Did Your Parents Have Names Of Affection For Each Other?

[fmdog44]

Mine called each other "Honey".

 

[Aunt Marg]

I call my husband "sweetie", and he calls me "hon".

As for my parents, they went by each others real names.

My parents nearly always used terms of endearment despite their marriage being a source of great unhappiness to both of them.

 

[Keesha]

Affection?
No!

 

[Aunt Marg]

Affection?
No!

I can totally relate, Keesha.

My parents relationship was very hit and miss.

My father always called my mother "Liar." Which she was.
My mother always called my father "Stupid." Which he was - for marrying her.

Arguing is perfectly normal. I’d be more concerned about a couple that never argued however constant arguing and lack of affection is haunting.

My Dad always called my Mother his "Little Doll"
Every single night of their marriage, he would tell her he loved her.
and
I don't think my late husband even knew my name. He would always call me "Little Darlin'"

 

[RadishRose]

Honey or Hon. My mother would use Sweetie or Sweetheart sometimes.

 

[Wren]

I imagine my mother had a few names for my father, affectionate.....not so much

Why is it that rather than terms of endearment, the names ,which come most to mind, I can't type in here?
BTW, just to deviate a little from fmdog44"s thread. Did you ever wonder why your parents got married? Or do you know why your parents got together?

I know why my parents got together.
While they were dating around 1950, he got her pregnant. That was a big deal back then & he had to marry her. She knew no sane man would stay with her, so she had two more kids to make sure he didn't leave.
Me, my brother & sister were #'s 2, 3, & 4. My mom also had a daughter from her first (arranged) marriage in the Middle East. That marriage lasted 5 months. That marriage was annulled & she abandoned her daughter & left the country & moved to Chicago, where she met my dad who was a criminal defense attorney for big mobsters & making big money.

Did Your Parents Have Names Of Affection For Each Other?
They did indeed. Reminiscing, I can still hear my Mam shouting up the yard, "Come and wash your hands, boll*cks, your dinner's ready."

I hit the lottery when I was born to two people who stayed madly in love with each other forever, and I was their love child. It just doesn't get better than that.
I wish so much that all of you had been blessed too.
I don't have a memory of particular pet names for each other but the way they felt about each other showed every day.

 

[Sassycakes]

My parents usually called each other Honey or Sweetie. Please don't ask me today what I call my husband most of the time !

Learned to full story when hunting down my birth certificate....
My Dad didn't even know about me until after I was born, and my Grandfather forced them to marry...
They didnt last 2 years

 

[jujube]

I remember "honey" being said, but I can't remember any "pet names". They loved each other and I guess that was good enough.

 

[Della]

My father called my mother by either her full name or "mama."

My husband has yet to call me anything, he just walks up to where I am and starts talking. Around other people he refers to me as "she." Maybe he can't remember it. Fortunately my son calls me "Mom-o-mine" and I like that.

 

[Lewkat]

Nope. At least not in front of us. They were very formal that way.

 

[officerripley]

Didn't know parents even had terms of affection for each other. I mean, I saw couples on Tv or in movies that did but didn't know that was real life...learn something new every day.

 

[win231]

My dad often called our mom "Dahling."
Our mom often called him "Son of a bitch" & "Bastard."
When my brother learned the word & called me "Bastard" whenever he was angry, my dad would chuckle & say, "He's not a bastard. We were married when we had him." I guess he thought I would never find out that my older brother was the real bastard....

 

[C'est Moi]

Yes, they did use terms of endearment for each other, and for us (3 kids). We all had nicknames and I've done the same with my husband and kids.
