He'll call my name from the next room and I'll obnoxiously and jokingly answer 'Yessuh' or 'Sir.' and they look at me like I'm nuts. Or he'll hold the remote out of my reach while we're playing around and being childish with each other and say 'nuh uh, not till you say sir.' real jokingly. I say it and his friends are like 'you got her right whipped, bud'. Why do they think I'm 'right whipped' when I'm just playing around. Yes, I do call him sir in serious situations, but I call my brother 'sir' as well. And my brothers friends. Most men in general. Why is this a big deal? Reply to this Question

 If you call your partner Sir in serious situations, it is not natural as this indicated he has authority over you.
Not matter the environment you are in, there should be mutual respect in a relationship.
Does he call you "Mum" or "My Lady"?
You both should be at same level, but if you are happy with this, who am I to question it?
Providing there are not other signs that he is a control freak, it could be only a fettish.
Take care x

I always called him t he piano kid. He's like, the best. And when Lucy's like 'What's so great about Beethoven? He's never had his face on a bubble gum card, has he? How can you say someone's great who's never had their picture on a bubble gum card?' Anyhoo, I was just wondering why people were so uptight about me called my man sir. Thanks for all the help!

It was a debate between my mother and brother if Marcy was 'gay', and I said 'it's Peanuts, who cares!?' lol
I mean, yea, in the bedroom, the word sir gets uttered every now and then, but it's a turn on for the BOTH of us. Sir is my nickname fore him, pretty much. I called him sir before we were even together. I called him sir before I knew his NAME, lol. It's an us thing now.

 It's fine if you mean it in a joking way and if he actually isn't forcing you to say it. If you want to call him 'sir' you can, I don't see much wrong with that he is your boyfriend after all. It's the same way how other couples give eachother pet names like "shnuckums" or "sugar plum." Calling him 'sir' isn't exactly affectionate but it's a personal joke between you so go ahead. As long as he isn't forcing you and as long as it stays as a joke type thing then it's ok. Your friends just don't share the joke that's all.

It is just an idiom of your speech and if you like it then you carry on.
I call my husband 'your majesty', sarcasm always wins!
