This question is really for the guys only (which is likely the case by default anyway as in the short time I've used HF it's become obvious that its users are about 95% men). What pet name, if any, does your wife use for you? What is the origin of that name? Do you like it or hate it? Does her use of the pet name indicate anything specific, such as she's about to ask a favor? Does she use the name in front of your friends or does she reserve it for private? (I'd ask you to be honest with your answers but what would be the use since--as I noted above--almost all of you are men).
Even as other elements of a relationship may remain distinct in our memories, pet names can fade from use with time, and memories of them eventually may become completely lost. My first wife and I had multiple pet names that we used with each other in private or around close friends, but not around family. I remember distinctly our more public nicknames that friends had given us, but I cannot remember the pet names for private use that we gave each other. We parted ways decades ago, and I never wrote them down, so they're simply lost. She may remember, but those details from the part of our lives we shared may be lost to her as well. My second wife and I used to call each other by a single pet name, but we no longer do - haven't in years. We used it as a kind of code name as well as a pet name, and most people who knew us in our early years together would have heard us call each other by it. I still remember that one, because it's a word that forms part of just about every log-in password I've ever had to create, and part of the password for the few online accounts that she and I share together. The numbers that correspond to part of that same word (four letters of it in sequence) are the PIN I've selected to use when I have to key-in four numbers, that is when I wasn't just issued a four-number PIN and I had to pick my own. That's probably the only reason I remember what it was, and how we used it together in our early years. I remember it, because I still use it every day, now decades later, but not in its original way or for it's original purpose. We have new pet names, but they wouldn't strike others as being sentimental ones. They're terms of endearment between us, but they're non-profanities that strangers might call each other when arguing over a parking space. They aren't insults, just very formal. We use formalities because we know each other so well - it's a kind of joke between us. You are correct that there are far more men than women using this site. Moreover, many of those who present as women here, or anywhere online really, are men. However, the assertion that men are any more inclined to dishonesty, or less inclined for that matter, than women are is sexist, per se.
She calls me honey. Pretty common. She calls me honey in any situation except when she’s upset with me. Then it’s just “hey”
She calls me baby (is n a different language) only in private for intimacy. I don't like it as that specific word in the language literally means baby. Used only to address cute little kids. She says she calls me that at moments when I am so cute. Which is something I don't consider a compliment LOL. PS: you think men are not honest in the forum or something??
