MrsChima ooooo. Next time the women should jump on him and smother him for 15 minutes at least.

There are some things we see as "little things" that may be taken very serious by people.

If you see nothing in saying "hello brother" then you shouldn't see saying "hello dear" as a big deal too.

Just say it and get it done with.

No big deal.

You are in a public place so you should address your spouse the way the public see you guys.

You can do that "brother" shìt at home.

MrsChima:


Ronald...aren't we all brothers and sisters?

MrsChima:


With her boobs?

MrsChima:


Hmmm. I see your point. I address my man as my husband and he address me as my wife...we don't use our names in public I have noticed that.

And you people are cool with it right?

That's how it should be.

You should do what you would also like if being done to you.

I've seen a very aggressive husband who shouts his wife's name in public whenever something is wrong.

SMH

ronald4lif:


I agree that the man over-reacted. He shouldn't have let anyone noticed his displeasure about his wife misdemeanour display and trash it with her when home.

A husband and wife aren't brothers and sisters. They are a couple who are involve sexually, this siblings don't do. Infact, they are way more close than brothers and sisters.

Whatever name a couple choose to call each other is their prerogative and its exclusive to them alone. I don't know what their pet name is but whatever it is shouldn't matter here. The man acted like a gent who is appreciative of his wife and addressed him properly, how lovers address each other. The woman should be knowledgeable and appreciative enough in responding in same mannerism. Atleast if she isn't appreciative of his warm gesture courtesy demands you address someone in a way they have to you. It has nothing to do with respect. They were in a public function and love and affection is best displayed openly.

The woman would have acted worse if he'd referred to him as a sister after she'd called him sweetie. Women should learn to treat their man like they want to be treated. A lot of them think they are the only one who should be treated nicely. That's why some say I want a man who will worship me. You have to worship him too if you want to be worshipped.

Mynd44:

If that works

MrsChima:


He doesn't use my name in public at all unless he have to get my documents or something. We are cool with that...now in the vedroom uhmmmm it is a different tone!

Chima likes to growl!

That's where you'll be asked "What's my name" "Say my name"

MrsChima:


I guess its depends on the couple and how they greet each other. I know my husband always greet me as my wife in public and at home he greet me as babe or Oluchi wuyen

one time I greeted him my friend in private...he say I ain't your friend...I am your husband. Even when he is mad with me..he still greet me as my wife.

Now I can understand the spouse greeting with proper respect...what about boyfriend/girlfriend?

naijaboiy:

That's where you'll be asked "What's my name" "Say my name"

ronald4lif:


I think boyfriend/girlfriend should be same. If a guy should address his girlfriend sweetie or honey she is expected to address him in similar way. Not brother or friend.

I can choose to call my woman isi-aki and she calls me isi-okwute at home for instance. And when we're out in public we can still address each other in same manner. But when either of the couple first addresses the other with cute pet names the person should do same and not act as if they're at home.

MrsChima:


What works for you?
