Am I Being Silly?

[Saffy60]

I am a lady of mature years and have been with my partner for nearly 2 years. Having realised that all the terms of endearment he used for me , "Lovely, Sweetie" etc were the same that he used for his adult daughters I decided an exclusive one would be nice and began calling him Gorgeous...e.g "Hello Gorgeous how was your day", he started reciprocating and it was really nice having our pet name for each other. But recently he bought a dog...on the second day of her arrival as she came out of her cage that she was in for 10 minutes to eat, he said..."Hello Gorgeous" to the dog! And I was a bit put out, it was our name for each other, his explanation is. I am number 1 gorgeous and she is ..number 2. I feel sort of let down....which is probably just being silly!!! Opinions please.

Lemony do you ever shorten Butternut to Nutty like Giles and Mary from Gogglebox?

Gorgeous isn’t a pet name though, it’s an endearment.

Jessie, no never tried that. I'll give it a go today, see how he likes it...

I call my boyfriend and my horse 'handsome'. Not sure the boyfriend likes it..

Thanks everyone! As some of you have astutely suggested...there is much more to this one. I know I complain too much but can't seem to stop and don't know how much is me at fault and how much is being undervalued and him being generally inconsiderate. I have booked counselling for myself.

I call my DD age 6 gorgeous, I also call the two dogs and boyfriend the same thing.
I do have a special pet name for DD which she caught me call one of the dogs once. She gave me a right evil eye but forgave me
