Guys, What endearments do you use with your SO as opposed to your "just friends" and acquaintances?

Folks are so quick to share endearments today, but I was raised to be more conservative and save endearing terms for people who are a meaningful presence in my life...

What terms (e. g., sweetie, dear, etc.) do you only use for your SO as opposed to anyone who falls in your friends/acquaintances categories?

I'm pretty typical. I just usually call my partner "babe". It feels better than calling them by their name and I prefer they call me that as well rather than my name. They can call me whatever as long as it's not my name 😂 Babe, baby, honey. I'm okay with my name being used as long as they use a sweet tone though.

Im not sure i was raised that way but I dont use my tags of endearment for the unendeared. I always thought if you were becoming important to me , and say I started calling you darling, what would you think if youd heard me call everyone else the same.

Ms. Helen is Sweetie, Dear, and Honey. No one else.

To my friends, it's just theit names or buddy. To my wife, it's sweetie, sweetheart, baby girl, baby, and of course her name.

I call my wife Sweetheart.
