What does DH mean?
I see several folks refer to their husband as DH. So what does it mean.

I can think of something really bad or really good!

I guess it depends if you regard your husband as really bad or really good!

Dear Husband. That was one of my choices!

Of course, you would think on a travel board, everyone being in a good mood and all, it would be something positive and not the other one.

Wonder why none of us guys use DW??

On the Europe board, ira refers to his wife as LW (Loving Wife?).

Typically "dear husband." However, it can also refer to "dorky husband."

Demented Husband. Or, Delirious Hussy if he's doing the typing.

My Lady Wife is from days of Knights and their Ladies and I think that is a charming way to refer to ones wife. Shows a gentleman

TopMan, in your case there is a possibility that it would be Dreadful Husband, but I could be wrong.

Around here, it is just Darlin H ~

Thanks Scarlett. I'd heard the term but never knew where it came from. It had always seemed a little redundant to me (I'd never have married any but a lady!) but in sort of Victorian/Arthurian sort of story telling way, I can see it's appeal to some.
