Today, my boyfriend of a couple of weeks mixed up my name with his ex-wife's name. After he said it, he looked at me and said, "You knew it was going to happen." FML

It was bound to happen. It's only a couple of weeks. Unless he still has feelings for her I wouldn't worry about it.

Well of course it was going to happen - he was married to her. So he's used to saying that name when he's talking to his significant other - it's habit. And you've only been together a few weeks. If he's constantly saying it or still doing it a couple months down the road, or during sex, then you can worry about it a little. And even if it was during sex - once is a silly mistake - if it keeps happening, then give it a little thought.

Of course it had to happen. Sure, that doesn't mean anything big, because he was with his exwife much longer than with you.

It was bound to happen. If he was married any length if time this is new for him to be with a new girl. In time it will not be so instinct.

In China there is a very old proverb, 'If this can be tolerated, what can't? '

Hell - my wife and I call each other (17 years), our kids (11 and 10 years), our dogs (4 years), and our cats (2-4 years) by the wrong name. Sometimes, she even goes through every name of every other living thing in the house before the finally gets to the name of the one she's talking to. Sometimes, she even uses the names of our passed-on pets. If you're broken up over your boyfriend of a couple of /weeks/ using the wrong name in the middle of conversation, that's your issue, not his. Really, no one has ever accidentally called you by the wrong name in your entire life, ever?

It happens. I've been divorced for five years, and when I am upset, everyone becomes my ex husband's name because I relate it with anger.

Only if he's an ass would you "knew it was going to happen." That sucks, OP.

Who cares? If it was a wife and you've only been dating for a few weeks it's bound to happen.

Sometimes I say my husbands name when I mean to say my brothers name. It's not that big a deal. It doesn't sound like he said the wrong name during intercourse now that would be bad....

Should be no big deal. It was his wife, so it is a habit to say her name for him. Don't sweat it, it'll blow over.

That's really not a big of a deal. My dad has called me by the family dog's name.. Who is dead.. And it's not a big deal.
