Honey or Saccharin?

On the topic on flavourings, my DFD lecturer Prof Chan said thus:

Honey is a natural sweetener, saccharin is an artificial sweetener.
Most people call their other half "honey". But no one calls "saccharin". Why?

Saccharin is sweeter than honey, but it leaves a strongly bitter aftertaste. Hence if you call your better half "saccharine"... you'd probably get a slap in return.

I'm really so scared that i'll be like saccharine - extremely sweet, sweeter than normal in the beginning, then give a strong bitter aftertaste.

I still think everything's proceeding too fast. This past week was such a nice dream, from monday when it was agreed, tuesday at the library and the beach, calling and smsing during the camp, bought shoes on saturday with concert and friends, sunday at settlers.. it is just too good to be a dream.

And when will this dream end? I really dread the day when it does.
