Does your husband call you by your first name or does he use a term of endearment?

[Magpie]

I'm "Sweetie". Or, if he wants something, it's "Sweeeetie..."

I only get called by my name when DH is annoyed with me. It is usually Honey. We have been married almost 17 years and we also call eachother Mom and Dad because of the kids. I used to think it was funny when my parents did that but when I met my DH parents they did that too. On my really clutsy days I get called Gladiola!

 

[MushyMushy]

We have never used terms of endearment with each other. It would feel really odd if we started! He does call me Mushy occasionally, and always writes cards out to Mushy. I think that's how he has me in his phone too.

If DH uses my real name I know he's aggrevated or the Jahovas have come knocking and he wants me to deal with them.

I used to call DH dear most of the time. Until one night when we were driving through the country and I saw a deer close to the road.To warn him I said "deer". Does DH slow down? Nope. He looks at me and says "what" . Thankfully the deer was smarter than DH and I and stayed off the road.

This is pretty funny. I read this thread and couldn't even recall what my DH calls me! I asked my DS and he says his dad calls me "Rach" (shortened version of my name) or "hon". I do recall some "hey babes" thrown out sometimes as well when he wants something.

I rarely call him by his name either, come to think of it. Mostly "babe" or "hon" too. Guess that's our names for each other!

 

[beccab]

My DH calls me "P" which is shortened from "PC" my initials before we got married. We met on a job where we had to use our initials to sign off on things. I just call him by his name. We have never had terms of endearment for each other. Even "DH" seems funny to me. Not something I would ever say.

DH and I have a lot of names of endearment and different forms of our names that we call each other. Each one has a purpose, too, kind of like our own language after so many years of being married.

For example, when he calls me "cupcake" I'm really not being endearing to him, he's being rather sarcastic. When he calls me "peach", I'm being clumsy (got that from Caddyshack, when Mr. Havacamp tells Mrs. Havacamp "That's a peach, hon!")

We use "cupcake" as our sarcastic pet name too. lol

DBF calls me Sweetums or Babe, I get the occasional Hon and the rare Kerri but it's very rare he calls me by name. My BFF is Carrie, I'm Kerri, when we go places together he says "Carrie" to my BFF and I never respond. LOL I'm in his phone as Sweetums.

He's Babe to me, sometimes I call him by name but not often, it's usually Babe, sometimes Honey or Schmoopsie-Poo.

 

[FayeW]

For years we always called each other Bunny, or Bun. One day I said to him "There, there, Buttercup", because he was being ridiculous about something, and that kind of stuck.

Mostly he calls me Gretchen. Full name is Gretchen Von Crabbyass. Sometimes he calls me Mrs. Crabapple (the teacher on The Simpsons) We also call each other Mr/Mrs Crab (Spongebob)

 

[Belle0101]

I too asked my husband once if he even knew my name. It's always "dear". Doesn't matter where we are - at home or out and about.

And honestly it bugs me every single time.

 

[lulubelle]

DH always called me Hon or Babe. In over 20 years I honestly don't remember him ever calling me Linda.
I called him Handsome or Daddy. Sometimes his name - Chris.

 

[candykisses]

We call each other Baby, Babe or Honey, Hon.

If he calls me Candy, then I know he isn't happy about something.

We've been married for 30 years and he still refers to me as his bride.

 

[liamsaunt]

My DH and I call each other "G." It's actually G for "goober." As in "you are such a goober!" We used to say that a lot when we started dating and it stuck. What can I say, we started dating young. Everyone--family and friends, calls us "The Gs."

18 years for us

 

[Saphire]

I never liked the terms honey, babe, sweetheart, etc., and requested a loooong time ago that he didn't use them. I simply love to hear him call me by name, and still do.

 

[Kellydelly]

My husband only uses my name when he introduces me to someone or is talking about me, otherwise it's a term of endearment. I call him his name and lots of other things .

 

[cm8]

my husband uses my nicknames, I won't list them on the dis because they are just that special to me

 

[suejai]

I'm "Sweetie". Or, if he wants something, it's "Sweeeetie..."

This is what DH and I call each other as well.
He uses my name when referring to me or when he has been calling me for a while and I haven't heard him and he's frustrated.

I call DH sweetie as well, but I use his name more often than he uses mine.

 

[MomofKatie]

I used to call DH dear most of the time. Until one night when we were driving through the country and I saw a deer close to the road.To warn him I said "deer". Does DH slow down? Nope. He looks at me and says "what" . Thankfully the deer was smarter than DH and I and stayed off the road.

That happened to us, too!! Except I NEVER call DH "dear". But he heard me say it and said, "What, Pook?" I grabbed his leg and shrieked "DEER!!" He figured it out then. Lucky for us (and the deer), there was no collision.

Funniest thing, this was in the middle of a busy suburb- we were getting ready to turn into a large shopping center here in Charlotte. The deer just appeared out of nowhere and stood in the middle of the entrance!! I have never seen another deer since then anywhere near there.

 

[AKL_Megs]

Mostly, we call each other by our names.

We have a few nicknames, but no cutesy petnames, and no "honey", "dear", or "babe" names.

 

[NHdisneylover]

Mine nearly always calls me by my name. He says Girlie Girl maybe 1% of the time. I call him David (everyone else says Dave) or sometimes My Love.

 

[MoniqueU]

I never really thought about it but I know for certain he calls me by my name when he is ticked!! He often uses a term of endearment for me and my daughterss but not my son? Must be a guy thing but I don't find it annoying or a put down. He never uses my nickname and neither does my mother.
