What do you call your "significant other"?

[Hot]

I call them by their name, because words like "baby" sound gross to me.

 

[Zeiro]

a lot of those cutesy pet names are so cringe-y to me

"dude" is fine, "babe" is ok but that's pushing it

 

[dizzy bone]

I rarely ever use his name, and he rarely uses mine.

I don't know what that means, really. Maybe you'll never start with the cutesy junk.

Haha even with my past boyfriends I've only used their names really, or their nicknames. I've gotten a lot of babes though and variations in different languages (which I'm fine with).

I feel strange using his full name, or any variation. Unless I'm yelling for / at him.

I just feel like there's a certain intimacy to having your own little names for each other. Like- to everyone else you're "_____", but to them, you're "_____". It's like having something they picked out to call you just between the two of you.

But we're weird like that and we're THAT COUPLE that hugs / holds hands in public. You'd think that would wear off after five years.

lol we're gross.

Dude is another good one

I shorten his name a lot of the time. He's more into the nickname thing.

I usually call her a nerd or dummy bear, or even sometimes Squidward.

He calls me Butt
And I call him Munch

Otherwise I mostly call him Handsome ((which is his name on my phone)) or Hubby.
...
Or just rawr or mau at him to get his attention.

Heh heh, I call her Squidward because I tease her all the time and jokingly say she has a nose like he does, but she calls me Squidward too since I play the clarinet.

[Titi]

I don't have one currently, last one was "porcinet" which means piggy in french, because when he was a little kid he was super fat and that's what people called him at school. He acted like it annoyed him but I know he liked it.

 

[xiaonu]

I always felt awkward using the common "babe" or "baby" I just can't see to say it. But I always use "bebe" or "beeb" because its the cantonese slang way, and it sounds cute. It's come natural to me now. ^^ To a friend, I just refer my boyfriend as his name or a lesser known friend as "my boyfriend".

 

[Carlee]

I hardly say my boyfriends name and it sounds weird when I actually do lol

I- don't think I've ever used "my love" seriously when talking to a person.

It's so dramatic. MY LOVE, WE MUST AWAY~
