DEAR ABBY: This morning my husband of five years, "Frank," called me by his ex-wife's name. It made me furious because it's something he's done from time to time. I'm still fuming and have managed to avoid him all day.
Don't get me wrong. I'm cordial to Wife No. 1. I make every effort to cooperate with her because of the children involved -- but being called by her name is like a slap in the face.
If I tell Frank, I know he'll say I'm overreacting. What do you think, Abby? -- WIFE NO. 2 IN TEXAS
DEAR WIFE NO. 2: Go to the stationery store and buy some "Hello, my name is ( )" stickers. Plaster one on your shoulder and one on your nightie. That should get his attention and your message across without being heavy-handed.
