    Some women become insane after marriage – Angel

    Reality star Angel Smith reacted to the discourse on X app regarding married women who have an issue with friends calling their husbands by first names.

    A discussion, which was monitored closely by our correspondent, centered on some women bent on their friends regarding their husbands with appropriate titles.

    Angel deemed this practice absurd while some suggest addressing them as “Sir” or a respectful term.

    She advocated for addressing spouses by the names they are known by and emphasised the need for people to prioritise more pressing matters, especially considering the current economic challenges in the country.

    Angel Smith further expressed her preference for her friends to continue addressing her husband by the name he is known for before their marriage.

    “As my friend, if you call my husband by his name wallahi I’ll first slap you and we’ll now fight (real fight o)and unfriend each other,” an X user wrote.

    In another post, she continued: “Will take into consideration the cultural differences between the genzs and millennials, boomers etc, cause I’m not calling my friend’s husband daddy anything except as a joke.”

    “But if Soma proposes, then yes, I’m open to that. So, for now, I would say he is my person at the moment. And he’s a sweetheart and I hope people know that he’s a sweetheart.

    Neo, however, stood his ground, maintaining that she had indeed made those remarks.
