I’ve never liked being called “sweetie, sexy, good girl, honey, babe/baby, etc” by anyone other than my romantic partner, and then getting in the LS we had an experience that made me realize I also don’t like when my partner calls our playmates by pet names either. So we made a “rule” where we just laid a blanket “no pet names”. I think I’ve realized why but I don’t think I care to “fix it” in my head. I know it’s a weird rule but it’s minuscule and there aren’t really any “repercussions” if it slips from a play partner. With all of that… I feel like people forget all the time. It’s not so important that I’m going to squash a good connection but I’d also definitely like for it to stop. What is a good way to explain how badly this small action gives me the ick so that people don’t “forget” but also let them know I’m not a psycho who’s gonna storm out if you accidentally call one of us a name? I feel like it should be easier but I feel like I either sound like a stuck up bitch or I’m not honoring my own preferences.
