The use of the Word "Baby" in a Romantic Relationship and Vulnerability

It's my belief that in romantic relationships, some people use the word "Baby" as an unconscious link towards feelings of vulnerability and the desire to feel protected. The mindset of being vulnerable creates an opportunity for another to honor that state of rawness (and fear), by offering protection and security. When the call and response are completed and answered via what is desired, oxytocin flows through our brains, by both Being someone who is trusted and by being someone who trusts, allowing for a feeling of deeper bonding and connection... By taking down our armor, we allow others to be there for us. Yet at the same time, taking down armor can result in what our brains consider increased chances of death... The exists of the risk being put into situations not helpful for getting our needs met... so ultimately we must use discernment in order to find those who will honor, respect, and help us along our journey of living.
