When we first got married, instead of calling me "hubby" she called me "hooby". So I started calling her "wief" (rhymes with reef), which lead to "leafy wief", and now it's just "leafy". It's become an inside joke and it's stuck.

My wife had my number saved on her phone as , and didn't get why I found that odd. I had to change it myself.
We call each other bitch, in the most loving way. It’s kinda awkward sometimes because we forget when we’re in public and people overhear us and think we’re awful to each other. My MIL heard me whisper bitch under my breath to my wife once and was probably shocked, although she didn’t bring it up or anything. I hope she doesn’t think I’m an abusive POS or something.
Have not ever used words like this tbh
We both use baby for each other.
Which sounds weird for some reason, when I write it down like this. Even though we’ve been using it for about 20 years now.
BooBear 🙂
Boo boo kitty fuck?
owner 🥵
Do you have to make the face as well ? 🥵
yeah
My love <3
She likes to call me Darling :3
She is my Ducky and I am her little Crow.
But in general we are Darling to one another
We don’t. Is it weird to be on a first-name-only basis?
No. Every relationship is going to be different.
Ghost 👻
Awh that's cute
Lmao
Biiiiii....
We both thought the Key and Peele episode was hilarious and we call each other Biii....
I also use "Love."
Not in a relationship anymore but for 13 years she was my snugglebunny and I was her honeybear.
I'm sorry for the break, but those are cute
They were, I miss it.
