Would you refer to a friend as Papi?

Asked by Axemusica (9500points) November 22nd, 2009

As some of you know I’ve been going through some rather rough times.

Fired from work. Drummer got thrown in jail for a week, which set us back a week on band activities. New girlfriend who also just had 2 people die with in a 2 month period and got kicked out of college for underage drinking on campus broke up with me for reasons that were only referred to as “complicated.” Got pulled over within minutes after an interview that was an hour drive away.

Pertaining to the question…
I see her status on something said, “Maxamino Martinez, you already know! My papi<3”
I confronted her with, “Martinez your Papi? Yea, it was complicated.”
“He’s a friend you a$$hole.” she replied.

So who believes this?

First off-

IMO, I’d think the same thing you’re thinking.
Where I’m from, “papi” is used by little kids or girlfriends.

@rangerr we’re thinking the same thing. Kids which she’s not and girlfriends or the person you’re sleeping with.

I agree with @rangerr buttt I will occasionally call a guy friend papi (only the ones who call me mama though!!).

keep your head up kid.

We had a guy at work who went by Papi.

If you broke up, that’s it. It’s done.
It sounds like things are really rough right now but take care of yourself first.
This might not be the time to go looking for a relationship

“papi” is one thing: could go either way. “mi papi” (to me) is either your dad or your man.

@Axemusica I hope things get better for you, soon.

@La_chica_gomela well, I didn’t list all of what her status said and it did say before that, “Miss my papi” which I though was me and that’s why I kept reading. The situation is complicated and I thought she really didn’t want to break it off, but now I dunno.

@The_Compassionate_Heretic Yea I know, but I haven’t met someone I really liked in quite a long time. It wasn’t a “I’m breaking up with you” kind of deal though it’s complicated, since both of us are going through bad times and live 56miles away from eachother, but yea, I’m taking your words into very much consideration and thanks.

@everyone_else thanks guys. I start a new job tomorrow, but I’m trying to deal with all these things and it just gets overwhelming at times.

If the guy’s nick is papi, then papi, shmappy or happy it is. Trust is golden, and has nothing to do with a nickname.

Other than that – {{{hugs}}}

@NewZen Trust is golden, but I still have yet to know the reason why she “couldn’t see me anymore.” I’ve had girls call me Papi many’a’times, but not once did it mean I was their “friend.” It’s quite misleading to others and maybe even that person if in fact she is just calling them papi without meaning.

papi is usually used as a boyfriend term, however its also used very freely in the latino community and can be said to a friend a father a child,however in this case i am leaning towards the same thing most people are thinking and that its not just a friend.both of you are going thru hard times and its probably for the best she broke it off.you need to brush your shoulders off and start taking care of yourself and be glad you found out sooner than later that she was not the right one for you.with all thats going on in your life you need positive people around you starting with yourself.you will find the right girl in time dont rush.good things come to those who wait.

Was she writing to David Ortiz? Then it would be ok right?

I had a spell of bad crap happen to me a few years back like you are having. Hang in there dude- it does get better and the better kicks ass over anything lost before.
Oh, and I would hire you in a heartbeat to head the printing dept. if I had a publication company.

What the newb @tynkerbella said. She be smart.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

She got way too defensive for the guy being just a friend. Sounds suspicious. I used to date a puerto rican guy who called me his mami. It definitely didn’t mean friend. Sounds like you’ve been through hell! I’m sorry :(
