What do you like to call your partner, and what do you like to be called?

I like to call mine 'boo' or 'honey' (sickening, i know 🙂 )

I love it when he says 'Hi, babe' there's something very sexy about that when i hear it 😛

good notso, I'm glad you understand. I think I would faint if he called me baby. I'd wonder who he was hanging around with lol!

He also has a way of making up words for certain 'terms of endearments'. But I won't post those because his strangeness will really be exposed lol!

Last bf I had called me sweetie...

I don't allow no one to call me Boo, and when people do I correct them. I mean I even had some of my girlfriends call me Boo....Why?

"I always imagine being introduced or referred to as so-and-so's "wife." The sound of that makes my heart skip."

me too 🙂

have to admit the sweetstuff makes me cringe too...in my defense i use 'boo' very sparingly...usually when i'm feeling like i need a hug or something.

i put 'baby' in the cringe category too. 'babe' is different for me for some reason.

Yes ladies my Cap was being a jackass last night!! (Go Figure!!) LOL 😉

I hate being called baby, but Babe for some reason dosn't bother me... The bad thing is that I call most people either sweetie or babe, not sure why, maybe it's a southern thing... I've actually gotton reprimanded at work before for calling customers sweetie and hun!! (She was a little old lady for christ sake!!)

I like Boo too.

But then again I am not a pet name user. Usually just sweetie...or asshole or dumbass...sometimes idiot or jerk 🙂 Yeah I know. I'm mean...only when they deserve it though.

See when I say Boo it's more along the lines of "Wuz good Boo". Not all "Boo can you come here" or Boo, you know i love you-PULEEZE!

My mom calls my stepdad Boo all the time and it irks my nerves. I guess I really don't have an endearment terms...

AB-of course I feel bad for being mean

My words for him are generally sexy,sexy bitch and punk(yes its actually used when im not mad or anything)I've called him snookems before which got a really weird look from him and he started laughing at me😢

He generally calls me beautiful and brat.Not much for sweet pet names,the way it goes is im a beautiful brat and he's the sexy one as in a fake arguement type thing.I'll be sitting somewhere or doing somethinghe'll bug me with kissing,hugging,etc. and then jokeingly tells me to leave him alone so he can go top bed or whatever so gets called a brat.We're dorks!When we first got together he was king turd and I was priness poopoo.

I just call him by his name, but I'll say it in many different tones/pitches/or ways, if that counts

I get called: goober, goof, babe, honey, dear, my name, and lots of other stuff that sometimes makes me squirm, and sometimes makes me hot all over.
