wrong name


Question Posted Tuesday February 24 2004, 10:59 am

I am a 25 year old female, and the other night my boyfriend accidentally (he says) called me his ex-girlfriends (mother of his childs) name, while giving me a compliment. Is this a big deal, I can't help but be bothered by it. He says it was an accident, and that it's me he loves, and he doesn't know why he said it. What should I do?

if he was with the ex for a long time it probably was an accident, still annoying!. and if he has access to the child and see`s the ex and they`re on speaking terms its just a mistake
but be careful if theres no contact between them i would keep an eye on him as she could be on his mind

Hey, I understand why you would feel upset over him calling you someone elses' name - but it might have been a genuine accident, especially if your boyfriend has a child by the other woman. If you feel really upset about it, then you should talk to him. Ask him if he's serious about you, if he really does want you and not the other woman. In my opinion, it sounds like a genuine mistake. Hope all works out.

i disagree with the rest of the ones that replied i would watch out for him and be in tune if he does it again bring it to his attention and say that is twice you have done tha would he like it if you called him by one of your ex's names i dont think so take care try not to take it to heart even though i no it is hard not too i would not like to be called an ex's name i have a boyfriend who has a child with an ex and if he called me stacy i would flip out well take care of yourself

give him a chance maybe he really didn't mean to
say it,but at the same time be careful and don't never forget a man is going to be a man no matter
how good we are to them.

Maybe provide a wee bit more info. How long have you a)known each other b)been together? c)when did they separate and under what circumstances? What is your history in relationships? Any trust issues? I will say that since he has children with this woman,she's(and they) bound to be a part of his life for the rest of his life. Please,provide me more info so that I can better help you-insight2020(formerly known as tommytony)

I wouldn't let it worry you. When I first was married I callled my husband a friends name multipule times. I don't know why I did it, I guess I was just use to adressing my friend by name and I accidently blurted out his name without thinking when talking to my husband. It didn't mean anything of course, and I haven't done it since. Your boyfriend obviously loves you if he is paying you compliments. If you love him, trust him that it was an accident, which I am sure it was.

Awww, hey its nothing to worry about, as this has happened with my friend many times. he keeps getting my and his girlfriends names mixed up, but we just laugh at it, and the more you show you'r annoyed the more arguements it causes.
try not to take it personally, and dont make a big deal out of it.
