I think women have issues rather. What's wrong with the idea? Nothing really. It's just the way the guy feels but don't be deceived 'cause calling you mom don't mean he'll end up marrying you. wink

So you're okay with your bf calling you mom and then you will act like his mother? Cause I know mothers are the ones whom born you and take care of you in a motherly way. No sex and no intimacy feeling so for him to call you mother, dont you find that awkward?

Dakore:

that's silly undecided

so "mom" is a new word for girlfriend?
then, what's the new word for mother?

Mom is not the new word for girlfriend. Ain't nothing silly about a guy callin me "mom". Been there and I enjoyed it. Why u making it sound as if he's callin u a bitch wink

Relax and enjoy jare.

I'm very okay with it. I actually like it and hell no that don't make me "act like his mother" grin It's just the way he feels like callin you. Habaa. . . y'all calm down grin

You want to tell me that when your man calls you "honey" or "sweetheart", you actually act like one?? wink

Re: Is It Normal For Nigerian Men To Call Their Girlfriends "Mom"? by Radiant(f): 12:00pm On Jul 02, 2008

@gabryl,
its fascinating to know that you came here seeking advice or opinions (good thinking). I just hope you would take a guys advice more seriously than a woman's advice. i didn't get a chance to read the whole thing, just the first few pages which i thought was long enough. i would tend to tow the line of "mellow" and "negro_ntgn" (at least their initial responses).
In many African families as you may know already, the parents/grandparents do not live very long compared to other parts of the world. Now usually when the husband's mother passes away, he may tend to refer to his wife as mummy. even when speaking to a third party in her absence, he could refer to his wife as mummy. this is quite common even up to today. But i will confess it is perpetuated mostly by beareaved guys, and because life expectancy isn't too high, it is common to see men refer to their wives or serious girl-friends as mammie. It also shows a streak of endearment on the part of the man, and an expression of the knowlegde or an acknowlegdement of the fact that he knows/trusts you are looking out for his best interests as a mother would do. it does necessarily mean that he expects you to do things for him. it is more of a selfless endearment. Now if i were the guy, i may be taken aback if you seem uncomfortable about this over a long period of time because it would indicate to me that you are not on the same page as myself. This in my opinion is an honest response and i hope it didn't have too much sting in it. I bet it would be similar to what your boyfriend's explanation.
