Terms of Endearment: What do you call your significant other?
I know "honey" is popular in the US, and "hon" in the UK, but we hardly ever use those terms in South Africa. My wife and I call each other "babes", which appears to be the most common here, although I've also heard "love".
Please boost to widen the sample. :-)
Or do you start out with "babes" and transition to "honey" after marriage? My wife and I have been married for 16 years, and "babes" is still the one we use. 🤔
