A woman has gone viral on TikTok after admitting that she can't actually pronounce her husband's name and has instead been referring to him by a term of endearment for the last few years
One woman has recently confessed that even after several years of marriage, she still can't correctly say her husband's Swedish name.
So instead of learning, she's given up trying and has instead just been calling him "baby" as a pet name for the last three years.
This was revealed in a TikTok video posted by the user @maybebrea, which has gone viral, being watched more than 13 million times on the social media platform.
In the video, the woman says: "Ok, so I've been calling my husband baby for the last three years because I don't know how to pronounce his Swedish name."

I don’t know why my wife can’t call me Richard?
If I couldn’t pronounce RaGNar, I’d just go with RaNGer. (Pronounced Ran-ger, not Rang-er, of course.)
Rah nee yar.
Why did he wait so long question?
You do know that’s why they stabbed Julius Caesar right? Because he had the dasti to correct their pronounce ieisha his name.
