My Boyfriend Just Called Me His Ex's Name!

Описание: My boyfriend just called me his ex's name. I'm so mad.

Let's put it in perspective. How often did he call his girlfriend by that name?

They were together for a year or two.

And how often have you been together?

Three months.

So it could be a slip of the tongue, a memory lapse. It's like driving to your old apartment after work a few weeks after moving.

It's insulting.

And how many times have you called him by the wrong name? It could be worse.

I know. I actually listened to Adele's lyrics to Set Fire to the Rain.

Now do realize that a guy might make that mistake the first time the two of you are intimate out of habit. Don't have him for slipping up at a moment when he has no self control.

What should I do?

If it is a rare lapse, just say, "Honey, I'm not her."

And what should I do if he keeps it up?

After the fifth or sixth time, ask if he'd like you to wear a name tag. If he keeps it up, it is a sign of trouble.

That doesn't sound good.

It isn't. He's either still thinking of her or talking to her, which is why he keeps using her name by mistake.

Then there's a point where it means we should break up.

If he's constantly comparing you to her, and you're not his second girlfriend in his entire life, he's constantly comparing the two of you. And that is detrimental to you.

We all compare people to our ideals.

So either he's grading you by her standard.

What if he's comparing me to her and giving me good marks?

Then he should be telling himself how lucky he is to be with you instead and put her out of his mind, not blurting out her name.
