Do u care if ur SO calls you bro/dude?

Question

I never actually put thought into this because I’ve always been really casual and call everyone bro and dude but today my boyfriend told me “don’t call me bro, I don’t like it. call me babe or something else” and told me apparently I called him bro the other day when we were hanging out with his brother and it really bothered him. to me it’s just something that comes out naturally when talking to people I’m close with

Answer

No. I call him that and never said anything about it. It wouldn’t bother me if he did it back. Honestly I’d prefer that over “Bae” which my bf sometimes calls me and I cringe.

Answer

I don’t even care unless it’s constant. I love it when my boyfriend calls me by baby and all that. If it’s a constant thing, I wouldn’t like it much.

Answer

I personally wouldn’t want my SO calling me dude or bro, especially me being a female. But regardless, if I’m in a relationship with u, I am NOT ur dude or bro! 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I call him "girl" sometimes when I talk to him 😂

Answer

My husband & I call each other “dude” when we’re like super into telling a story lol, and then we look at each weird, laugh, then brush it off lol. It’s not a constant thing so we don’t worry about it at all.

Answer

My ex of 5 years hated it! My bf now doesn't care. Which thank God because I call everyone dude.

Answer

i dont call him that eventho i did at the very very start for a few weeks. He told me he didnt like it and when i think about it no i wouldn't like it either dont treat me like a friend.

Answer

I don’t know why but this bothers me SOOO MUCH!! I honestly don’t even know why but anytime he does it I feel myself tense up and get mad! 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

Answer

We say dude or bro all the time, but we are both from California so.... Dude and bro and ingrained into our vocabulary 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I personally don’t like it. My husband called me dude once after he had been with his friends for a bit and I just told him I didn’t and it hasn’t happened since. I didnt think it was a big deal but he also respected my dislike and doesn’t do it.
