Just one of the police officers that responded to my call the other night. He knew I was just flustered because you were violating the restraining order again.Swaye said:
Let me ask you this, have you ever called anyone Swaye?Doog_de_Jour said:
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:
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'
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). -
I make it a personal policy to never bad mouth my man’s exes...aloud.doogie said:
So, in your private moments, what do you call his ex?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.

My wife knows to call me by my last name (what everyone during high school and college time would call me) in a big crowd and it's hard to hear.
