I have been married enough times I don't call her by her name only because I get confused and use the wrong name. Things I have learned:
do not call her by an ex-wife's name if you value your life
do not forget her birthday (that cost me dearly)
or forget to have kids get something for Mother's Day (did that too)
or anniversary (so got married on April 15th - a day that I will never forget)
So yes I use other names to call my wife, but definitely not 'babe' -
Yes as well as all the mushy names.
In fact it is a meme/joke around our friends on how my wife says my name when she is trying to get my attention -
Heh. That’s a good list.LebamDawg said:I have been married enough times I don't call her by her name only because I get confused and use the wrong name. Things I have learned:

I always suspected many people use pet names as they are terrified with accidentally calling their current SO by their ex’s name (or whoever they’re fantasizing about). -
Babe, hun, honey, sugartits...I don’t see a problem.

My last three significant relationships (wife #1, referred to as the "practice wife", long-term girlfriend, and Final Wife), all have very similar names, all beginning with E...all with the middle name Marie. With the girlfriend, she may have became wife #2, had I not called her by Wife #1's name once when I was exhausted from work...I swore she mis-heard it, but the names are so similar, I was toast. Occasionally, someone will call Final Wife by practice wife's name by mistake, we just look at each other and laugh...CSBLebamDawg said:I have been married enough times I don't call her by her name only because I get confused and use the wrong name.

Still in the present tense?!?Doog_de_Jour said:
Yes! One guy I date called me “babe” and it annoyed the fuck out of me. Especially because I knew that’s what he called his ex.theknowledge said:My wife calls me by my name. Sometimes she will inverse two letters in my name call me that. I am 50/50. I have about 20 weird names that I called her as jokes before we were married that have been shortened down over the years for use around our kids. We use first names exclusively in public. No one needs to know the stupid endearments we call each other at home. Babe is never used. We both find it cringe worthy.
He must have other, shall we say, positive attributes.....
