So_Very_Confused agony auntwhy do you feel like you have to call him love?

we use HONEY, sweetie, darling... my gf calls her bf BABE all the time... my dad called my mom Bub

we also have pet names that we call each other so that when he's done something EXCEPTIONAL I will say "thank you Keeper" or when he wants me for something special he calls for his "Critter"....

does this bother him? has he said something?

fi_the_tree agony auntWhy not try calling him "dear"??

So when he hands you a drink say 'Thank you dear' It's not a scary as saying 'love' i don't think, but it's personal for the both of you.

Give it a go x
