Hi Killswitch :)...I too was unsure :( what DH meant, but after reading many posts over the past few months I now believe that it means Darling (or Dear?) Husband, hubby etc.

Seems it is most commonly used by Americans and as I am an Aussie it was not something that I had come across before joining this Forum.

Cheers, Mazzy

It means Darling husband. DD means darling daughter. It is use a lot on another site that I read. People shorten everything so it is less typing.

I live in America and have 70,000 posts on another forum and have never heard the term or abbreviation.

 

I'm also not fond of internet or text speak.

 

Why cant they just say husband?

 

lol

DH is five fewer keystrokes than husband. That is five fewer chances to have a typo.

DH is shorter to type. Common ones of this nature are:

 

DH/DW (Dear Husband/Wife)

DD Darling Daughter

DS/BB Dear Son/Bouncing Boy
