I can fix this.

Each time he does this, you both go to the jewelry store and he has to buy you something.

Remember, she already HAD baby Henry!

Make sure you run up all the credit cards in his name and empty the bank accounts before you contact the divorce lawyer.

I think he stores the information for you and his ex in similar locations in his brain and has a wordfinding issue when recalling them. Not something I would start a fight over, though maybe I'd tease him about it.

My husband and I have been married for 2 years. When we first started dating, he would call me by his exwife's name. Our names begin with the same letter) after many teary long drag out fights I thought he had finally stopped it. Until I saw an email that he had sent someone over the weekend and instead of my name, used hers. He had no answer when I showed it to him. He insists that he is over her, I think otherwise. Thoughts?

If he is not over her, then he's not. Feelings are feelings.

First post, eh?


(troll-dar on high alert)


Why were you reading his e-mails?

 

[Rylee]

Why is it that your DH hasn't figured out he should be using terms of endearment, "pet names," Hon, Babe, Sweetheart, Lovey, etc., when speaking to the women in his life? No chance of calling someone by the wrong name. He doesn't sound too bright.

Brilliant!

And honestly... I had a realtionship with a guy named Scott in High School ( my first love) and married someone named Scott.

My husband used to date a Mindy and I'm Mandy, and normally cant hear the difference when called by the other name unless someone corrects them self.

Did he have food poisoning by any chance?

I've heard of twins and triplets but never parents.

If I had a dollar for every time I've called my boyfriend (we've been together for almost four years) by my late husband's name (we were married 37 years and he's been gone for seven years), I'd be able to take a nice vacation. This Christmas, I actually signed two cards with my late husband's name (thank goodness, I caught it before I sealed the cards). Boyfriend just shrugs it off; he says it doesn't bother him and he understands why I do it. My sister, luckily, had two husbands with the same first name. No problem there.

Really?

What is going to happen when you are disagreeing about something important?

Exactly!!!!!!!

Strange topic for a first post on a Disney board, but I'll go ahead and comment anyway.

Just the other day, in talking with DH, I caught myself just before I said our son's name and his ex-wife's name. They've been divorced about 14 years and he's remarried. I would be absolutely mortified and super embarrassed if I would have said the ex-wife's name to my DIL. I would hope, if that were to happen, she would accept my heartfelt apology and forgive me as I do love her dearly. If I were you, OP, I just wouldn't make such a big deal about it. It happens. Forgive and move on.

 

[Dee77]

Is his name Mickey by any chance??? If not then maybe YOU have some explaining to do!!!!

 

[disykat]

I don't understand the troll posts, I think it's a perfectly reasonable problem, and one most people would not want under their own user name.

I can see why it would bother you. However, I've been married over 20 years and occasionally call my husband my brother's name. I haven't lived near my brother in 30 years, yet his name still comes out - usually if dh is pestering or teasing me.

I also occasionally will find myself writing some random date like 1983 or something when I'm writing the date.

These things happen. As long as it's not continual, I'd try to let it go!

Just in case you're not a troll, I would say don't worry too much about it. My DH calls me SIL's name, "mom", whatever happens to be handy in his brain at that moment. I have an awful memory for names, so I've adopted a strict pet name policy. Now if I call someone by their real name, it means I either don't like them, are mad at them, or we're in a formal situation involving other people!

Have you thought about changing your name?

 

[Baliezer]

Have you thought about changing your name?

Maybe change it to the ex's name to get rid of the confusion?

 

[mamasuf]

My grandmother had 13 grandchildren and would almost always go down the list of names - "Cathy...Debbie....Peter....John...." 'til I said, "Gram, I'm ____." It was a long standing joke until I started doing it too and I only have two (plus my husband).
