting me.
Well, they finally got into her apartment, arrested her and took her downtown. She was a violent drunken mess the entire time. This was also the second time she had been arrested in 2 months for having a violent drunken tantrum.
So in the end, she was not charged either time. No criminal record, nothing.
What would have happened if the roles were reversed? If a man had done this, he would probably STILL be in jail.
Nope, it's the same everywhere. For years and years I have said to people "excuse me, pardon me, thank you, you're welcome." The past 2 or 3 years, I slowly started to realize that I'm the only one that ever does this. Women in stores on in public are completely oblivious to everybody else on the planet.
So these days, I leave my cart in the aisle, don't open doors, none of that. Why put myself through so much trouble when the courtesy is NEVER returned or even appreciated?
How do you force a guy? Or in other words, how do you push a chain?

Then I suppose you are glad that you are not my wife and I suspect that she is glad that she is.
