What Do You Call Your Partner?

[elli1point1]

quite frequently I call him 'my God'

I just realized, I don't really like to be called my actual name. I don't know why.

Suddenly this morning, a memory.

Growing up, my parents never used my name unless they were telling me what to do, or I was in trouble. Same at school. My dad never used my mom's name unless he was mad at her. My husbands never used my name unless they were mad at me. Now my son has stopped calling me Mom and calls me by my proper name. Teenaged angst and the requisite hating one's parent, I suppose.

I guess that's why I like being called something else.

Too bad it's not Rumplestiltskin.

Hey, mwy sighting!!

 

[BadAmy]

Little "..." Is a good one.
Bird...I like bird.
I like being called...baby, Amy, girl.

I always have a hard time thinking of a name for someone else... the regulars just don't fit...

Sometimes it comes over you, organically. Like an urge...especially in the heat of the moment.

I'm not huge fan of "babe", "Hun" or the variants - probably because of the people I've heard using them

I guess we're old fashioned using terms like "darling", "Luscious", etc - we were married in Greece and the Mayor pronounced my wife's name in an endearing (wrong) manner so I have adopted that.

I'd never be able to spell it!

I like your name, though.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

What I call them is dependent on partner, mood, and role. I wish I were more creative in this area, but I've yet to get any complaints. I do like to ask them early on what they like to be called and make a habit of using those names while adding in my own.

Using first names feels especially intimate to me (perhaps because I'm sensitive about it?), so I use those infrequently. I'm more likely to call them babe, or baby, because those feel tender and affectionate to me, and they're not something I would typically use with others.

Two paragraphs in and I still haven't answered my own question.

I call him his name.
He likes when I moan it.

 

[Scareltt]

[moonflasher]

Worshipful or worshipful master is an easy play on words around vanilla friends (he was master of his Masonic lodge).

 

[Bookishleigh]

Hmm, “My favorite sadist,” “Satan,” a special one just between us, and when I don’t like something “Sir.”

He calls me princess (I told him queen makes me think drag queen), little girl (he’s a foot taller), and Missy when I’m being quarrelsome.

 

[SissySalina]

My Love

 

[cookiecat]

My Love

 

[rlaflamme]

Baby Girl, My Queen Are those polar opposites? ……

 

[NaughtyWife78]

babe, honey/hon, darling/darl and freight train

 

[elli1point1]

not exactly answering the question, but I refer to him as 'my man'

 

[Joe_Bob_Gautama]

I’ve had sexual relationships with women in which we’ve had no pet names for each other; on the other hand, I’ve had nonsexual relationships with women where we’ve called each other “Sweetheart” and “Dear.” My favorite was one woman who called me “Baby.” But that ended painfully, and I didn’t wish to hear it or say it again.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

Today i was Sugar, and he was Darling.

 

[Bdm20]

Sweetie, hun, anything but her name. She does the same. Pretty sure in the beginning of our relationship ship it was because she didn’t want to accidentally call me by the name of one of her many previous lovers. I’m only addressed by my given name if she’s angry with me about something.

 

[Smoothshavendad]

I call her button. She just calls me daddy.
