Oh, Dear…

(One of my coworkers got married, and a few weeks later he is still very much in his honeymoon phase. Everyone in the office has heard about when he met her, when they started dating, and when they got engaged through passing comments during casual conversations, but none of us has ever met her. He decides to attend a work party and bring his wife along. The running gag all night long is his overuse of terms of endearment.)
Coworker: “Darling, can you come here?”
Coworker: “Love, come meet my manager!”
Coworker: “Did you find your phone, sweetheart?’
Coworker: “I’m just going to run to the car, babe.”
Coworker: “Honey, have you seen my keys?”
Coworker: “Sweetie, can I borrow your phone?”
Coworker: “I can’t find my wallet, dear.”
Coworker: “Sugar, can you hand me that glass?”
Coworker: “Oh, angel! Come meet [Other Coworker]!”
Coworker: “Hey, lover, what time do you want to head out?”
(Eventually…)
Wife: “[Coworker]! Do you even know my name?!”
(I feel like I have to mention that she said it jokingly. They’ve been married for about seven years now, and he still prefers pet names. I wish them the best!)
