Status: offline 		Well, I've never been referred to as 'hubby' (and probably not many of the women here have either).

But I don't call my husband that. We're not the nickname type though. No 'honeys' 'dears' 'babes.'

The closest we get is 'my love.'

My husband is m'love online here, Sir at home (and in jest), and sometimes the cutesy names slip out but I really don't like them... cutesy names take on a life of their own.

If I use hubby, it is to tease

Status: offline 		I think we had a thread here about that not too long ago, and I was surprised at how many people disliked the term. I use the term all the time for my hubby, and it's meant as an endearment...I think it has a huggable sound. If he had a problem with it, I'd stop, but he likes it, which is all that matters.

Oh, and I use the term all the time. He doesn't mind it, either.

I don't usually use the word myself. It just sounds funny to me.

LOL, I used that to tease my (Ex)husband (do you think that could be why he's an Ex?? ) years ago... he responded by calling me "Poopsette", lol! It was one of his better moments ...

Thanks that made me smile - and to remember that there were some fun times in that marriage too...

But to the OP- I don't think he'd have minded "Hubby", but I don't recall ever calling him that.

Status: online 		Sometimes in their sillier, romantic moments, my dad calls Mom "Poopsie" and Mom calls Dad "Snoogums." Of course, they don't call them that on public forums.

Oh, and in case anyone needs a refresher course on how to be romantic, HERE is a good one. (And, to fit into this thread, see the section about pet names.) Enjoy!

I read that as you'd say to him, "Husbaaaaaaaaaaaand, dinner's ready!" LOL

I use the word hubby all the time on the net because I don't like to use DH and it's faster to type than Husband. I call him Baby IRL though.

Status: offline 		I refer to him online as my hubby or my husband, but in public I usually just refer to him by his name. I don't really think there is anything wrong with saying my hubby and I think it sounds nice when I hear others say it.

How about snuggle bear and honey bunch and gator guy all names he seems to enjoy me calling him at home.

As long the nickname is respectful and your spouse is okay with it, I think it's all good.

I always thought "hubby" was a cross between "husband" and "hubbah hubbah", which should be at least a little bit complementary. ;)
