Intimate nicknames: what they really mean

Sweetheart, Beloved, Darling

It’s hard for you and yourself to call someone that – not just your lover. First of all, it's inconvenient. Such nicknames do not just pop into the mouth. Secondly, almost anyone can be called that. When you say: “Dear, can you tell me how to get to such and such a street?”, you do not want to tell a stranger that you respect him immensely. You just don't know how to contact him. If your boyfriend addresses you like this, it is likely that he is not planning a serious relationship. He just calls you words that seem to express tender feelings. Yes, we know, you think that the word “beloved” contains all his most serious feelings. But calling you that doesn’t mean confessing love at all.

How to fix the situation

It is clear that if you simply forbid your spouse to call you “mom,” nothing will change. By doing this you will only remove the effect, but the cause will not go away. Therefore, if you want your husband to see you, first of all, as a desirable and beloved woman, listen to these tips:

Bring back your sexy appearance. Even if you have a small child, this is not a reason to neglect yourself. Throw away worn-out slippers and worn-out robes. Try to let your husband see you unkempt as little as possible. Buy yourself some nice lingerie and a sexy nightgown. Then your spouse will not call you “mom”, but in more intimate and gentle words.

To be “desirable” for a man and not a “mother”, a woman must look seductive
Take the initiative in sex. If you always remain a passionate lover for your husband, then no problems in the intimate sphere of life will arise, no matter what he calls you.
Don’t look after your husband like a child, don’t baby him. Otherwise, you yourself will provoke him into a relationship scenario in which you will play the role of a parent, and he will play the role of a small, capricious boy. Always remember that next to you is not a child who cannot take a step without you, but an adult and completely independent person. And behave accordingly.
Encourage masculine character traits in your spouse. If you see that your husband is playing “mama's boy” with you, force him to behave like a grown man. Ask him to do hard work around the house, remind him that he must provide for the family, help you raise children, and so on. Be moderately demanding. And behave with him not like a mother, but like a real woman - weak, in need of male support. This educational method works better than any persuasion and instruction.

Kisa, Zaya, Masya

Most likely, you are at the very first stage of a relationship and plan to continue it, but you still don’t know how to behave with each other. So it turns out: “Zai, maybe we can go to the cinema?” It seems like he has developed tender feelings for you, but he believes that simply calling you by your name will not be enough.

An objective assessment of a man who has known him for a long time

Some time after the start of a relationship, the partner’s behavior changes. He is no longer as romantic and emotional as in the first days of meeting him. The gentleman behaves more reservedly, devotes more time to personal matters, and says fewer compliments to the lady. It seems to the girl that the love has passed, the desire to see each other often has disappeared, there is no more passion.

When a relationship with a partner has been going on for a long time, you want to determine whether he still has feelings. If he still abandons his plans in favor of the girl, shares her interests with her, tolerates whims and forgives a lot, it means that he is still not indifferent to his chosen one.

A man in love, even someone he has known for a long time, will still help his beloved and solve her problems.

Such a partner is not afraid to start conversations about family and children, even starting a conversation about them himself.

Therefore, she must be attentive, wise and understanding.

By calling the girl his own, the partner is ready to restrain his emotions at the moment when their thoughts diverge. He will compromise. But a woman should not forget that patience may come to an end.

It can be considered from another point of view if a man says to his partner “you are mine.” Sometimes this indicates a person's tendency towards selfishness and a sense of ownership.

When a guy marries a girl, he believes that she has become his property and deprives her of the right to independently decide where to go, what to do and with whom to communicate. He's just jealous, that's why sometimes guys call ladies theirs.

In such a situation, a woman feels violated, without the right to privacy.

Such behavior by a man does not at all indicate that love has passed. On the contrary, he loves his partner too much, he is ready to constantly do for her whatever she wants, just so that his beloved does not leave. He needs her to be there and be his only, no one else’s.
