No I won't

Some people do it; but I can't do that.

She can call me dim wich means my husband.
She simply can't call me by my name

hmmmmmmmmmmm, if she does, u drive am commot 4 house or what?

She won't callme by name. So there'sno need for me to drive her from the house

crazykid:

What did I do to girls on Nairaland; they keep attacking me all the time.

I go commit suicide o!

I wish I could be bothered.

A Real Man would also keep to his word and do it.

Rad, seriously to think I thought he was sane.

@ThiefOfHearts
Tell me, can you call your husband by his name?

Let’s say your husbands name is John; and you want to refer to him in his presence, would you say john your food is ready or john there your water is ready for bathing. Won’t you show him some respect and call him names like darling or any other respectful name you can think of?
That’s what I’ve been trying to point out here; but you won’t listen simply because you don’t want to listen.

Johny your water is ready
Johnie, your food is ready

crazykid, AGAIN maybe that is how things are in your village.

What the hell is wrong with you that makes you think all Nigerians do things the same way? Get out of my face jare and concentrate on your suicide note.

Rubbish. If you even bothered to read the thread, you'd see where I said I come from a family where my mom DOES call my dad by his name and he calls her chief(mrs) or whatever, even with that they respect each other so much.
Maybe in your part of IgboLand, such is abomination but I am not one so it doesnt matter to us. If you marry someone the same age as you, are they supposed to grovel and give you some "master" name too? Just because a girl calls you "oga" or "darling" doesnt mean she still cant be disrespectful. I can easily call you "sweetheart oloribu" and sweep the floor with your face.

I don't like the whole "pet name" crap because I find them to be so CORNY, I only do it when im being sarcastic. If the dude wants to do it to me, that's fine but my first name is pretty much a "pet name" in itself so that is usually enough.

Seriously get over yourself. Your "I'm the master and you're the seravnt" mentality you have towards marriage/relationships is just disgusting and if i could, I'd vomit on you.

So what you're telling me is that if you get married, you would call your husband by his name whenever you want to refer to him right?

Well suit yourself. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinions

Yes I would.

Now run along and finish your letter.

What letter?

lmao. . he's not dead yet?

ThiefOfHearts:

Maybe in your part of IgboLand,

Tiffy, it's like you forgot I'm Ibo too. Such is not a rule! Only CRAZY people think that it's "saucy" to call them by their God knows what name.

henhen - she should call her boda. shio.

Radiant, I am aware of it, love

hence why I said "IN YOUR part of Igboland", meaning maybe in his own village somewhere maybe that's the practice, wasnt trying to say it as "IgboLand in general> I apolgize for the confusion, hon

ThiefOfHearts:

I apolgize for the confusion, hon

Aww. . that's fine Sweetie.

i call my hussy HONEY and he likes it

Holiness_M:

henhen - she should call her boda. shio.

wtf?

I am still waiting for someone to say:

"There is a high rate of divorce in the west because wives call their husbands by their name".

Come on guys, don't make we wait longer.

I refuse to believe you have become so intelligent all of a sudden!

Of course, there is high rate of divorce over there compared to what is obtained here in Nigeria. Such might not be unconnected their so-called ''open eye''. Is that what we want to achieve by imitating them?

I was expecting to see that since page 1. Climie.

Bunch of bloody idiots these people are, I swear.

hehe

any babe we I marry suppose be my friend. . . My friends call me by my name or a pet name if they like. Why should my wife be different.

ThiefOfHearts, what meanest thou by this? You fail to realize that in marriage, the woman is the person that can make it work. These little things a woman does, call it respect, go a long way to cement the union. Unwise ladies often make vain attempts to follow wild western styles and forget that it is respect for the husband that ensures successful marriage. If you doubt this, slap your husband just like the western babe and see the consequences.

Im "mean" cos you people make me sick.

and please spare me and everyone else with common sense this whole "western this western that". Get off the damn computer if "western things" are oh soooo horrible. Gosh.

Calling you some dumb pet name doesnt mean i respect you. How hard is that to understand?

Cut the crap. . . Pet name is not love.

Call me by my name and respect me inside and outside the room.

Be a lady on the road and LovePeddler in the room. That's a colombian description of a virtuous woman. lol

Hi TOH? ori okpe

So what should she call me? Baba Basira or what? na wa for u o
