Calling your romantic partner "bro" or "bruh" is incredibly patronizing and cringe, amirite?

This is such a weird hill to die on, like, my girlfriend is also my best friend, I'm gonna talk to her like it.

Yup. Cringe away, we dont care. Im sure there are many other things ppl cringe at that idgaf about too. People worry about others and compare themselves to others too much.

I think OP more so means during an argument. Me and my boyfriend use bruh and bro, it's fun and silly. Not during an argument though. It would be immature.

No better or worse than using the word cringe.

My god yes. It just makes me think the person is 14 years old trying to be cool which is very cringe worthy. Take note little nerd kids, the word is cringworthy when you're an adult.

Oh cause nothing can possibly make you cringe right? Get real.

Except cringe is the actual word that describes how I feel. I guess I could say "I get second-hand embarrassment when I see people use ___ word."

Infact it's probably better. Not by much but better nonetheless

I don't think they know what that word means.

Married with kids.

Bro, you say things give you "extreme cringe", you aren't going to convince anyone that someone actually married you and gave you kids.

"Bruh" is also so much less hostile than so many other options, it's almost playful and helps for the situation to not escalate.

My wife is my best friend and I talk to her like it.

Not if the partners themselves don't care. You don't get to decide how someone else feels.

I don't recall trying to tell anyone how they should feel.

The point is it's not patronizing just because you personally don't like it. You aren't being called the thing. You don't get to decide for a couple that it's patronizing for them if it isn't TO them and how they interact.

When you cant address their point, you just focus on the way it was packaged.

You don't use other pet names? Dude, man, mates, kiddo and the rest?

I don't use any of those on my husband. I use hon, love, babe. Different set of pet names.

But she is my "bro," too. I love her so much :)

Well… being annoyed by things that don't concern you, or affect you, is generally unpopular so well done.
