DH refers to himself as my “Dad”

[GingerBreadGinge]

Weird one! DH has for a long time referred to himself as “Daddy” when it comes to me. (Not sexual!)

For example if I need his help he will say “Your Daddy will do it” “Daddy do” or “Let your Dad help you” or “Your Father will fix it” He keeps saying he should really stop calling himself my Dad.

Is this infantilising? We do have kids so he is used to being “Daddy” but he refers to himself as my “Dad”

AIBU? Is this weird?? He also says “Good girl!” When I’ve done a task etc. Or “You’re a good girl!” I’m in my forties!! DS has even begun to correct him saying “She’s not a girl, she’s a woman” Etc.

AIBU?

‘Daddy’ porn is a thing.
Grim.

Fucking gross.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant.

Creepy as fuck
Tell him it stops right now

I’m surprised you’re so convinced it’s not sexual.

I have the ick on your behalf!
<Shudders>

Oh. No. That’s weird.

I hope you’re right, but I doubt it.

Yuck so creepy. Tell him Mumsnet thinks he is a weirdo and needs to stop this post haste.

Vomit.

Goodness me.

Ok. In what other ways does he assert his control and treat you like a child?

How do you feel about being in a relatiionship where you feel you are treated like a child rather than a grown woman and an equal partner?

How can being single be worse than this!!?

Yea!

I am feeling the ICK from here!

"Good girl" - patronising git.

reverse it
come to mummy

Oh op that has got to stop! Why would he say that? It’s weird. I would be really concerned as to where he has picked up that term? You are not his CHILD
Do you have dc?

Big ick. I could not get past that 🤢

Potentially!?!
Oh god.
"Daddy do"???
Just how many ways does he manages to belittle you in the course of a day, OP?
ADHD is a reason for many things, but your critical thinking should still be working. Did you turn yours off because all the little red flashing lights were annoying?

Every single time, I would stop dead and say firmly with a hard stare 'you're not my dad'
However I'm concerned you say he's controlling in other ways too.

Well this is just absolutely disgusting in my opinion 🤢

It would be the quickest LTB in history if I was married to this weirdo 🤮

What man in their right minds would actually talk like this?

Yeah he’s freaked out by it too and corrects him.

Your poor son!

op have you asked him why he does it?

Do you guys have a sex life and does he say shit like this?
