Somewhere someone was talking about terms of endearment for their spouses.
Ours isn't the normal "honey" or "dear". I call Kevin "Pal". I can't quite remember where it originated from but I'm pretty sure it was based around the whole two broken humans, one of which was a giant bucket of bitter, situation. Something along the lines of "You're not my boyfriend, you're my pal". Said in total jest, of course.
The only time that I can remember Kevin not wanting to be called a term of endearment was in Blockbuster, of all places. Without thought, I called out "Kevin-honey" to which he walked over to me, frowning, and said "Hey, I know! When we're in public, how about Not calling me Kevin-honey!" A total sitcom moment.
So of course I ante'd up with that. "Sweetie, baby, honey" is what I call him when I'm trying to get rise out of him or if I'm just feeling sassy. (100% of the time)
What do you call your loved one?
