Today, my boyfriend wanted to tell me how much he loves me. He said a lot of wonderful things, such as not being able to live without me and hoping that I would want to live with him and marry him someday. He ended his loving speech with his ex-girlfriend's name instead of mine. FML

Kind of uncomfortable, but it probably doesn't mean much if they were together for a long time. I still occasionally slip up and almost use my exes name, and we've been apart for 3 year and I left him and most certainly don't have feelings for him. I'm sure your bf is kicking himself enough. Just appreciate that he did mean to say those things to you.

Sometimes people mix up names. For example, I just had a baby, and sometimes I accidentally call her by her brother's name. It's not that I love my son more, it's that I haven't reprogrammed myself to say her name. I talk to a baby and my son's name comes to mind, because until now he's the only baby I've talked to on a regular basis. Does that make any sense?

He just wanted to make you happy, still made a mistake. It's not nice, but still, he wanted to see you happy, nothing more nothing less.

It's the thought that counts.

I would be offended too, but has this never happened to you before?? I've already called my teacher mom by accident in grade school. Also I'd switch up my brothers name for my ex's when I got mad at them...

shit, you got jibbed. i'd be pretty upset

Maybe he was said the same things to his ex. And he was trying to make it better in his mind. But effed up. hope you feel better though.. are you still w/him? hopefully he dont do that again

Those things happen accidently in life. You shouldn't mind it.

Take it as a compliment. This sort of slip up usually means that he's starting to associate you with the strong feelings he used to have for someone else, not that he's still hung up on them. It just becomes a habit to attach that person's name to that kind of vocabulary.
