Imjustagirl: It's not about the familiarity, or right and wrong or any of that, but about the friend's wishes. Some other friend may be okay with it, but since this one isn't, he should accord him the respect he wants. |

My guy, in as much as african traditions and norms are applicable you have no right to call any married Lady by her name..Even if she's your younger sisters, you have no right because her status quo has change, you have to show both the man and the woman respect.. But it's not bad to call your guy by his name, but when it's come to husband and wife related issues it must be handled with great respect.. 2 Likes |

Wotoporiously speaking I think he's pissed off about something and taking it out on you, if na me being that we are that close I for just answer am with "okay" then after the wedding keep my distance but no bad blood intended. This things happen bruv, you gotta be wise how you deal with situations like this.. Note; you're not wrong by calling her by her name cuz truth be told that's her name, but if he says otherwise you can just let it slide. But truth be told I find this very odd, that your friend sha. Hmmm 2 Likes |

As person wey I be, I don't trust anybody. You don't even have any business coming to my home. That's my sanctuary and no 'friend' is allowed to disturb me there. You need me? You know where I work. We get groove, you know the way to the club. So most def, you have no business relating with my wife not to talkless of adressing her by her first name. Na me you know, let it end there. 1 Like |

Of course yes, there's nothing wrong in doing that as long as she can also call you by your first name because respect they say is reciprocal. 1 Like

This thing always seems right to you until you role play or someone does it to you. My elder sis told me same when I address her husband by his name. I took her feedback jejely, "Your husband" "Your wifey" etc for peace to rain, no stress yourself respect your friend and don't listen to those people telling you to walk away from that relationship. 1 Like |

Culturally in Yoruba land is scrupulously wrong. In other tribal land it might not, so preferably address her by her children name or any other usual pet title you know. |

bukatyne: Did you read to understand or join bandwagon? He is friends with both of them years before his friend decided to marry her. Secondly, he did not call her in a disrespecful way, it was a sentence that even included the name of his girlfriend..I persoanlly wont take it as an offence.. secondly, it wasnt even in the presence of his friend's wife it was in a message..come on. I am very sure he wont address her by her name when they are all chilling or together. My question to you is, if it was his friend's wife who called him by first name, would he warn his wife? 2 Likes |
