boyfriend always calls me ''dear'' why?


Question Posted Sunday July 24 2011, 5:40 am

why does my boyfriend of 1 and half years always calls me,''dear''? he just rarely calls me my name probably because he's older than me. he's 45 and i'm 31. or is it just a terms of endearment? thank you guys.

Most people in long-term relationships end up using some form of pet name or term of endearment, it's a sign of how comfortable the parties have become with one another. I highly doubt you have anything to worry about, if anything it's a positive thing. If you have a particular aversion to being called 'dear' then tell your boyfriend you'd rather he didn't use it.

Honestly, it's just a cute nickname that people give each other. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's cheating on you. It could just mean that he's really into you. Don't let it bother you, just go with it, and give him a cute nickname. Good luck!

I am having a hard time believing some of the answers here.

When you are in a committed adult relationship, you usually only hear your actual name when the other person is mad at you.

This is normal, and it happens with pretty much everyone.

I don't usually answer things like this, but when I noticed someone insinuate that it could possibly mean he is cheating on you, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry that someone would try and plant such an awful thought in your head... so I figured I had better answer.

After you have been together for a few years, you all but forget each other even have first names. :-)

there's 2 points of views on this.. he could just be really sweet and trying to flatter you. My boyfriend calls me cute names too like baby and honey.

But there's also a point of view that he could just be calling you these names because he might be seeing other women, and doesn't want the names to get mixed up. so its easier for him to call all the women "dear" or some other cute name.

I dont know this guy, but considering there's a huge age difference, and he's 45 and not married.. then it could be possible he's seeing other women. But i could definitely be wrong, considering I don't know him. Keep youre eyes and ears open just in case though! But it could just be nothing and that he's just a sweet boyfriend who likes to call his girlfriend "dear" :)

When your boyfriend calls you by name it doesnt really mean anything. when he says hey dear what would you like for supper hes saying your his and only his.
