I call mrs. dave hun' like a waitress at a truckstop would call everyone. it started as a joke but then it stuck. I'm sure it sounds ridiculous to everyone that hears me say it.

Yeah, gotta be careful there.  I'm friends with a couple who started calling each other "shmoopy" in a fake-lovey way as a complete joke when they started dating, and now they're married and it's actually what they call each other.

And thanks for the good feedback, SD, RD and others.  :D  Been feeling homesick for Kansas -- kind of done with NYC -- so maybe we'll all be IRL buds someday.

I can't do the sweet lovey dovey nicknames. It feels so cheesy. I would feel super weird the first time I said it. Like, how do you even get into that habit without feeling awkward the first few times you say it?

I call him Gooch when I am talking about him to gE people, but not when I am talking to him usually. I just call him by his real name.

What's weird is that when my wife and I had kids, we started calling each other mommy and daddy in front of them.  You get so used to it that, on occasion, I call her that when they're not around out of habit.

I don't like it one bit.

My GF's fam (its obnoxious to say fiancee) always told her that if we don't get engaged within a year of dating it will never happen.  They average 2.3 marriages apiece and I had to convince my GF they didn't know crap.  Getting married young may be fine for some people.  Knowing people like KK and SD and how thrilled they are with their spouse definitely speaks to it.  When I was the ages that they got married at, I personally wouldn't have been ready for it.  People thinking their personal experience must be some universal truth are idiots.

I have heard some people say that there's a switch in your brain and it's time based and when it goes off you marry the girl you're dating at the time.  I don't think that's true but some people say it.

Yep. Marriage, man. Sometimes it can be really rewarding. And sometimes it isn't, at all. Sometimes you're with the one you love, sometimes you just gotta love the one your with. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Amiright, guys?

I have a co worker who got engaged to a women who is on a "timeline", and had already been divorced so her timeline has been accelerated even more. He complains about his fiancee a lot and he just doesn't seem that happy about it, but he's moved in with her and for him that makes it a done deal. She has also pressured him into buying a boat (had to take out a loan to do that) and buy a truck to pull the boat. I feel bad for the guy cause he's a super nice guy :frown:

Nope, but I'm moving to your general hood and have come to understand that lake perry is the go to place you go to the lake and seeing as this woman made him get a boat it was just an educated guess.
