Should your Partner Call You By Your Name Or Through a SWEET Name?

I have this weird feeling that my boyfriend calls me "baby" so that he can avoid calling me with the wrong name. I am just so paranoid that he has this "other woman" hiding out there and that he calls us both "baby". So for him not to confuse both or us, he just calls us with a common name so that there is no room for mistake that will eventually result to a big fight. Is my theory correct if ever our boyfriends calls us using sweet names? or am i just being paranoid. Help me out here guys out there and please be honest.

They can call what they prefer to call.But it is nice to call by a pet name which would be definitely sweeter.Stop suspecting your boyfriend.If you feel that he loves you then you would be content with what he calls you. So correct your notions and try to prove that he really falls for you.

You have a point there. Sometimes, I feel that too..that's why it is 'recommended' you pick out a unique name for your partner. I used to call my ex 'cococrunch'. and my bf now calls me kitten and I call him puppy =)

I dont with other people... but me and my partner use endearment in calling each other, its just another way of showing our love. But to those who do not use endearment, well its ok. Love should not be based on how you call each other. Its on how you respect and love each other, its on how you make yourself worthy of the love.

You maybe right but you may also be wrong. If you think he loves you more than the other girl, then let him call you baby. Don't mind if that's how he calls the other girl because it will just give you a headache.

I trust my guy. We call each other mostly 'baby' or 'jaan'(life). I don't think my guy is hiding another woman in the closet because he is not tthe sort who would do things behind my back and he is there with me at every available opportunity. As the saying goes 'If you love someone you should set him free'. A relationship without 'trust' is not worth pursuing.

My husband can call me whatever he likes. Sometimes he calls my nickname, and sometimes he calls my full name. I don't mind it at all.

I don't have one, but i'll prefer being called by my name °° I find it more confidential than "baby", "sweet", "honey" or all..^^

My husband had better not forget my name after 23 years. lol. He really doesn't call me anything. He uses my name when necessary but rarely calls me honey or baby. We're kind on different planets though and don't see a lot of each other. If the ONLY thing that makes you suspicious is that your bf calls you baby, just ask that he call you by your name. If you have deeper suspicions and him calling you baby is just part of it, you may want to talk to him or look into things further. Lots of guys call their women Baby, Hun, whatever and it's just a sign of affection (in their mind if nowhere else. lol.). If your bf shows no sign AT ALL of being unfaithful, assume it's just a pet name and either enjoy it or just say you don't like being called that. He'll understand - or should.
