Are Your Friends Allowed To Call Your Husband By His Name?

Hi besties, amongst the many gists and gbas gbos churned out by social media this weekend, a particular one caught my eye.

It’s the discourse about married women insisting that their friends are not allowed to call their husbands by their first name. This broke a major conversation and Twitter peeps refused to let down.

Reality TV star, Angel also weighed in on the talk and shared that it’s such an archaic idea to want your friends to refer to your husband as Sir/ Ma / Daddy + child’s name. According to her, there are more serious issues to focus on, than being worried about how your friends address your husband.

Taking into account the cultural differences in the generation of people, it might be quite tough. For example, a Gen Z, married to a millennial, should not expect her friends to give such a significant level of respect to her husband, aka call him “Sir”.

This is not to regard Gen Zers as disrespectful, it’s just they see things from a different perspective and would rather focus on more important matters than trivial ones. They are also not over thinkers so trust me when I say it’s not even that deep for them.

However, the case might be different for millennials. It’s understandable if a millennial wife expects much from her friends. Why? This generation is more rotted and grounded in the cultural aspect of Africa.

Regardless, there’s also the place of personal preference. Just as our distinctive personalities shine through differently, it also demand and views things from different perspectives.

But overall, I’d like to ask ladies in the house, would you allow your friends to call your husband by his name?
