Sandusky Dear 80 According to Dr Harold Visotsky director of the Institute of Psychiatry at Northwestern Memorial Hospital there may be one of two reasons for your problem depending on how you feel about your husband If you have warm and loving relationship your inability to call him by his name is an attempt to deny this close rela tionship with the purpose of protecting it against possible loss If you feel some deepseated resentment against him some hidden anger perhaps your refusal to address him by name is your way of keeping him at arms length So look inside honey and take your pick
