I'm easily annoyed by couples who overuse pet names. It's not intolerable, but after 20 years of hearing it be misused like "but baaaaaabe" or "honeyyyy, please"
when I hear it, I fantasize that they instantly fall through the floor
I'm no way alone here, right?
I don't think I ever call my girlfriend by her real name unless she's in trouble haha!
Good to hear!
I need help expanding my brain-bubble w/ one-liners one could use to subtly express annoyance.
Like: (to couple, preferably of same sex first) Hey sweetie, (then to other ind.) pumpkin, never use the same fork for both dinner and dessert. That's just inviting a colony of pimples to infest your ass(random chatter*).
I'm guessing you don't have a significant other..... cause when you really really really like somebody, those pet names just come out without even thinking about it. Chin up, you'll feel that way someday. I used to be cynical of mushy couples until I found my baby ;)
I never call my boyfriend by his name unless we're mad at each other or during an argument I love calling him babe, baby, honey etc I love it when he calls me baby, honey, sweetie, darling LOL its just affectionate words ! I don't see the big deal maybe its jealousy who knows
I like you. You, I imagine, are the type of person who is very understanding, and accepting, of others & their behavior.
I'd feel comfortable sharing w/ you my recipes on vietnamese cuisine on the half-hr ride back home on the metro; even when rehearsing the exact pitch in the noise I would use when I moaned so that my wife felt adequate in bed; and EVEN as I sang every song I knew from the backstreet boys in german cause you, my friend, don't "mind others business."
So enjoy your world my selective-hearing (or rather extremely tolerant)friend. Go on and enjoy (or ignore) irritation!
I have been called honey ,babe,etc in the past.Never bothered me.I's just a sign of affection and love.What's wrong with that?
I also hate it when someone says "babe" or "honey." I use to date this guy who called me babe like crazy. I was not fond of it, so I told him that I wouldn't respond if he addressed me with that word. It took awhile but eventually, he started calling me by name. I'm not bossy, I just hate those pet names!
idk i like it when i can be part of the couple that make everyonr sick how lovie dovie they are Hahaha but i get the flip side of that too.
Well. If the nicknames are used in moderation, I see nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, I'd probably be as annoyed as you are.
Err the word bitter comes to mind!! I think you are alone in real life?!
Yeah, I don't really like that either. I knew this one guy who I met at a party, now we're friends kinda. But I wasn't even dating him, and he wanted a relationship, but he always called me things like sweetie, babe, and for some reason I felt like it was awkward. I don't know if it was because I wasn't interested in him in that kind of way, but later I realized that when I heard my brother in law call my sister babe, how uncomfortable I felt.
I guess I just think it sounds weird. I don't know. I feel like couples should just call each other by their regular names. And actually, I was gonna put a post just like this one up. Haha! You read my mind.
