he called me his ex-girlfriend's name?

Question

he called me his ex-girlfriend's name?

Answer 1

you can't blame him.

he dated her for 10 months. he's probably just used to saying her name, he probably didn't think you were her or anything. don't over-react.

just to be sure you should talk to him about it. ask him if he still has feelings for her and to be honest.

Answer 2

No don't be mad, it was an honest mistake.

Answer 3

i call my new cat rocky which is my old dead cat's name. so no. most likely a complete slip up

Answer 4

you should get over it. hes been with you for 2 weeks. he'll learn your name eventually.

Answer 5

it's a problem

Answer 6

no big deal, unless it's a regular occurance. people make mistakes; maybe they are just so used to using that name that they made an innocent slip- my sister calls me by her son's name all the time, and i'm 25 years older than he is! just because he used the wrong name, it doesn't mean he's thinking of his ex, or wishes he was still with her. We're human; he cared for her, his feelings are triggered by his current girlfriend (your sis), and he used the wrong word (name). Don't look for a problem if there isn't one. Does he treat her well? Is he into her? That's all that matters.

Answer 7

He's probably not over her! This could be a problem-but only if he does it repeatedly! If he calls you by her name again I'd talk to him-gently. Remember its only been 3 weeks after a 10 MONTH relationship! Isn't that a little early to get into another relationship(just for you to think a little!)

Answer 8

me and my bf were talking on the phone and he accidently called me his ex's gf's name too ! ( theyve been dating for 2 years )

i actually was kinda mad cuz that means hes either not over her yet or thinking about her !

but i got over it and just said everyone makes mistakes .. and it was an accident and let it slip ..

i think he made a mistake BUT if he does it again i would def. have a chat with him ..

Answer 9

Tell him how you feel but give the guy a break this time. Some times it is just a slip of the touge from an old habit just dont let him do it again.

Answer 10

honest mistake he still oves her

Answer 11

girl, if u love him stay with him and call him your ex's name while having sex!!! Payback!!! LOL

Answer 12

Let's do some simple math, shall we!?

10 months = 40 weeks

He dated her for 40 weeks.

He broke up with her 3 weeks ago.

You started dating 2 weeks ago.

He had one week between her and you.



Yeah, okay, so he slipped. Are you seriously asking us if you should be mad? If you are mad, be it. It's childish in my opinion and not a good star for the relationship, but if you are mad, be mad. Don't seek justification from strangers.



You should let it slide (as long as you are comfortable with it). I doubt he did in on purpose. Cut the guy some slack. If he still messes up in 40 weeks (10 months), then you might have a real problem.



I should add, it takes 30 days to form a habit. So, he still has a few weeks to make it a habit of calling you instead of her.



I'm sorry I'm coming off as rude, but truth be told... if you are this insecure int he relationship, you'll never make it.

Answer 13

Don't worry about it at all. I wouldn't be mad. When you say someones name all the time for ten months and than suddenly switch to a new name, it gets confusing. When you have to think of their name in a hurry your brain comes up with what it says out of habit. I would almost say take it as a compliment. The name is associated to how he feels, not so much the person. The feelings he had for her he now has for you and it just takes a little bit to give them a new name. I called my boyfriend by my ex-boyfriends name for about a month on accident before I managed to get it right. It had nothing to do with wanting my ex back, it was just that that was name that came to mind.

Answer 14

Ok this is pretty common...



He had HER up to 3 weeks ago

He's had YOU for 2 weeks so there was only a week in between?



Easy to understand since they had been together almost a year. Blow it off, laugh it off. It's not a deal breaker by any means!



It will make you easy to be around if you handle this casually and don't make a big deal out of it! Understand he's still transitioning over his last gal! Just be determined to be the kind of girlfriend he'll be saying YOUR name for a long long time.

Answer 15

It's probably not a good idea for you to be dating someone who just broke up with someone 3 weeks earlier that they had been dating for 10 months! I would be upset, but I don't think that it is the bigger issue here.

Answer 16

take in mind that this is fresh relationship, mistakes are going to happen. most of the time when ppl call someone by someone elses name it is in association with an action or emotion. maybe she ignored him a lot. anywho i would say that him doing that is not ok and you should let him know that it bothers you. if he continues to call you by her name then he probably isnt over her and you need to move on. but for now dont be too concerned with it. take in mins that he jumped into a relationship directly after he broke up with her

Answer 17

It may be that he's not totally over his ex- 10 months is a looooong time. You should talk to him about it, and ask him honestly if he's ready to start another relationship. If he seems unsure, or won't answer, then you need to consider breaking up. Seriously, you're too good to be the rebound for some guy :)

Answer 18

Its not a big deal. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and hes accidentally called me his ex's name. I've accidentally called him my cats name haha.

People just get names mixed up, don't worry about it.

However, if he does it often then i would be a little concerned, but if it's only once or twice then you're ok :)

Answer 19

Don't worry, it was just natural if you've been going out with him only for 2 weeks and they were together for 10 months. Don't be mad.

Answer 20

Yes I'd be mad! Sounds like he still has a thing for her. Watch out - he could be using you as his rebound, then go back to her. For all you know, they may just be having a long fight, then they'll get back together. Ask for his respect and attention. If not, you may be heartbroken.

Answer 21

I'm not trying to be mean.

He called you by his ex name because he was thinking of her and probably still loves her. I would be mad and ask him why he called me his ex name? I think your bf need a rest from a relationship right now.

Answer 22

I did that once and played it off like it was no big thing and my girlfriend completely bought it. When in reality it was because I was thinking about how bad I wanted to bang my ex again.

Answer 23

i did that a few times when i started dating the guy i'm with now and it was really just out of habit.. we've been dating over 4 years now and i have no feelings whatsoever for the other guy

Answer 24

He probably just made a mistake with the name. He was probably upset that he couldn't get your attention and he accidentally blurted the name. I'd forgive him. :)

Answer 25

No worries. Just a slip of the tongue. Did it my self more than once, with no emotional connection to the previous loved one.

Answer 26

I'd be upset yes. He perhaps still has feelings for her. Maybe tell him you need a break. Either way I'm not sure it will work out hun
