Am I Wrong In Asking My Husband "How Are You"? by eigmaticme: 8:21pm On Jan 26, 2016 |
My husband called me today and the conversation went thus Me: Hey babe,how are you, how is your day going Him: I am fine love And we spoke for about 5mins. I share an office with three other people and when I hung up two of the three said it was wrong and disrespectful to ask my husband "how are you" that I could only ask someone younger that. I got home and asked the Mr.if he felt offended when I asked him that and his response was he has never given it a thought and its no issue to him. In his words "you should ask me how I am every time you call" Please let me have your thoughts |

One time when I was younger, a lady quarreled with me at school because we said hello and I asked her "how are you" first. In her words, she's older than I am and I should have waited for her to ask me, then I'll reply. I was flabbergasted. That was the first time I'd heard something like this. 3 Likes |

Some people take it as a sign of disrespect when it comes from a younger person. I have not even the slightest idea where this notion came from. |

It's obvious your colleagues single. 79% of single ladies know the perfect advice for every situation. Little wonder why they are still single 1 Like |

Nigerians & their mumu mumu mentality. There's nothing wrong with that statement. Just as there's nothing wrong with collecting an item from an elder with your left hand. Unnecessary fuss over nothing. 3 Likes |

Maybe it's not disrespectful to your husband when you ask 'how are you' since you are considered 'equal partners'. But outside close relationships, many see it as lacking courtesy. For example, you cannot see your landlord in the morning and just ask 'how are you'. It should be: You: good morning Landlord: How are you? You: Fine, thank you. My little kids ask me 'daddy, how are' and I jokingly respond with 'fine sir, ma'. Outside those close relationships, many consider it discourteous. 1 Like |
