Since it's Valentine's Day, and since I know no one will tell Peggy that I revealed this, I will tell you that I refer to her as my mustard bean.
Who can guess why?

My husband heard it once and found it hilarious and uses it now to see if anyone gets it...he introduces me as his first wife...He loves telling everyone there is no second wife because he is still married to the first one.

I've used that one too -- but now sometimes refer to my darlin' as my trophy wife.
[She is, I should add, the same individual!

Lois Wyse, a woman who writes a column for some woman magazine, and has writen a book, and used own a big Madison Avenue Ad agency, was widowed rather young, just as she was starting her company,(she had 2 young children at the time) for a long time, work and kids keep her busy, and she had almost no social life to speak of..
She attended some social function one day, and met an interesting man..they talk, had a glass of wine, and finally she told him "you seem very much like my second husband..." He asked.."how many times have you been married?" and she replied.. "just once."
less than a year later, they were married! i always though her's was a great line!
my kids were always "goops" from the book of manners (E.B. White?)Goops, and How to be One.

Just today, a friend called me "poopy-head" and informed me that it was a term of endearment! Well, I know he loves me, but  he really needs a different term, doncha think?

...he introduces me as his first wife...I used to introduce my husband, as my first husband. He said he was my only husband. To which I responded, "and if you are a good boy, you will stay that way!" He wasn't a good boy...and he is someone else's problem now!The man I am now married to, he is my husband. No ifs, ands, or threats!

Don't know that they're technically terms of endearment, but my husband calls our sons First-Born and Last-Born. Interestingly we've had a whole series of nicknames for Last-Born and virtually none for First-Born - a function of their very different personalities, perhaps. For example, David at one point was Davey Doodle, which became Dipsy Doodle, which was shortened to Dips. There are still others, but you get the idea. (And God forbid that David, at 19, should EVER stumble upon this site and realize how far I've spread the family idiosyncracies!)

A friend of mine every now and then introduces his wife as his future ex wife. Not funny when you think about it but folk laugh all the same. She doesn't. Neither did my wife when I introduced her as, "My current wife".

I've just been watching Hitchcock's "Suspicion" with Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine. Throughout the film Cary calls Joan "Monkey face".
