For example instead of hello or goodnight my darling/ angel/ sweetie etc he now will just say night night(my name).Thanks. Reply to this Question Share |

ROFL at Sageoldguy... I call my fiance 'shithead boy" sometimes...
we have pet names... but we use each other's names too.
if you are concerned ask him.
maybe he called you honey sweetie or love because he had more than one GF and didn't want to mess the names up and now that you are his one and only he can use your name and not get confused....
who knows... you really do have to ask him

I think it would be best if you asked him (in a casual, normal, positive tone) why he stopped, or make sure you have his undivided attention and phrase it something like this, "i really like it when you used to call me 'pet name' instead of 'given name.' I think it is special because only you call me 'pet name.'"
Most likely, he is using your given name because he likes the way it sounds and may even think it fits your personality better than the pet name he gave you. I don't think he realises how much you are troubled this. Please talk to him.

Maybe he's not pleased with you about something you've done.
Have a talk to him about this, only he can honestly answer your question.
