IMAGINE THIS KIND OF NONSENSE.
IF YOU RETURN THE FAVOUR IT MAY CAUSE AN APOCALYPSE.

JidennaJason:
That's just it... They might even tag you a non romantic "abusive partner"

Ariza:
I think "Dear" is more acceptable. Nigerians don kuku normalize and bastardized the word already. Everyone nah dear.

ESPECIALLY WHEN FOLKS WANT TO OBTAIN YOU. I DEVELOPED DISDAIN FOR ANYTHING PET NAMES BECAUSE YOUR CHAT SHOW YOU CALL EVERYBODY ON YOUR CONTACT THE SAME NAMES. I THOUGHT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SPECIAL?
JUST CALL ME MY NAME. THE REAL DISRESPECT IS CALLING ME BABY WHEN YOU HAVE MORE BABIES THAN A QUEEN BEE.

CAPSLOCKED:
NEVER PLAY THE GENTLEMAN CARD FELLAS. THERE'S A REASON THE TAG "GENTLEMAN" EXIST BUT THERE'S NO "GENTLEWOMAN". YOU'RE EXPECTED TO PLAY DUNDEE. ONCE YOU GIVE BACK EXACTLY WHAT YOU RECEIVE YOU'RE A MISOGYNISTIC ABUSER. THERE'S NOTHING ROMANTIC ABOUT DEROGATORY NAMES. DUNDEE MEN DON'T KNOW THIS. IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND CALLS YOU COW MEAT, CALL HER GOAT FACE OR SIMILAR NONSENSE AND SEE THE RESULT.

Damn!!!

Liposure:
Call me dear, tunde or wizzy. Am fine

Like, a wife calling her husband "Cow Head" in public before everyone. Wtf!!!

Most couples I've seen don't call themselves anything atall in public, they rather go closer to strike any convo or so.

NerdyRudeGyal:
I don't like when people call me "Dear" would not call my partner "Dear" either (but another pet name and one that's sacred + meaningful) because Nigerians have made me dislike the word with their excessive and anyhow usage of the word.

Having known that the use of romantic and lovely names is one of the common things in marriages, but I still do not think it's a yardstick to measure the respect and love your partner got for you, because some people prefer maintaining a high level of simplicity and straightforwardness in what they do.

So I would wanna know, how proper is it to address your partner by his or her real name in public places before people?


Let's see what people got to say

"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.

when I try to call the guy man my love, sweetie,and any other sweet name in private,he will look at me some how and say " what do you want now?. What do you want to buy" so he prefers i call him his name whether private or in public. We are cool with that. He feels calling him a pet name is a subtle way of catching off guard to extort him

Ariza:
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).

If the partner is Odewunmi, so I say "odeMI"

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.
