My ex husband called me "Sweets" and it drove me batty. It didn't make me feel like a wh*re, but the tone he would use when he said it made it seem demeaning. Maybe that is her problem as well. If she is angry about something and you say "Whatever, baby" it may just be p*ssing her off. Or, maybe someone she once dated called her these things and made her feel the way she does so she is transferring to you.

Maybe she thinks she is... She might be right, too... Who are we to say?!

Probably just another case of political correctness gone insane.

But...as stated, nobody else is in the relationship to see it, so you could just ask her why. If you both can't communicate at this level it sure as hell doesn't bode well for later.

I call my wife "The Wind Beneath My Wings." She always rolls her eyes. And smiles a bit.

Oh, MM, I thought of some more endearments:

Future mother of my children.
The reason I get up in the morning.
The celestial body I happen to orbit
#1 on my speed dial
The only page in my little black book.
The target of my heat-seeking moisture missile.

How am I doing?
I should've just read through the whole thread and repped you at the end.

I can picture that...

This has special corniness appeal to me (and not from SO, either, thank God.)

Simple, yet astute.

My only guess would be that she's bothered by the generic nature of the endearments. If you call her "Baby," you've probably called every other girl you've dated "Baby" as well.

Come up with something more specific to who she is. Girls like to feel special.

All through his acrobatics his tight rear assaults the viewer

Nonetheless, I love the man, his antics and his crazy screamings. Van Halen energizes me any given day

Well, you're a man...

One of the best front men ever, never mind dealing with him personally...I don't think I could survive being around someone like that.
