People in love often call each other in a special way. Each given nickname or name speaks about the attitude of the donor towards us.

So:

Traditionally: beloved, sweet, dear, beloved...

If a man calls you sweet and dear, then this suggests... that he has certain feelings for you and seeks to show his tenderness in a similar way by doing something nice for you.
The only thing he can be reproached for is the lack of imagination and ingenuity, it sounds too banal... If a man, ignoring your main name and any other variations of it, does nothing but repeat “sweetheart,” then there are options for explaining this there are two verbal scarcity: either he squandered all his creative fervor at work, or your relationship is becoming too formal and it’s time to take measures to rehabilitate it.

Childish: baby, little, baby, baby...

Usually the choice of address in favor of “babies”, “children” and other things indicates a certain distribution of roles in the couple. The personality structure of each person conventionally consists of three parts: parent-adult-child. Accordingly, our communication with a loved one can occur at one of these levels (the intonation of communication, naturally, can change from situation to situation).
If this distribution was carried out by mutual agreement, then in the address of Baby or Small to you there is nothing but tenderness, perhaps a desire to protect, protect and love deeply.
But if you don’t like being a “baby” or a “doll,” and for some reason your partner insists, then such persistence may already indicate a desire to dominate and force a certain role on you.

Abstract: sun, miracle, happiness and other abstractions...

Psychologists tend to consider such affectionate nicknames as a symbolic expression of attitude towards a partner. This can be roughly described as follows: “You are my sun” - because you illuminate my life and it’s warm next to you; “miracle” - because it is unique and never ceases to amaze.

Zoo: pussies, bunnies, hamsters, fish, foxes and other animals...

If a man called you a hamster, this does not mean that you have thick cheeks and it’s time for you to lose weight. Such appeals only speak about the tenderness that he feels for you. Provided, of course, that you do not have any prejudices against pugs, monkeys and others. In some cases, the use of such nicknames may be a manifestation of sexual play.
Choice of more exotic nominations, such as lizard, giraffe, etc. may be explained by the desire to emphasize the individuality of this particular relationship. You will no longer be a Caterpillar for anyone, you are the only one, and the only one. And this relationship is unique. This is roughly what the man wants to tell you. The only limitation here may be your aesthetic preferences and your personal associations: if you hate being a hamster, don’t keep it to yourself, tell your loved one. He will understand you. And he'll come up with something else...

Official: Ivanova, Petrova, Sidorova...

There are couples in which it is customary to call each other by last name and/or first name and patronymic.
Last name and first name and patronymic are multifunctional nominations. Judge for yourself:

• This form of address can be used with a conscious or not fully conscious desire to maintain distance in a relationship.
• one of the spouses can use this name in order to emphasize the importance of their partner, for example, his social status: they say, sometimes I address my husband by his first name and patronymic - he is my boss, so let him get used to it at home, it’s nice for him, and it’s nice for me which pleases him.
• the surname can also be used to emphasize some negative (in the opinion of one of the spouses) qualities of the other half: they say, “Oh, these Sidorovs... However, what else could one expect from this breed...”.
• and, finally, spouses can call each other by last name, wanting to emphasize their partnership (husband and wife are one Satan): “We, the Osipovs...”.

Attractive: my-my-mine...

In principle, there is nothing bad or offensive about possessive pronouns. True, in psychology they are called the terrible and insidious phrase “signs of possession.” Excessive use of such signs of possession (my darling, my sun, my wife, my woman, my doll, my sweet or just mine) may indicate a desire to completely control a partner, in some cases, a fear of losing, a sense of possessiveness or a desire to demonstrate your exclusive right to own a loved one.

Tenderly rough: boo, monster, bastard, evil dwarf and other unconventional manifestations of tenderness...

In some couples there is an unspoken principle: the worse, the better. Usually the first reaction of others to communication framed in this way is: “Are they arguing? Problems in the family? Do you want to talk about it?” In fact, everything is usually much simpler: it is a mutual agreement, a personal code.
In couples that are less prone to such verbal extremism, the use of the nicknames Bastard or innocent Boo is a smoothed out form of dissatisfaction with the partner, expressed in a more or less playful form.
In other cases, this may be an accepted form of address (often situationally determined) and indicates a sufficient level of trust in the couple and freedom of expression of feelings.
Crude nicknames can also be used in an intimate context to spice up relationships and spice up sexual play.

New: buzyaka, lancepup, khryuhryundik, losek and other neologisms

The use of neologisms is explained, on the one hand, by the desire to put your emotions into the most appropriate verbal shell (well, there are no such words in the language to express your tenderness), as well as by the desire to individualize relationships as much as possible. At the same time, the element of play in creating your own language and inventing new words is very strong, which in itself is wonderful. Psychologists believe that when space for play is created between lovers, relationships live and develop. Without play (in all its socially acceptable directions) there is no life and no sense of novelty in relationships. Perhaps there is only one “but”: here, as in everything, it is worth knowing when to stop. A man is unlikely to understand you if, in a fit of tender feelings, you begin to lisp with him and speak in an incomprehensible language in the presence of, say, his work colleagues. Why - he himself will explain to you at his leisure.

What do diminutive suffixes in names mean:

• -points (Lenochka, Katechka). I feel good, warm, necessary feelings for you, similar to those that are felt for small children.
• -ik (Lusik, Svetik) . I have warm feelings for you, it’s very pleasant for me to communicate. I don't want to talk to you the same way as other people, I want to treat you as if you were a funny little boy, not a girl.
• -enish (Klarenysh, Katenysh). I have good feelings for you and I don’t want to communicate with you the same way as everyone else. I want to talk to you as if you were a cute little animal.
• -ushka (Sonyushka, Marfushka) . You give me feelings of worry and anxiety similar to those people feel when they think about bad things that could happen to them.
• -enka (Nadenka, Olenka) . I experience a whole range of feelings when I talk to you, because you are a special person.

I don't want to be a pussy!

Some people absolutely do not like to be called by any name other than their own, given at birth. Usually the answer to the question "Why?" the next one: “I am Tanya, and not some kind of Pussy or Bunny.” Psychologists explain this by saying that changing a name is always a determination of a certain identity of a person. At the same time, a person has the right to agree with the image proposed to him or to defend his right to the name given from birth: “No, I am Tanya: Man, Woman, Beloved, Wife, Mother, Specialist, Mistress... I have dreams and desires. I love and I don’t like it...I can and I can’t...Can a Kitty do all this?” That is, a person is offered some kind of image, but he rejects it: “No, I am exactly who I am, and you need to accept me as I am.”

• The sound “X” means sharp excitement (exclamations “ah”, “oh”).
• A sound "SH" on the contrary, it fascinates and attracts attention. In it it can much more often than in others. This sound absorbs attention and forces you to break away from other things. When silence is necessary, say “sh!”
• The second most common nickname is: sound "K". It is often used in affectionate nicknames: bunny, baby, honey. This sound focuses on sensuality, tenderness, and care.
• The third one is sound "L", it can be found in affectionate nicknames 50% more often than in others. It means that emotions overwhelm us, but we are not afraid of it, but rather open up to them. When we are in a good mood we sing "La-la-la", and when we are not happy with something, we say "Crap!".

Pay attention to what your lover calls you. Interpret his words and message correctly. Thus, you will begin to better understand how your partner is feeling at the moment, you will be able to significantly improve your relationship and direct it in the direction you need.

The relationship between a man and a woman has always raised certain questions. Most often they relate to personal relationships, preferences and desires. When solving them, many look for advice, resorting to book aids or the Internet - a storehouse of information.

One of the interesting aspects of the relationship between a man and a woman is the nicknames they give each other. Such nicknames are needed in order to express your feelings for your soul mate. There are dozens of them and mostly they all have an affectionate character. For example, some of these common nicknames are cat, bunny or sunshine. Each of them carries a certain meaning. By nature, it is much easier for a woman to express love and affection for a loved one than to do the same for a man. Since they like more specificity, directness and clarity. It is much easier for men to calmly work a shift at work than to devote the whole day to their chosen one, satisfying her natural desire to be loved. By his nature, a man will much sooner give a woman a pleasant surprise in the form of a gift than openly express all his feelings for her. Therefore, if a man calls a woman not by name, but with such affectionate words as “my beloved”, “my dear”, this indicates his strong feelings for her. For most men, these are not just empty and routine words, but what he experiences deep down. Many women, when uttering the phrases “my husband”, “my beloved”, “my dear”, most often express their love, confidence and tenderness. And when a man calls a woman such titles, it can say a lot.

In most cases, when a man calls his beloved woman “his,” this means that he has warm and tender feelings for her. Thus, he shows that for himself he has found the only woman with whom he is ready to share everything in his life. And that it is with this woman that he is ready to continue sharing all the most valuable things he has. This means not only material means, first of all it is his inner world, experiences and doubts. And having shared the most valuable things, he will be completely confident that “his” beloved woman is attentive to him and understands him correctly, will support him if necessary, and most importantly, will not share his trusted information with anyone else. Also, such a man, by his attitude towards his wife, shows that he is ready for frank conversations and, if necessary, will apply the advice of his beloved woman. In addition, if a man calls you “my woman,” this indicates that he will restrain his feelings for as long as possible. emotions and feelings at a time when your points of view on some issue differ. But it is also important for a woman to remember that any patience and self-control will come to an end.

Another important facet of such an appeal can be called a veiled request. In other words, if a man calls a woman “my beloved,” this may mean that he wants to receive more care and tenderness from his wife, and this should not be ignored.

Simply put, happiness and mutual understanding can be achieved if both spouses strive for this in the family. Coming home after a hard day at work, any man wants to have a pleasant rest. He expects that when he comes home, he will be able to receive care, warmth and attention from his wife. It is no secret that the way to the heart of any man passes through the stomach, that is, if the wife fully satisfies this need of her husband, it will be much easier for him to notice the good in his wife. For him, she will be the best woman in the whole world. And as a result of this, he will do everything in his power to be a good husband and family man.

But sometimes when a man calls a woman “mine,” this also speaks of another reason. Everyone knows that any person, regardless of gender and age, has a tendency towards greed, property and selfishness. For example, some mothers become jealous when their daughter calls her mother-in-law “mom,” or when she expresses the point of view held by her mother-in-law on some question. The same is true in the relationship between a man and a woman. Some men, having taken a woman as their wife, believe that after the wedding she becomes his property. And therefore, he does not have the right to independently decide who to be friends with, where to go, with whom to communicate, and so on. In this case, if a man calls a woman “his,” this indicates his jealousy. In such a situation, and unfortunately there are many of them, a woman feels completely disadvantaged, deprived of freedom and the right to privacy. This behavior of a man does not necessarily mean that he does not love her. Rather, on the contrary, he loves her so much that his love goes beyond all boundaries. Often such a man is ready to do everything to ensure that his wife is nearby and does not leave for some other man. Ladies often ask their friends a question - what does it mean when a man called me “my woman” and what kind of relationship should we expect after that. A woman living in such a family is often alarmed and frightened by the phrases “my dear”, “my beloved woman” and others, rather than being assured of love, care and safety. In such relationships, any kind word from a man nearby evokes negative feelings.

Very often, the true meaning of words can be recognized by the facial expressions of the person who pronounces them. The same is true with affectionate words. You can determine what is behind such words by observing the further actions of the person who uttered them and the one to whom they were addressed.

If these words evoked only positive feelings and emotions, then behind such kind words there is true love, respect and trust. In this case, the woman feels truly happy. The same applies when there is no mutual feelings and love in a relationship.

In conclusion, I would like to say that in most cases, when a man calls his beloved woman “mine,” this speaks of his tender feelings, love and warm attitude. But, unfortunately, sometimes behind the phrase “mine” there is a feeling of ownership and mistrust.

Baby, baby, goat, bun, pussy, golden... The list goes on and on. What does your boyfriend call you? Many people think that the nickname given by a loved one can be associated with his attitude towards a woman. Some people believe it, others think it's nonsense. If you are interested in finding out what his tender words mean, then go ahead!
