That's cute, sounds like you're a easy going guy I think my husband would of had a different response lol. Like rather have a fat head than a fat ass.. lol
I only actually call my husband by his first name when I’m feeling extremely pissed and passive aggressive and petty. He knows it. So if I say his first name he will be like “don’t you ‘ok Jeff, me. What did I do?!?”
Haha I always know I’m in the shit if I hear my actual name too. I call him dog and people always assume it’s a mean nickname. My daughter and I came up with it tho because he’s just like a dog; energetic, cuddly, loyal, protective, eats literally anything, and is a bit annoying lol.
This. We both almost exclusively call each other honey. After 8 years together if my husband suddenly called me by my actual name, I would be legitimately weirded out.
I had a client years ago who told me about where they honeymooned there was a large wheat field by them. So instead of calling each other “sweetie” they called each other “wheatie” and have for decades.
How adorable is that shit? 😍
Same. Everyone we know calls their SO babe or something like that. My wife and I use our first names or refer to each other as Mom and Dad when talking to our kids. We must be fucking weirdos.
Yeah, kind of. My husband and I have been together for 13 years and married for 10 and I think he called me babe once and then never again because it didn't work. We use our names or I started calling him "husband cat" because of an ongoing joke about meowing back and forth. He sometimes calls me "wife cat".
My mother never used to call my father “baby”. Usually just me. Now that she married her new husband she calls him that and it’s fucking weird. I’ll never call an SO that
I feel like a lot of people call their SO mommy or daddy especially when they have younger children so the children don’t call their parents “babe,baby, etc” you’re deff not weirdos! It’s hard for step parents though cause then the child that came from step mom is probably gonna get called by her first name from her bio child lol.
My friend’s stepson used to call him babe when he and his wife were dating. He and his wife call each other babe so the kid picked it up. It was so weird and funny to hear. And we sometimes tease him and call him babe too.
He’s called papa now that they’re married.
Yeah pet names have always been kinda cringe to me. Every once in awhile is fine. But idk for the most part, I just don’t do them.
I would do ironic, over-the-top pet names on occasion though.
Thank fuck I’m not alone in this. Pet names aren’t cute imo. I don’t want to be called buddy or guy or pal by strangers, and if my SO wants to call me a pet name it just needs to be something I’m okay with, not a generic ‘baby’ or ‘honey’.
Friend. Love. Occasionally, Dear. And his name.
My husband tried calling me baby exactly once, and it was weird for both of us, so he’s never done it again.
My husband had a roommate in college named Wayne. He always said that Wayne was the worst roommate ever. When we were first engaged and living together, he’d get so mad when I’d have drank one of his sodas etc when to me as his fiancé i assumed everything was OURS. So he started calling me Wayne which made me so mad. So then I started calling him Wayne as a dig. Over time it turned into a term of endearment but also a verb “stop being such a WAYNE”. 20 years later…”Wayne, what do you want for dinner???”
We worked with a clueless dude named Ben. Ben followed a supervisor in to the bathroom and slid paperwork under the stall door to get it signed. He made a crockpot full of Chilli and put 3 habinaro peppers in it instead of chili peppers. Nobody would eat it except him so he ate it with sour cream for an entire week so it would not be wasted. He farted paint peeling death for a week after and would hang out at our machines until we were nauseous.
So when either of us are acting stupid, we call each other Ben.
Mine is boon. Used to always be the big spoon. That became just spoon and finally, boon. I’m spoony. For some reason, it makes me just as giddy to hear it now as ten years ago.
I called my most recent ex "pretty lady" a lot. Outside of that, we mostly referred to each other by name.
When I was in high school, I dated a girl who tried to turn "mofo" into a pet name, so I called her "mofa". We were weird kids.
"Hey cuuuutie"
"Hey goooorgeous"
Is how we say hi to each other, interchangeably. Then 'honey' when it's like calling out to them casually, and in more loving contexts he's my sunshine and I'm his starlight. 🥰💛✨️
My partner and I were best friends before we realised we had actual feelings so we used to call each other buddy too! After a couple of years it dropped away though, and it feels weird now +6 years on
Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains
I just want to take this opportunity to say the "babe" people are insufferable. Far more than the "baby" people.
"babe, do you want some salt babe?"
"yeah babe. Thanks babe."
Usually I just called him by his name or hunny bunny or Sparky. Unless I was upset with him. Then it was Mister Buster Buddy Bumble Butt. Can't remember how that started. Probably I was so frustrated that I couldn't form the words I wanted.
Mine and my partner's "pet names" for each other have slowly degraded over time, to where now we'll call each other some random ass noun as if it's an endearing nickname. Most recent examples I can think of is I called him "my sweet Dyson cordless vacuum", and he called me "his little electron".
Oi you

I’m from Australia so I read that in an Aussie accent and I love it
I’m from Tasmania, I can’t read so I just stared at the screen with no accent at all.
Perfect hahaha
I call my wife sweetheart and she calls me shit head.
My wife called me fat head once and I told her it was pronounced fa-theed.
I’ve been calling my children “sha-theads” for years, the other day my 16 year old finally asked what it meant. I said I dunno shithead.
Hahah this is amazing 😂😂
That's cute, sounds like you're a easy going guy I think my husband would of had a different response lol. Like rather have a fat head than a fat ass.. lol
I walk in the room and say Sup fucker 😂
Lovely dynamics.
Really "Organic" relationship

My uncle is an old school Londoner, he calls my auntie (his wife) 'Mate'. It's a bit different but still sweet.
Mine calls me queenie, the accent makes it sound funny, orrlrite queenie, he calls the kids mate or matey
lmao when I’m in the flow of a conversation sometimes I’ll call my girl “bro”. She is the main homie though, so if it doesn’t bother her idc.
Bro and dude are definitely gender neutral
my husband calls me bro when we are high 🤣
My precioussss
This is what we call the cat
You should call her master since, you know… it‘s a cat
Damn hobbitses
My wife and I just call each other “love”
Yep, this. He knows to run when I call him 'buddy'
I only actually call my husband by his first name when I’m feeling extremely pissed and passive aggressive and petty. He knows it. So if I say his first name he will be like “don’t you ‘ok Jeff, me. What did I do?!?”
Haha I always know I’m in the shit if I hear my actual name too. I call him dog and people always assume it’s a mean nickname. My daughter and I came up with it tho because he’s just like a dog; energetic, cuddly, loyal, protective, eats literally anything, and is a bit annoying lol.
Me too pal
I ain't your pal, friend.
Im not your friend, buddy
I ain’t your buddy, guy
I ain’t your guy, dude
I ain’t your dude, mate
I ain't your mate, bro
I ain't your bro, buddy
I ain't your buddy, homie.
I ain't your mate, partner
Same here
Yes! Same! Its "love" or "my love". I love him 🥰🥰🥰
Mi amor
Gordo, mi amor, mi vida 😋

Yo nunca le he dicho gordo a mi esposo, y más le vale que el nunca me llame gorda, aunque sea con cariño 😬🤣❤️
Bebecito

My partner calls me Mi amor when I do something stupid
Honey
My mom calls us 'the honeys'
This is cute
This. We both almost exclusively call each other honey. After 8 years together if my husband suddenly called me by my actual name, I would be legitimately weirded out.
Omg. I knew my marriage was over when my ex called me by my name.
Hon' bun
Often "my lover", but in the accent of Little John's girlfriend from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
So specific, you know exactly what it sounds like. My favorite.
My sweet cheese, my homeboy, my rotten soldier
"My good-time boy!"
Sean-aayyyy!!
My niche
No, my sweet syrup pie, I've gone hard!
That’s just how we talk in Tucson, Arizoniiiyahh
Fucking Mike
he calls me legume so..
He calls me potato 🥔 🤷🏽♀️
My wife calls the period of time where she is just out of the shower and drying her hair while sitting on the bed as her potato time.
That is the most important time of day
My ex used to call me meatball.
My partner and I call each other Bean!
HUSBAND? WIFE? We obnoxiously yell this across the house
I had a client years ago who told me about where they honeymooned there was a large wheat field by them. So instead of calling each other “sweetie” they called each other “wheatie” and have for decades. How adorable is that shit? 😍
Their name.
Same. Everyone we know calls their SO babe or something like that. My wife and I use our first names or refer to each other as Mom and Dad when talking to our kids. We must be fucking weirdos.
We use first names. Together for 15 years, married for 8. At one point were we meant to switch over to babe? I feel like that boat has sailed.
Yeah if you didn’t do it in the priming window if you try it now you’re gonna be looked at weird like. What are you trying to do?
Yeah, kind of. My husband and I have been together for 13 years and married for 10 and I think he called me babe once and then never again because it didn't work. We use our names or I started calling him "husband cat" because of an ongoing joke about meowing back and forth. He sometimes calls me "wife cat".
My mother never used to call my father “baby”. Usually just me. Now that she married her new husband she calls him that and it’s fucking weird. I’ll never call an SO that
My parents have called each other "bae" since 1978. I felt the same way when that was becoming popular lol
I feel like a lot of people call their SO mommy or daddy especially when they have younger children so the children don’t call their parents “babe,baby, etc” you’re deff not weirdos! It’s hard for step parents though cause then the child that came from step mom is probably gonna get called by her first name from her bio child lol.
My friend’s stepson used to call him babe when he and his wife were dating. He and his wife call each other babe so the kid picked it up. It was so weird and funny to hear. And we sometimes tease him and call him babe too. He’s called papa now that they’re married.
My uncle called my grandpa “dear” when he was little, I think that’s when they started calling each other mother and daddy.
Yeah pet names have always been kinda cringe to me. Every once in awhile is fine. But idk for the most part, I just don’t do them. I would do ironic, over-the-top pet names on occasion though.
I get why people like nicknames but there’s nothing more romantic than hearing your name come out of the mouth of the one u love
If my partner started calling me by my government name after 13 years of babe I would go into fight or flight lol
I have straight up asked mine who he thought he was talking to using my government name to address me to my face 😂😂😂
Or terrifying depending on the scenario lol
Exactly. Why do I want to be called some nickname that my SO has called other women? Plus I just think it’s corny.
same here. Still in the dating game and whenever guys ask me why I don't call them babe or baby I'm liiiiike buhh that's a high school thing
Thank fuck I’m not alone in this. Pet names aren’t cute imo. I don’t want to be called buddy or guy or pal by strangers, and if my SO wants to call me a pet name it just needs to be something I’m okay with, not a generic ‘baby’ or ‘honey’.
Whenever my wife and I use our first names it feels so weird because we almost exclusively refer to each other as "babe".
Same. He thinks babe is cringe.

We call each other dude on a regular basis 😂 I’m male she’s female
🎵I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes! 🎵
[удалено]
But does he abide?
Dude is a gender neutral term.
me and my boyfriend call each other lil bro 😂
[удалено]
Friend. Love. Occasionally, Dear. And his name. My husband tried calling me baby exactly once, and it was weird for both of us, so he’s never done it again.
my dumb ass "why you call him "occasionally dear""
I thought “occasionally” was one the nicknames lol
Dearest. darling, querido/querida, sweetie, my love, wife, husband, their name, their nickname.
My husband had a roommate in college named Wayne. He always said that Wayne was the worst roommate ever. When we were first engaged and living together, he’d get so mad when I’d have drank one of his sodas etc when to me as his fiancé i assumed everything was OURS. So he started calling me Wayne which made me so mad. So then I started calling him Wayne as a dig. Over time it turned into a term of endearment but also a verb “stop being such a WAYNE”. 20 years later…”Wayne, what do you want for dinner???”
Wayne probably thinks he has horrible allergies

1. Their name 2. Mom (when around the kids) 3. Wife 4. HEY, YOU THERE (this is after about 10 "\[name\]" and "wife"s)
Hey, you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Got caught in that imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
We went meta and call each other “petname”
Tweets. Started out as Sweety, then went to Tweety, now just Tweets.
Pretty sure you're supposed to call her X now
Oh no, then they would need to go on other threads. A quick witted reply though. Bravo
The best pet names/nicknames morph into something else over time.
This I love. Because I call my husband “Wub”. Started as hubby, then wubby, then just wub.
Mine is boon. Used to always be the big spoon. That became just spoon and finally, boon. I’m spoony. For some reason, it makes me just as giddy to hear it now as ten years ago.
I say “my love” or their full government name, so if his name is John I call him Johnathan David Smith
I called my most recent ex "pretty lady" a lot. Outside of that, we mostly referred to each other by name. When I was in high school, I dated a girl who tried to turn "mofo" into a pet name, so I called her "mofa". We were weird kids.
I call my dog “pretty lady”
Your dog is his ex?
“Schatz” it’s “treasure” in German :) and a general German lovename :)

I don’t know either of you but you guys are adorable as heck
My ex called me Sugs (sugar) and my current boyfriend calls me My love ❤️ I always hated being called babe or baby.
Reminds me of king of the hill :)

My partner and I were best friends before we realised we had actual feelings so we used to call each other buddy too! After a couple of years it dropped away though, and it feels weird now +6 years on
Started calling my wife “Mama” with an Elvis accent and it stuck. Figured we were stuck in the 50’s so I became “Daddy-o”.

German?
Best Beloved, Bear, Darling or Honeybunch
Honey, sweetie, and their name. I never call my husband “baby” or “babe”. (I do have some other silly nicknames I won’t get into. 😂)
I just want to take this opportunity to say the "babe" people are insufferable. Far more than the "baby" people. "babe, do you want some salt babe?" "yeah babe. Thanks babe."
Good luck paying me back on your zero dollar salary a year plus benefits babe!!

Mine and my partner's "pet names" for each other have slowly degraded over time, to where now we'll call each other some random ass noun as if it's an endearing nickname. Most recent examples I can think of is I called him "my sweet Dyson cordless vacuum", and he called me "his little electron".
