      He did give me a little name early on but I liked it. Unknown to him it was the same one that my previous partner used. He did call me by my first name too though. It was a mixture.
      It depends if you like it or not. If you didn’t and told him to stop he should have respected your wish and stopped.
      It’s about respecting your wishes, feeling comfortable with the little name used.

      What I experienced was worse, he never ever used my name just addressed me as ‘you’ and jabbing his finger at me and on my chest. It was depersonalisation.
      That made me feel so bad, like a dog.
      When talking to others he would say ‘my wife’ in a really loud voice. Used my first name, but rarely, in a pseudo friendly sickening way in front of others. Usually when asking me to bring him something in front of them.
