Ever call your partner by the name of someone else?

[SarahB]

Another thread made me think of this. My husband and I were both married to others for over a decade before we were together. Sometimes (especially during a "discussion"), we'll inadvertently call each other the name of our ex. Never at one of those moments, but we still feel bad.

1. No,

but we've been together 17 years. If I did, I would be in big trouble. ;)

2. No, I avoid addressing by real name for that reason.

And choose to always go with a nickname.

3. I'm still married, so I guess the answer to that would be no...

...I did do that to a girlfriend once. Suffice it to say she was extremely non-plussed about it. I didn't know they were sorority sisters.

4. no, but i've had it happen to me...

it didn't feel good at the time...


might have been an omen to me if I'd paid attention

5. "Babe", "Sweetie", "Honey"

I think in the 6 years we've been together, I've called him by his name about 3 times, each one a shock to him.

It's not purposely to avoid that but it helps. :hi:

10. I think that's why those endearments are handy.

Cuts down on the hurt feelings.
:rofl:

6. I don't have that worry

Thanks to the wild creativity of white bread suburbanites of the early 70's, :eyes: my last two bfs have the same first name.

7. No chance of that.

11. My ex and I pretty much called each other everything.

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. It's embarrassing, but I constantly call her matcom during sex.

I just can't help it!

He's just so.... dreamily manscaped.

13. I kid my best friend that his wife yells my name during sex

(we have the same first name ) :D
