or a domestic partnership

like, wouldn't that be awkward the first time?

you're the wife, and you're just sitting there... doing what wives do, and all of a sudden, your husband comes in, and for the first time, he's like, "how are you doing, honey?"

i can only imagine being like, "did you just call me 'honey'?"

or maybe for some couples, it's an agreed-upon thing, like
"do you think we can start calling each other 'honey' now, or would that be weird?"

...these are the questions i ask myself

If you're married and haven't used a term of endearment yet, why did you get married?

Similarly, if you're married you wouldn't get weirded out by your partner calling you honey in the first place...

I've got literally dozens of nicknames I use for my wife. Honey isn't one of them.

logically, i mean, if i've known and loved someone for a long time, and they started calling me something they've never called me before?... it would be a little bit weird, yeah

And you're asking a forum whose population are more than likely 98% unmarried.

On topic. I'd assume the sweet talking happens first once you get comfortable with each other. Then you get married and the sweet talking stays. Dunno if "honey" is a word I'd ever apply to someone though.

Yeah, but they're definitely a part of marriage. Do you expect your wife to just call you "Jacob" in a formal way all the time?

It's a mix of variations of her name, Ginger, and inside jokes that have developed. My name is Kevin, but she almost always calls me Charlie because of a joke that happened years ago. She's Chinese, so I often call her 'Asian', or something else like that. Relationships are weird, Verb.

Honey's too generic.

My parents have been married for 8 years and they just call each other by their name, albeit the shortened version.
My Step-Dad calls my Mum "duck" sometimes, but that isn't a marriage/relashionship thing.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
I came to this thread expecting someone to have said "Once you've stuck it in her honey pot". I'm disappointed.

When people get comfortable with each other they start using terms of endearment.

I call people "sugar" and "love".
