It can also mean dumb husband
Generally, dh is used as a term of enderment & not meant any offense. Like, for example "Dh got the wrong cat littler today!"

Uuuummmm, I believe it is USUALLY for Dear Husband, but Dopey Husband, or something of that nature, may apply, when some people are posting!!!

I always thought it meant 'Dear Husband'. That's how I've been using it, anyway.

I had only seen the term DH used here when I first saw it and for a while, I also thought it stood for "dumb husband".

Usually "dear husband". But sometimes "darling husband" or "dopey husband" or "dingbat husband" or "d*** husband"...

Maybe this is why I'm still single.

For those who find "dh" or "dw" objectionable, be happy you're not a German speaker. On many German-language sites, one's spouse/s.o. is referred to as "NG", which stands for "Nebengeräusch", best translated as "static" or "background noise". When my husband complains about the time I spend here, I tell him he should be glad that I refer to him as "hubby", rather than "static".

Thanks for the explaination guys.

But if you were using "DH" for a girl, then would it be
Dear Honey? Darling Hon? or maybe Delightful Hottie?

Just wondering.
