Terms of Endearment



I say endearment is one phase of a relationship that may or may not be present between two partners making a relationship work. One may choose to use a term to call a partner but one may just simply become casual calling the name, although actions would show much more.
You can hear words, such as sweetie, darling, honey, sweetheart, love, etc. which could only mean one thing, the presence of affection. Between lovers, the term can be truly endearing, but between casual friends, it can only mean some closeness or familiarity with the person being referred to_.
These terms could also refer to family, where love is truly discerning. But sometimes the throw of these affectionate terms can come as ironic or with sarcasm between enemies, to cover up the real feelings.
When once-upon-a-time that you were in a relationship, what were you called by your partner-in-crime, errmm, i mean your better half, not necessarily your spouse, of course.

Yes, it does! It is not mandatory for a romantic relationship to have a term of endearment, however, it does add "color and sweetness" to a couple supposed to be united in love....

....and based from my own experience, I try NOT to use the same "term" for the succeeding relationships so as not to confuse them with one another...lolz

In my case I have gotten used to only one, either "hon," or "honey." That could only mean the person is current..

Hi ta Jane,
I know everyone who calls everyone same so he doesn't get confuse calling one the other name. My one regret is not using an special name for my late husband because I love it when he calls me by an endearing name. I'm sure he would have loved it too if I did call him with a special name. Now I'm still doing the same. LOL.
Friends of mine call each other "makita" coz the guy can't pronounce "mahal kita" clearly.

Oh hello Che! it is good to see you back and commenting. I shall look forward to your postings come next and excited to see you active once again.

Sometimes out of intention we give our loved ones a term for endearment, not because we want their name changed but because we express this utterance of affection that may come out unknowingly..maybe, such was your case..it is true, most would just be as happy with or without a term of endearment as it may not necessarily express the feelings but would rather have this choice of doing or showing what is felt...a hug prolly, a kiss of hello and goodbye, even this sudden grab of your waist with a kiss at your face or neck..to me that is better appreciated...

That "makita" is a very good acronym, or short cut for out mahal kita..something unique indeed..

That is why the term is called endearing. It certainly adds flavor and sweetness.
