Terms of Endearment

My friends and family always make fun of the fact that FH and I use a term of endearment when we talk to each other, it's not overly creative but we almost always call each other "Babes"; I believe in the past I have gone weeks without actually using FH's name to get his attention. My friends think...

My friends think it's corny, but whatever we both find it sweet.

How do you feel about terms of endearment? Do you and your SO acknowledge each other with a term of endearment, if so what?

    FH rarely calls me by my name, I guess in part because his sister's name is also Sarah. We use a lot of nicknames, some sappier than others lol. Babe is the most common one.

    My guy and I usually call each other 'honey' or 'sweetie.' I didn't realize how rarely I call him by name till I did it this weekend and he kinda froze up and then laughed about it.

    Funny story: my oldest niece, when she was little, was asked what her father's name was. She said it was "Honey," cause that's all she ever heard my sister call him. Smiley smile

    We do hun and honey all the time. We both always hated babe or baby, just always rubbed us the wrong way. In texts sometimes I say things like "Hey, my love".

    We do sometimes use names for fun, he calls me his princess, his little mermaid, his Rapunzel (I have long hair), and his hula girl. I call him my puppy (he has sweet big puppy eyes sometimes) and my prince sometimes. Usually that's just in mushy love notes we leave for each other. We also like to call each other our wife/wifey or husband/hubby.

    We never use any of these around other people except occasionally we say "honey" around our parents.

    We call each other babe. He will even call out "BABE" in the store when he is looking for me, which I think is silly lol

    I think I use my FH's name only a few times a year. We have a decent amount of nicknames, shorten versions of our names and otherwise that our first/full names don't really come up hhaha. In our house I go by Goose and he goes by Bear...Which explains my WW name! haha

    I loved reading all of these!

    We use the typical babe or boo, but I also call him Don (his name is Daniel) and he calls me Carol (my name is Caroline). I have no idea why we use those names instead of our actual shortforms (Dan and Care). I think it started off as a joke to bug each other and now it's just habit haha. We use Don and Carol in front of other people, but not lovey dovey ones.

    We met in the military so, I call him by his last name if we are in public.He only calls me by my first name if he's angry or introducing me to someone. I rarely use his first name and if I do I'm 38 hot! lol..We both use baby or babe interchangeably.But, usually I call him Bubba or BUBB and he calls me Duck like it's our first names.

    DH calls me by my initial, "Z" sometimes. So one time, after I called at work, his colleague asked, "Why do you call your wife "lazy" and my husband laughed and said, "No, 'Hey, Z'" I call him all the usuals-- "Honey", "Love", "Sweetie".... Not 'babe' or 'baby', though-- never been a huge fan of either.

    We call each other babe. If I'm getting on his case I call him by his first and last name.

    A gang of friends, who actually introduced us to each other, used to call FH Glennifer, so I just rolled with it and came up with as many Glenn names as possible. Glennrique, Glennry the 8th, Glenn Stefani...
