Does anyone else have this problem? Or am I just weird?
Does anyone else get uncomfortable by calling their SO a pet name?
Does anyone else have this problem? Or am I just weird?
I prefer calling him by his first name. I feel weird calling him things like 'babe' or 'hun'. Plus, he already calls me 'bae' so... if I do call him 'baby', it'll usually be in a sarcastic way. Other than that, if I don't refer to him by his first name, I'll call him 'Steve' (a nickname that he hates with a passion) or something else relative to whatever we've been busy with that day. (be it 'derp', 'incubus', etc.)
I don't think that's weird. I feel that way about some names. I wouldn't call him babe or baby because that would make me feel uncomfortable, it's just awkward, and I wouldn't like if he called me those. I feel comfortable calling him dear or love though and I like when he calls me dear or a few others. Just depends on the term for us.
Nah it's not weird. It's just what you're comfortable with and that's fine. I personally love pet names, for me and for them. I used to call my ex 'babe' and she called me the same (more so than we even used our real names) and my current boyfriend calls me Princess hehe ^^
I'm always calling my girl "baby", "babe", or "sweetcake". Those are my favorite pet names to call her!
Babe seems pretty normal, if you're not used to it, might be weird for you.

No, he's marshmallow and he's staying that way lol. I use his name sometimes but marshmallow is always my go to nickname for him
I don't really like it. People have names. And they usually like those names.

I rarely give people I date pet names but like all the ones that they give me.
I think it's weird to feel this way, but I'm like that too. I want to call him cute little pet names like babe or baby but I feel weird doing it, even though I love to be called those things too
I liked calling my ex girlfriend
Sweetheart and darling
It was never weird between us
For me it's calling them by their name who's uncomfortable.
Yeah I feel funny too doing it but not so funny if I'm called a pet name so it's not just you
I sometimes called my husband hunny
