Some people find it disgusting to hear pet names, while others judge these "nicknames" among a couple as very cute and intimate at the same time. If you call your partner a pet (and meanwhile mention an animal), this not only brings fun to a relationship, but also connects you more as a couple. Therefore, don't be shy when your partner puts you a pet name.
This may be more beneficial to the relationship than you can imagine. But why?
It makes you feel more at ease with each other
As we grow older, society puts a certain amount of pressure on how we should express ourselves. Using the names of pets allows adults to get involved in the games and freely express their emotions. Both partners feel as though they are fully accepted by the other person as they are and are not forced to act in a "normal" way.
Meaningful nicknames make you feel more attracted to your partner
Pet names are a good way to evoke: love and tenderness from your partner. You only have to meet one condition to get this result: he or she must like the nickname.
It is a sign that partners are really happy with each other
As partners approach and share more personal moments together, they create their own special language, which includes joking around and displaying personal nicknames for each other. It is a sign that both partners are comfortable with the way their relationship is going and are comfortable enough to relax and be freer. This improves solidarity in the relationship and makes the partners feel a stronger emotional connection.
