He Has A Pet Name For His Girlfriend That Reflects Her Love Of Cows, But After His Girlfriend’s Cousin Heard It, She Got Offended
This 23-year-old guy recently began dating a 24-year-old woman who is a veterinary student. So, his girlfriend absolutely loves farm animals, and her favorite is cows.
Plus, when they first met on Halloween, his girlfriend had even dressed up in a cute cow costume.
“And I find it really endearing, so when we’re alone in the car, I call her ‘Cow-utie,'” he explained.
But, just yesterday, he and his girlfriend met up with one of her female cousins at an ice cream shop, and the pet name was taken the really wrong way.
It all began when his girlfriend and her cousin went to sit outside; meanwhile, he placed all of their ice cream orders.
Everything seemed like it was going great, too, until he returned and decided to call his girlfriend by her nickname while handing out the ice creams.
“A caramel swirl for you, vanilla and mocha for me, and cotton candy for my cow-utie,'” he said aloud.
At that point, his cousin obviously heard the pet name and became really angry. She claimed that he shouldn’t call women cows and even accused him of being discriminatory toward women.
Now, he really tried to diffuse the tension by detailing why he even calls his girlfriend “cow-utie” in the first place. But his girlfriend’s cousin refused to hear him out and just stormed away.

So, the entire hangout ended on a pretty sour note. Then, to make matters even worse, the whole incident somehow ended up being discussed in his girlfriend’s family group chat.
“And I’m not exactly Mr. Popular there anymore, despite what my girlfriend says,” he vented.
To be clear, he also checked with his girlfriend to make sure that she wasn’t hurt by the nickname, and she assured him that she wasn’t.
In fact, she actually thought it was cute and started calling him “potato” since he had dressed up as a sack of potatoes for Halloween.
Still, ever since his girlfriend’s cousin went off on him, he’s been left wondering if using the pet name “cow-utie” for his girlfriend really does make him a jerk.
Can you understand why his girlfriend’s cousin might been caught off guard by the pet name? Even so, was it her place to get so upset? If his girlfriend doesn’t mind the nickname, then isn’t it fine?
