It's rather telling that when someone brands a given behavior as offensive, you imagine the discussion must stop there. That nobody else has the right to argue in the defense that, het, the 'perpetrator' has actually done nothing wrong in this specific case, and since one cannot rightfully insist that speakers no longer mention their significant others ever, the author really should get over this particular offense in order to function in the community at large.

If you think I have no right to say that, you would probably find yourself more comfortable on a private soapbox that in a discussion forum.

Wait, you're allowed to be offended. But the person you're reacting to should get over what bothers them. And somebody reacting to your offense should pursue an oxymoronic private soapbox?

You are a special, special snowflake.

Either you're intentionally misrepresenting my position or your reading comprehension needs serious help.

Ah yes. Again, you conclude that the only possible outcomes are ones where you are in the right.
