A guy that calls everyone "babe"?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend calls everyone babe, even old ladies.

I creeped his ex gf's page, and in pictures, he called her babe too.

Like I don't know if I'm just being a child or paranoid, but that bothers me.

I have a hard time being with a guy that has so many ex girlfriends that he's probably treated the same as me. So what makes me any different?

I know this is a deep issue for a lot of people, and I've even thought about this from the other perspective; that is I've been in a relationship with a girl, and I wondered if she ever felt like she was no different to my previous girlfriend.

I don't know your boyfriend in person, so I can't make any sort of decent character judgment. But on the occasions where I did sit and wonder whether I treated my girlfriends the same, and what made them each different, I realized two things: Firstly, that yes! Each relationship was different. The people I dated were all vastly different, and we each connected in different ways. It would be an insult to those good memories to try and compare - comparing girlfriends to me seems heartless and cold. Secondly, it doesn't really matter, because I love my girlfriend. I don't compare her, I don't cheat on her - I don't even think about past relationships, because they are the past. She is my now, and my future.

About the "babe" thing, I advocate simple, meaningful honesty. Hopefully you are in a relationship where you feel comfortable talking to him about anything, so just ask him about it, and mention that it bothers you. Don't go into this conversation expecting him to bend to your every whim however - relationships are about diplomacy, and negotiations. Let him share his thoughts on it, and try to reach a reasonable conclusion. Being able to express and overcome these little quirks in a relationship builds a lot of trust between partners, and it will be easier for you both to be transparent and honest the next time something comes up:)

All the best for you:)

He just doesn't want to call someone by the wrong name.

Well I'm sorry to say, but nothing makes you different, if he calls everyone "babe" including his ex, there is something wrong, he may be cheating, or maybe that's his thing, try sometime to casually bring it up in a converstion, if he avoids it, or gets upset, you know there's deffinently something up or wrong in the relationship
