What to do when your boyfriend calls you his ex name?

Answer 1

You forgive her. I've been divorced for over 20 years and married to my new wife for almost 20 and the number of times I come within a hair of calling her the wrong name...well, I'd certainly need to grow many more fingers and toes. Many philosophers and psychianalysts have written about the persistence of memory, and it seems to be linked to the part of the brain where the old names are kept. Apparently, neurologically speaking, they are very close neighbors. I doubt, unless you made a fuss and a stink about it, she would have even realized she'd done it. Certainly wouldn't have been able to tell you why. relax. Means nothing, unless you are a paranoid.

Answer 2

Generally is does not mean anything- actually it is quite common as when you have spent enough time around someone saying their name becomes habit. Explain to her how it makes you feel however, realize she is most likely not doing it purposely. it doesn't mean anything usually. it happens only because whether you like it or not he at some point in time was on her mind alot and in the midst of conversation or even argument his name will accidently be the one that comes out of her mouth. i dont think it's anything to worry about, but if it's a continual habit for a long period of time then confront her and ask find out if she is struggling with still not being over him.

Answer 3

Nothing - it was a simple accident that can happen to anyone. I wouldn't read too much into it nor should you hold a grudge against her for it. I am sure you have said the wrong thing before and not meant it.

Answer 4

In this world there is something called a "Freudian Slip". This occurs when a person is unconsciously thinking about something else will doing another. In this case, he was thinking about his ex. Confront your boyfriend, talk to him, and just be careful. Another important aspect is when did he call you his ex's name? If if was during sex, be extremely careful, because that is an obvious sign of a remaining attraction.

Answer 5

It could mean that you are not over him, but it could also be because he was your husband and having spent a long time together, you are used to his name and it is the first name that comes to your mind whenever something unusual or special happens. You will need some getting used to. But if it is taking longer, then maybe you are really not over him.

Answer 6

It means shes not really his "ex"girlfriend and is probably cheating on you.
