This is beyond wierd. It's actually a little messed up. He's trying to control you, and trying to make you feel like crap when you don't call him babe. I don't care how he justifies it, he sounds like he's a little low-key abusive. I think you gotta get out of this relationship before he turns physically violent, or maybe go see a counsellor with him in case there's some underlying issues on his side that may have resulted in a hatred for being called man, dude or his name (I know this is highly unlikely, but you haven't left him yet which indicates that you care for him and at least want to try to make things work, in which case seeing a counsellor is a good option because it means that together you can talk about his aversion to being called anything other than babe and you'll be in a safer environment in which you can communicate how his anger over names and minor mistakes make you feel).
Is this weird???
So my boyfriend get angry at me when I call him dude or man or homie.
I'm so used to calling all of my friends it and even calling my old boyfriends it and none of them ever had a problem.
I agreed never to call him it again Bc he doesn't like it but he only wants me to call him babe. He gets offended even when I call him by his name.
It accidentally slips out sometimes because I use phrases like "cool man" a lot with my literally everyone. And when I let it slip out he asks me "what did you say?" like angrily. But I don't get why he gets so mad. I say sorry and I didn't mean to. Then he makes me say "cool babe" to fix it.
I even recently yelled his name out the window and he said "I heard you yell my name why didn't you say babe". And he was mad again. But I was just being cute and calling his name out the window.
Btw we are in college so it's not like we are married and I have to call him honey or something.

I’m sorry that you had to experience an abusive relationship, but I’m so so glad you use everything you leaned to help others

of course I'm okay. obviously I'm away from it, it happened a good while ago. I use my own experience to helo others get out so they see what can happen if you let it continue
I would get mad if my husband called me bro or dude. It’s either baby(which I prefer cuz nobody else ever calls/called me that) or my name (which sounds weird when he says it but still). My husband thinks it’s weird too when couples call each other bro. But that’s them, I would feel like- I’m not one of your bros or homies I’m more than that
