s/o how do you communicate with your spouse?

[sake]

He calls me darlin' and I usually call him baby or something equally as mushy.

[ElizabethBennet]

We tease each other a lot and we have certain nicknames for each other. I admit we can be guilty of the baby talk. But we have NEVER EVER done it on FB or around other people.

We also have lots of inside jokes and phrases that we use a ton.

[Deleted]

I don't have a nickname!!

I call him bucko.

Mostly we just laugh a lot

[Deleted]

We do have some baby talk, made up words and names for each other and our kids. We try to keep it all at home, though. I would also dislike seeing that show up on my Facebook.

[cheeseandcrackers]

i call him babe a lot, he says "hey beautiful". no real pet names.

[rex]

I have crazy embarrassing nicknames for him that I would never use around anyone else. I don't even use them over text in case someone saw.

We are very silly together and are constantly joking and goofing off. I am very sarcastic.

When it's time to be serious and normal, we have no problem doing that. I think we are pretty good at discussing how we feel and what we think.

I am not always the best at listening to his stories though. He takes forever and I am very much a get to the point kind of person.

[papie]

omg I am cringing for you, lol

We call each other B or Babe or by first name.  We don't baby talk.  H doesn't do FB, so there are no public displays of affection. 

Oh and he calls me Beauty sometimes. 

[wannabe]

baby talk?? really?

there's a lot of silliness in our house, too. as for pet names, nothing more than "babe."

Semaphore.

He has a handful of mushy pet names for me, I have a bunch of weird pet names for him that make no sense, we both enjoy trying to gross each other out and make each other laugh, we have eleventy million little inside jokes, we laugh a lot together and quote movies all the time, we're both very physically affectionate but we both also spend a lot of time in our own heads.

[Deleted]

We each have a main nickname for the other.

That's about it.

[gozf]

He calls me baby a lot. It's rare that he uses my first name. When he calls me "hon," I know I'm in trouble. I usually use his first name. We're very silly and very verbally demonstrative.

[LeggsBenedict]

fuckstick pretty much summed it up.

We call eachother boobs. If he does me a favor, I'll say, "you're the boobs, boobs!" Sometimes I use a robot voice and ask about HIS PEENOR BEEP BOORP BOOP. That's Legg speak for "I love you endlessly, and think of you when I see a particularly emotional sunset."

PEENOR BEEP BOORP.

[partiallysunny]

There is lots of teasing and sarcasm. He likes to call me pet names, sweetie, baby, honey, etc. I'm not really into that but I'll call him "honey" every now and again. Lots of touching.

I think baby talk would annoy the Hell out of me. I do it sometimes to H in a joking matter, but if he ever did it to me I'd probably laugh my ass off and tell him to never do it again.

I am so stealing your robot penor beep boorp schtick. I laughed so hard I snorted.

[lola]

He calls me Little, I call him Big. We're super boring people, but we are very funny to each other so at least that!

[Deleted]

He calls me Kitten. I call him Babe.

[Deleted]

We speak in endearing terms re: pet names - honey, babe, sweetie, my love. When he says my real name, I know trouble's brewing or he needs me asap.

[winnied]

Sarcasm and baby talk. It's weird.

[Deleted]

We quite the office to each other.


Lub yoy long Tim.

[Deleted]

I have a million nicknames for him. depends on the day. But he calls me babes. I love it. I melt everytime he says it.

[sake]

Oh yeah, we also are really silly and sarcastic with each other.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Lots of sarcasm and stupid jokes that aren't funny to anyone but us.

[pantsparty]

Baby, darling, sugar tits, punkin, etc. The only time we can each other our real names is when we're fighting.

[AlpineSlide]

No baby talk. We have dozens of nicknames, but most of the time I call him by his firstname, hon, babe, or honey. He calls me honey most of the time. He almost never says my first name even if he is talking about me to his family/someone else. He'll say "my wife." Not in a douchey "my old lady" or "The wife" kind of way at all.

[pantsparty]

Baby talk on Facebook = divorce.

[faustian]

I am the baby-talker in the relationship. I am not sure how this developed. I am ashamed of myself.

My nicknames for him are Babe or Liebchen (darling in German), or wooby. I'm pretty certain he doesn't use any nicknames for me. He's too serious of a German for that!

Mostly we're just silly and playfully combative. And I tease him all the time. He's just naughty.
