My wife is the greatest friend I have...my feelings for her can push a bulldozer.

Echo chamber.

I guess he hasn't heard of frenemies. What happens then?

It is one of those silly statements that people make. Like the ones that echo "What God cannot do does not exist". There could be a negative connotation to that statement.

Imagine marrying someone who fights you cos you called him Ode.

Hmmm

Splendblex:

Hmmm

I cannot deal with someone who will pick offence with that word.😂

OK. But what can one do, when he or she cannot sustain friendship.....and really want to do.?

How is a friendship sustained? Learn these things, make friends with those who at least share the same or similar values as you, and go from there.

Tor if there's friendship he won't sef
Not like someone that will tell me," you have commonised our relationship" chai

Why would you call your husband 'Ode' which means stupid in the first place?

Calling someone Ode is already provocative; if a 'fight' comes out of it, your luck.

Uhm, depending on how you use it. Context matters.

I don't know about you but I playfully call my lover/folks "Ode" and they don't see it insulting.

Exactly my thoughts too. If there's friendship, there's no biggie.

😂😂😂😂

Steady259:
Marry your best friend this, marry your best friend that, as if best friends do not betray each other.

Simply ask for God's guidance and you should equally beware of karma. As a man, you cant frolick with people's daughter and expect to be rewarded with the best and kindest of them. Nature has a way of getting back at you.

Exactly

All these talks na opata

Na God guiding the two partners in the marriage be the Koko


Prayers to God for guidance always is the best approach

If you like be the best of friends, human nature can still play a role

"marry your friend" lol

Una fink say marriage na dating? Lol

Marriage is all abt caring nd resposibility.

Wetin friendship dey find for der?

Cut dat crap jor!

You are right, depends on how I see it.

I find it as an insult and interestingly, others around me think it same.

I have never had a friend, family member or husband call me such. Ditto same with me.

I guess it is popular with younger folks.

Don't even see anyone my age and above do such.

Tayorshd87:


Exactly d girl u guys have been together for long seems to be d best ..

But u see all this latest new meet babes ehn social media don turn all to olosho

Messi, Gareth Barry, LeBron James, sharuk Khan even nonsense granot xhaka. I came to realise had it been I married my childhood friend my life would have been better cuz she so much understands me. All this one's I dey see know no get one complete sense.

Yes. Context matters A LOT.

Well, you're the Millennials generation and it would look insulting for a spouse, friend or family member to call you such.

Meanwhile, it is not so with my generation, the Gen Z. A lover, friend or family member can playfully call us "Ode" and it would be endearing.

I searched the word "Ode" on my Whatsapp and it wasn't an insult in any of my convos.
You can have a look. These are three different conversations.

Your level of understanding is miles away from what the poster meant.

I was going to say 'You Gen Z' but I decided to choose peace this evening.

You guys were kuku the ones that started the Ode stuff.

@bold: Very true.

If you want to talk more, and not derail the thread, we can take it to the Pinkpill thread if you wish.

Hahaha. It's true. Na we start that "Ode" tag.
That word too sweet abeg.😂😂😂😂

Kobojunkie:
Do you think those who beat their women regularly are married to partners they consider their friends?

how you met your partner and hw long you have courted him/her directly influence your chances in relationship and marriage, while courting you will see the tolerance you both have.. i know most people get into marriages these days because they think their partner is living comfortable and are compatible with each other so they dnt need to rate other aspects of their life.

folake4u:

Objection!

Ode is NOT a pleasant word to say to a man you are in a long-term relationship with depending on the tone of voice used by the female spouse and vice versa. It's rather insidious and can lead to a collapse of the marriage.

On the other hand, ode or the English translation called "fool/stupid" can be used in a jocular way though based on how you say it, and both of you can engage in a pillow fight and tickle each other as part of some pre-intimacy rituals, but this should not be overused because most men have a healthy ego. Lol

I strongley support this writer of this post u have made the point clear and i support that my wife is my best friend shes like my sister ..getting married to your friend will help in building a strong home nd it will help ur kids when they see u both playing like friend's

Actually, I'm referring to your second paragraph.

Her: Look at his big head. Come here Ode!
Him: Who are you calling Ode?
(Pillow fight and tickling each other follow).
Mekwe starts.

Curtains closed.


The End.

I want to follow peace this evening

Gen Z, the mental health generation.

Even for we late millenials, we are as far apart as year 1999 to year 2000.

I remember a Gen Z colleague who was talking about mental health and claustrophobia like you guys just invented the words.

I looked at her and told her that I have been claustrophobic since before she was born and it is not limiting me or affecting my 'mental health' in anyway.

Na patience we go dey use deal with una.

Na Gen Z we be oh, we nor kill person.

But she's claustrophobic na. And you know say my generation always dey sóro sóke.

Millenials nor dey talk, una too dey endure abeg. Na why this country still dey like this.

As for me, my mental health is KEY. I nor dey use am play. I nor like stress at all.😊

Nice2023:



I am in my 8th year of marriage.

U guys married ur enemies and that is why u can't progress beyond the level u are presently. If ur marriage is not working,don't think others own are dead like urs.

Even if I have three girl friends now,the love I have for my wife is topnotch and unequalled.

Sorry for ur bad marriage...next time work on ur bad character before u propose to a woman.

You are subtly telling us you have at least a girlfriend; so how do you love your wife so much, your best friend, yet you keep a girlfriend? I am just curious.

But why call your spouse "Ode"? Love or marriage isn't an excuse for insult, whether said jokingly or not; it's like calling him or her "Oloshi".

There are better approaches. My opinion though.

I see you're a Millennial. It's not an insult please, to us Gen Z especially when used jokingly.

Irrespective of the age range by generation, what I meant was that it is an insult to call your spouse "Ode", whether you are joking or not. There should be some level of respect.

I don't know if this is what you mean as well.

There was a typo in my last post. It's not an insult to us. Context matters.

To each his own.

All these ndi marry your friend.
Marriage is different from friendship, don't mix up the two abeg.
Just because water and ethanol(alcohol) look alike doesn't mean they both boil at a hundred degrees.

Nice comparison. How I wish the Non-science can get the deep meaning of your words.

Exactly, "to each his own"
You can see how 'successful' relationships and marriages have been with Gen Z

Mutual respect never goes out of fashion, and generational gap does not preclude it either.
