I agree with both sides.. is that possible?

I agree that is tacky to always call your significant other (or someone elses) hun, babe, lover etc. To me it shows a very immature relationship, like if you were still in highschool. Maybe once in a while in the privacy of your home. It is so much more mature to call someone by their name. I call some of my girlfriends 'sweetie pie' and stuff like that but never my boyfriend.

I also think that if your first instinct was to tell this girl 'back off, he's my man' then yeah you are a bit jealous. You can trust him completely, but sometimes you may not trust the girl who is flirting with your bf.

^ Exactly. I don't KNOW her so I don't know her intentions or what she's like, you know? If I knew that she talked like that all the time it would still irritate me and I would still think it's immature, but I wouldn't have been offended by it.

Jealousy is not a 100% wrong emotion
I'd say that you were somewhat jealous, but you had a right to be.
When some one is trying to move in on something that's yours ,even just verbally, it's going to spark some jealous feelings.
I think it's normal. If you weren't at all jealous I'd wonder how much you actually had invested with this person.

my two cents

Vitamin-X · #66 (**permalink**) Apr 18, 07

ahhh, I think you mean envy.
Jealousy is about what is yours whereas envy is wanting what
others have.

F*R*A, if I call Erik "Snookems" will you get jealous?

I think you handled it in a really mature/civil manner.

Good on you, I think that speaks volumes about the solidity of your relationships.

I call my boyfriend lover (in a joking kind of way) but no other woman has any place calling him that aside from me. I think it's important to establish where your boundaries are and what you consider acceptable.

Ok I just read some of the other posts in this thread - seriously some of your guys' responses are effing ridiculous.
Her concern does not make her 'jealous' she is simply defining where their boundaries lie and honestly if you don't openly communicate with your significant other resentment is bound to build up and it will taint your relationship.

She was honest with him and she handled it well, I think it's important to define what's sacred in a relationship and having terminology like that tossed around (in a joking way or non-joking way) is inappropriate.
