Call my DH 'love' mainly. Also call him 'Homer' as it is our surname. Or just use his, uh, actual name...

sjuperwolef · 11/09/2011 15:45

ooh yeah forgot the more traditional names - darling and sweetheart :) and 'my pair wee babby/babba' when he is being pathetic wants sympathy

AKissIsNotAContract · 11/09/2011 15:46

douchebag gets used a lot in our house.

RoyalWelsh · 11/09/2011 15:48

In the beginning when we still liked each other DP used to call me poppet, which I liked.

Thumbwitch · 11/09/2011 15:52

darling is our usual
DH also uses Pumpky (short for pumpkin) which I have tried and failed to stop him doing for many years now - he does it to wind me up but I have given up caring that he calls me a large round orange fruit.
sometimes "Husband!" as his name is like mine, all soft letters and nothing to get your teeth into when I'm yelling loudly for him to come and scrub my back...

CandiceMariePratt · 11/09/2011 15:55

My dh called me presh ( short for precious I think) the other day, made me want to throw up
