Is it weird for my boyfriend to act like a dad?

[Anonymous]

Me (21yrs) and my boyfriend (37yrs) have been together for almost two months. He refers to himself as daddy quite a lot, inside and out of the bedroom. He says things like “if you need help, ask me; daddy’s smart” and “daddy’s going to lay down for a little bit.” I like it but I find it difficult to actually call him daddy even though I’m into it; must be some kind of mental block. He is also jealous and slightly controlling. I like to draw sometimes and I drew a picture and he hung it up on the fridge like a proud dad. I also drew a picture of our names together and he seemed to love that, he saw it and said “cute baby!” And he taped it up to his bedroom door. I like our dynamic, but is this generally considered weird?

It’s not 100% normal, however it’s also not weird if it’s something you both feel okay with.

I would however have a sit down discussion on this, the fact it’s hard for you to say and you find him controlling and jealous are not good signs tbh.

These things should be open and honest, built on trust n respect.

it sounds like you need to work out some boundaries and limits, such as restricting it to certain days or having a sign that shows you are okay to start using this form of address.

The idea is this is something you like, not just him, it’s wrong when it’s not accepted by one of those involved.

it’s a kink, however it needs to be a shared kink.

There are ways to open it up more and allow you to both explore that side of things.

If you like it and he likes it and it does not cause problems outside of the relationship, why does it matter whether anyone else thinks it is weird?

My boyfriend def likes me using “daddi” with sex but he’s nvr said it. He sometimes likes it if I say it in public or around his frnds def.
