Sher-Bear

The title=her unofficial nickname for me.

I hate it. She loves it (and is even running a full phone, e-mail and text campaign to get me to endorse it). So, we're at an impasse.

Her text me to me last night.

"Have a good night sher bear. I miss you already and we don't even see each other. (muaaaah)!"

How can a text like that not melt your heart?

I project myself as a tough guy (one that doesn't put up with any bullsh#t any more) but sometimes you have to smile at the things that people do.

And it is very hard not to like her.

Maybe if we were married. I could roll with it.

Maybe if we were dating. I could tolerate it.

However, I told her that a man's nickname has to command respect. A woman's nickname can be cute. I offered "El Presidente" or even "Chocolate Man" (previous nicknames that have my full endorsement) as a compromise. She waved them both off. She is sticking with "sher-bear" as her candidate. She said that a nickname only has to be cute.
