What is your 'pet' name for your significant other?

I have had the same husband for 43 years... we have respect and love and commitment and great affection for each other...He is amused by this nickname and enjoys telling people about it. Do you have any more questions I can help with?

Let me help you. The pet name I give my husband is between us, except just now that I told everyone on mylot. A pet name does not mean my husband is a cat or a dog. It means that he is my love. It's more of a nickname and in America, at least, I don't know about anywhere else, we have lots of nicknames as terms of endearment. Most cultures have some kind of term of endearment that may not translate. As far as acting like young love after being married for 43 years, "Go sister go!" I hope I'm just like you later on. My cousin got married to a sweet person and even after decades of marriage, they were still like high school sweethearts. That's not acting like a child. That's true love and congratulations on finding it. Very few people ever do. SMILE If horia-profit, you don't understand after this explanation, then I am very sorry for you.

I just checked your profile. You're 16 and you're calling us "old ladies" childish! That's really something. Please read mylot rules. Responses intending to be mean or pick on someone are not allowed. We do not go on your posts and tell you you're acting like a child. Do you have a spouse? Why did you answer if not meaning to be mean or pick on the writer of the question?

Thats a good choice... saying 'Baby' in the right tone can stop them in their tracks!LOL! I feel for you... Hun works from HOME and I hardly see him! He does call, though.... I've found that, in most cases, guys say 'the wife'... it makes me a bit crazy (the car, the dog, etc!), but at least he's mentioning me! Thanks for commenting... and 23 years is a real good start!!

Well here is something else you can add to the mix...we renew our vows to each other every 5-7 years. We view our love as one of our greatest blessings and it give us great joy to stand up in front of friends and re-affirm our commitment to each other through all the changing circumstances we continually move through. So not only are we snuggly, cuddly Sweeties to each other..we are willing to shout it to the world. So no, in our experience marriage is a gift that just keeps on giving.

Where are those people who say that marriage is a thing of the past??? I want them to see this! I feel so good seeing these responses because I knew the silent majority was married and in love... or not married, but in love, staying together, and not ashamed to say so! My best to both of you 'sweeties'!

Thank you for best response. I hope the two of you and the two of us continue to feel this way forever. I think we both did very well.

I think its all just so wonderful... I have a friend who is about 130 lbs soaking wet... his girlfriend call him 'Bear'! I can't gag over romance, and sweet is what it should be... hang on with both arms and just LOVE!

Its wonderful that you can be playful with the one you love... and that you are proud to tell about her and what you share. You are both very lucky, and I can see you being together for a long time! Thank you for your comment, you've touched my heart!

I agree it's always better to try and see the inside of people rather than the out.

And that is what shows the affection in these names... can you imagine the reaction if we were called these names by strangers? When I met Hun, I'm not sure I even SAW him... he was just everything, all in one package. When I go back and look at the old pics, I'm always surprised at how GORGEOUS he was, and still is! How did I rate a guy like HIM??? I think 'love is blind' is true... and a good thing! If we choose by looks, thats all we get! Thanks for the insight!
