Is it bad if i call my hubby "dear"

August 6, 2018 12:38am CST
This has been happening for quite some time now. My hubby has been calling me "dear" for like a week now. I just feel like this word is more like a friendly word. I just feel like have been thrown in a friend zone.

Calling you Dear doesn't show that you have been thrown in a friend zone. Rather it's a sweet way of saying that you're very close to him.

1. ask him why he started calling you 'dear' 2. after hearing it, tell him how you feel about it. 3. give him a list of names you prefer

I don't consider "dear" a "friend" word at all. It means you are dear to him, as a wife should be. My father often referred to my mother as "dear". For that matter, I have never had a friend call me "dear".

For me, it's not bad since "dear" is also a common term of endearment for couples.

I can't call any of my friends dear. I use it only for my children or wife at times.

Really? Because here such term is a term of endearment and it's being used by couples toward each other. But if you have that feeling, I think it's best to ask your husband about it.

It's a very natural thing to call your spouse in our country. If you do not feel comfortable then let him know

Maybe to you it is friendly but gor husband to have endearments to their wives are already a great achievement

I think it's sweet when your husband calls you dear, for it's a term of endearment to me. Sweetheart too is so sweet to be called by a husband or boyfriend. Maybe your husband is conservative in public, so he calls you dear?
