Do you think its ok or appriopiate for a female friend to call your parnter names such as cutie, etc whether its by text or to the face?

Or do is it just what people do?

I would hate if other peole were calling me names such as cutie, baby etc other than my partner..


wdyt..Is it okay or is it wrong? or is just some people like that?

Depends.

DP has a friend who always calls him 'darl'. It's just the way she is though, she calls everyone darl, so it doesn't bother me.

If it's only him that she calls cutie, then I don't think it's appropriate.

ETA:
I have a male friend that I nickname Sweet Cheeks. I can't help it, I've been calling him Sweet Cheeks for years. So I suppose I have contradicted myself.

No probs whatsoever.......I have an issue with physical affection....... too much of that and I get shirty and green eyed. But rarely say anything as I think I'm a d*ck like that really!

It would get my back up - and I know (from experience!) that if the shoe was on the other foot my DP would get his back up too.

But I'm sure to some people it would be no big deal, but to me it's in appropriate.

edited to say - I agree with baggy, if DP wasn't being singled out (but was a term used for a lot of people) it wouldn't bother me.

It depends who it is. Someone we don't already know - definitely not on. Someone he's known longer than he's known me, I probably wouldn't be bothered (mainly because all of those girls are married!).

I always say to my friends' husbands either,

'hello handsome' or maybe 'how are you, you gorgeous hunk',

and no-one is offended.

My friends speak to my DH the same way!

Harmless flirting (even that is too strong a word for it) in my circle.

As Baggy said, some people are just like that, they call everyone darl,love, honey whatever. So in that context, I wouldn't read anything else into it. But not knowing the finer details of her character,it's a bit hard to give an opinion.

Cutie and baby, yes. I would be very p*ssed off. I'd like to say I wouldnt care, but it would be a lie.

Darl? Meh...not so much.

Mostly, it depends on their age, and if there is something behind it. So to speak.

Cutie and Babe I don't think are very appropriate because they are a bit more 'intimate' sort of nick names, but Darl style nicknames which are said to everyone don't bother me. I think you can also tell when the person says the nickname if they are being generic or trying to be cute.

I wouldn't have a problem with it.
