What are some sweet names and compliments you can give your man?

Answer 1

Names are generally a colloquial thing. Like in the South, we might say Sugar, Honey, or Darlin'. Most men respond well to similar moniker applied to women, like Baby/Babe, Sweetie, and Love. The common factor is the affection and familiarity involved; if you're looking for something to specifically call YOUR partner, that'll take creativity. My sister's nickname via her husband is Swa for Sweetest Woman Around.

Compliments are more concrete, and I think, most importantly, you can't hesitate to throw them out. If he's good at a video game, just notice and remark upon it. He's started working out again? Reinforcement, say it looks like it's started taking effect or he's looking more toned. Whatever he does that you enjoy or appreciate, even if only in a very visceral way, like the video game scenario. Speaking as someone who loves playing Video Games, try to have him introduce you to them, if only once in a while. It promotes togetherness and, provided he doesn't have a raid or operation with his guild/unit planned, he'll enjoy the effort and process(don't worry about your character dying, but do make as many panicked, hysterical noises as possible while doing so; he'll find it hilarious).
