His mom tried fixing us up, but I said I am moving and she's all excited about that. I guess I hit it off with his mom because he totally left and it was just his mom and I (his mom said, "I'll have to have a talk with him later... he just totally left you.") then it was his mom, dad and I hanging out talking about my upcoming job and move (don't worry, he came back to drop me off at my house). What happened and why does he call me a different name when I have told him that is not my name? Maybe it's a good thing I'm moving.





That's so disrespectful IMO....why would you put up with it? I wouldn't meet the guy's parents if he couldn't even call me by my name...................

I didn't really have a choice. He was driving and honestly, I don't know what I was thinking. At this point in time, it was after a traumatic experience and he seemed nice, so I was trying to adjust to my new normal and figuring out who I should include. The name issue didn't even really matter.

It's funny, almost 6 years later, I'm still figuring things out. We don't talk anymore and it probably was a head game, but I am trying to figure out who I can let it and who I can't.

He could be on the spectrum, or ADHD.

He did go to a special school, I believe he mentioned something about dyslexia and tourettes. He might have been ADHD as well.

OP, what you need to do is go completely round the twist the next time he does that. Scream, cry, hit him in the head, kick out his windshield, wish that he was dead, pitch the biggest most unholy fit he's ever seen. He needs to learn a lesson about how to treat women.

I’d wait until an intimate moment and then I’d call him by a different name.... see how he likes it.
Oh Steve!

Oh....it's good you don't talk anymore..........

Make sure anybody else in your life respects you enough to call you by the right name.............it's not hard to figure out IMO. We can tell who respects us & treats us right & who doesn't...........don't settle........hugs jessxwrites.

One year he wrote me a letter after I sent him a holiday card. It was three months maybe after the holiday, so maybe around March 2016. You know how he addressed the letter?

Dear Jessica Marie X...

I use my middle name for my books and I address my envelopes that way. It was just bizarre, the whole thing was bizarre and I'm glad I lost his number.

Disrespectful and not a nice way to treat someone. I don't care if he treated me to things, this was just mean and maybe passive aggressive.

This guy doesn’t respect you. And every time you respond to him calling you a different name you become less in his eyes.


My response would be this

“ I have asked you repeatedly to call me by my name. Every time you call me by a different name you’re disrespecting me. You’re a incredibly rude person. Please stop calling me until you start respecting me. That starts when you call me by my name. And only by my name

There is absolutely no way I would put up with that bs. I don’t care how funny or good looking or how much money the person I’m dating is/has.
