The words "my love" have been the source of romantic love songs and poems since time immemorial and express a level of commitment which my lover does not. To mention my love conjures feelings and sentiments of romanticism, affection, tenderness and love. It is true that the expression "my lover" has a more exciting, thrilling edge to it than "my love". Somehow the expression is more forgiving and many will opt to call themselves that. Often the word lovers is used when talking about an extra marital affair between two adulterers. You may even decide to live with your lover, but once married you will no longer feel comfortable calling your spouse my lover and instead choose to call them "my wife", "my husband" or even "my love" as a term of endearment. You can have an affair with a lover but never with your husband or wife. A lover is someone who you sleep with and makes love to you.Ī lover can be the love of your life, but very often the rapport is one of lust and passion and the relationship will eventually fizzle out.
