I love this, and good for you for knowing we have so many facets to our personalities that people can't possiby "peg" us without knowing us! My mom and dad ONLY call each other "honey," -- for 60 years. I have NEVER heard them refer to each other by their first name -- not even when they are talking to someone else. They'll say "my Honey." Even when they're pissed at each other ("Damn it, Honey!) And so, guess what I called my husband? Yep. And he's my ex now ... guess what I still call him? YEP! I love terms of endearment, too, but honestly never gave it much tought until you wrote about it. Love when someone shines a light on our everyday stuff!

*Just to be clear, this
*Just to be clear, this applies to terms of endearment spoken in a non-sarcastic, non-condescending fashion. By non-creepy guys.
**Just to be super clear, this applies only to appropriate terms of endearment. "Babe" & "sweet cheeks" do not fall into that category.
I love this, and good for you
