Today, I went out with my friend and her boyfriend. Not knowing him very well, I accidentally called him by her ex’s name. He took that as a sign she was still seeing the ex and dumped her on the spot. She’s now not speaking to me for ruining her life. I’m just bad with names. FML

Today, for some reason that is unknown to me, I accidentally referred to my girlfriend as "my ex-girlfriend." To her face. Needless to say, my statement became true afterwards. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend in a joking manner that he says my name slightly incorrectly. Now he’s mad I didn’t tell him. FML

Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend at a grocery store. We haven't seen each other since we broke up a few months ago, and when he introduced me, he called me by the wrong name. We dated for three years. 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.

If it's a similar sounding name, you can't blame him

Since it's early in the relationship, give him a break. Call him on it (nicely) if it persists more than a couple of months.

I called my fiance "dad" a few weeks ago. I don't know what is worse

It's not uncommon to mix people's names up though... Get over it.

That's his ex wife. ydi. It's only natural for him to accidentally refer to you as the woman he had just been married to a few weeks before

old habbits die hard I guess. If he has been married for years nd just got a divorce then dnt blame him for one slip up...now if he keeps on doing it he still has feelings for his ex.

Wow. Looks like somebody needs to get over their ex before moving onto a new relationship.

My dad's done this with his new girlfriend. Don't worry about it, people mix up names all the time.

I don't get why people get so offended over name mix ups. My mom often confuses my brother's, my dog's, and my names. No, they don't sound alike. Yes, she still loves us. Slip ups happen. A lot. Deal.
