true love ?

[Bitter End]

An elderly senior couple was invited to an old friend's home for
dinner one evening. She was impressed by the way her lady friend
preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as:
Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The couple had
been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much
in love. While the husband was in the living room, her lady friend
leaned over to her host to say, 'I think it's wonderful that, after
all these years, you still call your husband all those loving pet
names'.. The elderly lady hung her head. 'I have to tell you the
truth,' she said, 'His name slipped my mind about 10 years ago, and
I'm scared to death to ask the cranky old asshole what his name is.
