"The worst thing to happen to man, nah see finish"

I have heard some ladies say that if they can't call their partners "playful" names like "Big Nose" "Cow head" "Dog brain" and "Goat Mouth" they ain't in a relationship with the right person.


We shouldn't get all serious in a relationship and at the same time we shouldn't give room for stupidity.


Calling me by my first name is not disrespectful, but calling it like you gave birth to me and the sole administrator of my life in public, that's where I will draw the line.

This person is a lady I guess

SO IT'S OK TO CALL THEM FUNMIMI, KEMIMI, YEMIMI ETC,

I think "Dear" is the normal word people accept.

Couples can also create pet names for themselves too, in my tribe "Ayanfe" "olami" ,"ademi" are very common and people don't react negatively to such name. How they come up with them? Shorten your partner's name and personalize it by adding "Mi" ( Mine).

[/color][color=#006600]I call my Man OBA (acronym of his names) and He calls me OLORI OBA or AJIKE both in or out. We are so used to the names that it comes so natural.

Some people use basic nicknames, names of their kids, their titles or just call their attention and talk to them.

Proper is relative, every couple have what works for them.
Compatibility is unique.

My neighbours.
Wife stood outside and was repeatedly calling "Baby!" at the top of her voice, apparently asking her husband (who was inside the house) to come outside.

Sounded awkward to me.

There's nothing wrong in your partner calling you by name in public. Of course, i know it could happen the other way round but that's not the subject.

And the best apology is CHANGED CHARACTER - when you carry your own water, you'll learn the value of every drop �[color=#000099][/color][/i][i][b][/b][center][/center]

I find this nonsense picture inappropriate.

Well, I normally address my husband as "honey" until my six years old was asked to say her father's name and she said his name is honey. If anybody ask her to go and call her father, she will just come and say "honey somebody is calling you" so I try to explain it Better to her but I always address him as honey even in the presence of battalions.
I really don't want my spouse to address me like a stranger. And moreover there's nothing bad in being romantic.

Maybe you should devote one day to view the WhatsApp status of some of your contact and see dumb caption like;

"Bitch mode activated"

"Just a bad bitch doing my thing"

"Covid-19 can't stop me, I am a bitch with a difference"

I waste no seconds to block those senseless môrons.

I unfriend such people
