I agree #8 I call my wife by my sisters name sometimes because she was the only female besides my mother that I had lived with for more than half of my life. But getting rid of somebody because of a simple mistake is a little bit idiotic. But if I was OP I would think before I spoke and make sure I broke the habit haha.

I see your point now #8. Sorry for being a dick. I'll let myself out.

Alan to be fair... Turning the other cheek might, might have come off as smacking them hard enough to make said cheek red to #1. After all, the bible is defined by how it's interpreted by whomever reads it. But let's not make this religious debate; no one wants that.

It looks like a religious debate is exactly what you want.

#8 unless you're Kim Kardashian

#57 No one wants a debate here. People just tend to comment on my name because they think it is funny. I think they're funny. I have not gotten one reply that doesn't say something about Mary, God, or Jesus.

After a few weeks? Honestly hope they aren't living together after a few weeks.

#43 you'd hope so, but people do seem to be in a hurry to do things these days!

I hardly think that's an excuse to confuse names. It's not that hard to realize someone isn't someone else.

They have only been together for a short while. It is a simple mistake and does happen.

Most likely OP's boyfriend and his ex were together for a long time, as in many years, and if they have kids together then they still have contact with eachother. It is not hard to understand that he said the wrong name out of habit. He was probably distracted by something and wasn't thinking about what he said. OP's boyfriend could have handled it better though, like for example apologize for it. And try to break the habit.

For his brain, the ex wife's name is still a synonyme for "the person I share my life with". If this slip happened just in the first few weeks, I would rather see it as a compliment because it shows that he subconsciously wants to share his life with the OP. (Yes, it still hurts, of course...)

I do agree it probably was bound to happen eventually, but he still owes her more of an apology than that.

That's a terrible idea. Such a sorry reason to end a relationship. When the thumbing down of your comment begins, guess what I'm going to say?

30: "You knew that was going to happen" :-)

Hahha genius!

THANK YOU

PREACH! God, I feel like everyone expects everyone to be perfect nowadays.
