Dear Ann Landers,
don't think my new husband is very sensitive to my feelings. He insists on calling me "Babe" instead of using my real name. He calls me Babe when he phones from his office. He refers to me as Babe in conversations with others and I'm Babe when we're in bed. "Jay" has been married before-three times. I often wonder if he called his other wives Babe as well. Every time he calls me Babe, I have the feeling that he can't remem-ber my name, or I wonder if it's because he doesn't want to get mixed up and call me by the name of one of his ex-wives. I've asked him sev-eral times to please call me Jane, but it hasn't done one bit of good. What do you make of this, Ann? Am I super sensitive or what? Should I keep harping on this or shut up? -Babe No. 4 in Virginia

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
