Terms of Endearment

What term do you use when addressing your partner? I know some refer to their partner as "pet" but this rather takes it too far -

A couple in Canada have been fined for breaking Covid curfew rules after the woman was caught "walking" her husband on a leash, according to local media.

The woman reportedly told police that she was just out "walking her dog" near their home in the city of Sherbrooke, in Quebec province.

On Saturday the province imposed a nightly curfew between 20:00 and 05:00.

Walking a dog close to home is one of the only acceptable reasons to be outside between those times.

The pair were spotted by police at around 21:00 on Saturday, just a short while after the new rules came into effect.

They reportedly told police that they were following the rule for pets. Isabelle Gendron, of the Sherbrooke Police Department, told the local newspaper La Tribune the couple "did not co-operate with the police at all".

They were each fined CA$1,546 ($1,212; £893).

Re: Terms of Endearment

When I address my Lovely Cousin, I normally call her by the diminutive of her first name, or I look directly at her and just talk to her.

I've been doing this since she was eleven and can see no reason to change it now.


If I am speaking to her on the 'phone I will greet her with, "Hi Love, it's me."

I don't have a specific name for my OH, though I do have a few if I'm annoyed at him.

Re: Terms of Endearment

If my spoused tried to walk me around on a leash, I wouldn't exactly be referring to him with terms of "endearment."

Re: Terms of Endearment

We don't do bondage.

Just ...

Hi honey I'm home

Goodnight darling

Yes dear no dear

is the bed warm sweetie pie

and so on.

Using different endearments might save embarrassment when you might otherwise forget who you're talking to.

Once upon a time I was engaged to a really nice Canadian guy - but - he used to call me 'Honey' 'Babe' or 'Baby' - took me a long time to cure him of that!!
