Question for the Marrieds

[LebamDawg]

I have been married enough times I don't call her by her name only because I get confused and use the wrong name. Things I have learned:

do not call her by an ex-wife's name if you value your life
do not forget her birthday (that cost me dearly)
or forget to have kids get something for Mother's Day (did that too)
or anniversary (so got married on April 15th - a day that I will never forget)

So yes I use other names to call my wife, but definitely not 'babe'

Heh. That’s a good list.

I always suspected many people use pet names as they are terrified with accidentally calling their current SO by their ex’s name (or whoever they’re fantasizing about).

I called her Doog_Du_Jour the other day BRB,JO

Real name only, no nicknames. Except when I called her "Woman" when my dinner is late.

I've lived with my Mrs Chuck for about six years now so close enough.

It's pretty dorky but she usually says babe. She says my real name when she's really thinking hard, angry, or about to confront me about something.

One thing she doesn't call me is Chuck. She hates it for whatever reason.

Ha! I had an ex-boyfriend that would call me “woman” when we’d bicker (“listen hear, woman!”) which I actually found rather endearing.

But if any of you ass clowns dare address me that way I’ll rip your nuts off and use them as hacky sacks.

My wife[/s] husband calls me baby, woman.

It's lame but it's what we? do.

Yeah good luck playing hacky sack with my dry, shriveled, old man nuts wom..... ah nevermind. They're still mine.

Let me ask you this, have you ever called anyone Swaye?

 

[Swaye]

I tried calling Mrs. Swaye my Prairie Buffalo once. It turns out that is not as appealing a pet name to a woman as you might think.

 

[doogie]

My wife calls me by my name. Sometimes she will inverse two letters in my name call me that. I am 50/50. I have about 20 weird names that I called her as jokes before we were married that have been shortened down over the years for use around our kids. We use first names exclusively in public. No one needs to know the stupid endearments we call each other at home. Babe is never used. We both find it cringe worthy. [/b]

Yes! One guy I date called me “babe” and it annoyed the fuck out of me. Especially because I knew that’s what he called his ex.

So, in your private moments, what do you call his ex?

That’d be the most action I’ve had in months.

Just one of the police officers that responded to my call the other night. He knew I was just flustered because you were violating the restraining order again.

I make it a personal policy to never bad mouth my man’s exes...aloud.

My wife knows to call me by my last name (what everyone during high school and college time would call me) in a big crowd and it's hard to hear.
