You add a nickname if you want to. Not because you want to send some covert message about who or what she is. How exactly is she seeing this? How is she near your phone when she calls you to see the caller ID?

And this isn't a process to give off some half hearted attempt at dread.

You guys are missing the point of dread. It's not to instill jealously. That will backfire on you. It's to improve and show you are an attractive man. That women want you and that she needs to come to the decision if she is going to work to keep you. The women that are responding to this crap are DTF and your marriage wasn't as far gone as you thought, but you were/are.

Dread is all about you until the last stages where you have put you wife/LTR on notice. Even still it's you. You making the choice to move forward with your life.

So.. You have a cute nickname. Are you going to change it when she's a bitchy? Then leave it laying around. Maybe she'll see it and get the hint?

Get out of her frame and stop with the covert communications. If you want to call your wife DTF Girl and have her notice? just fucking do it.
