This is mostly in reference to the latest virus, I suppose, but it's also something I've noticed a lot on the community in general. Isn't there anyone here who doesn't refer to their significant other as "my love", or some variation of the phrase? Doesn't that seem to be... oh, I don't know, overkill? Not to mention overly flowery and sickeningly sweet.

I know at least some of you must agree with me.

...To the person they are supposed to be with. Of course, I'm sure there are exceptions.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

Or perhaps pet names are only a way to make up for what one party is incapable of giving to the other.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's a name. That's hardly a way to "make up" for anything.

[falselineage.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Are you speaking from experience?

[falselineage.livejournal.com]

Only from what I've observed.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[falselineage.livejournal.com]

But enough of that. I've reduced myself to rambling.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It was on-topic, at least.

[falselineage.livejournal.com]

A fair point.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Exactly.
