what do I do if I just called my girlfriend by the wrong name?

[Adam]

Oops :$

She isn't happy.

[gbsuey]

No....i can imagine she isn't. Was it an ex-girlfriends name you called her? I'm doubting it was....i guess you can only let her get over it. I used to take the piss out of my uncle-who we named sievehead-for having to go through the entire list of names in his family, dog included, before he hit the right one....i do it now with my kids/friends sometimes. Just remind her you're only human!

Unless of course you totally called out another girls name at a "crucial" point in time!!! Then i think you're fucked!!

[Adam]

I think I'm forgiven, it was an ex. But also shares a name with a best friend.

I was actually really panicking. But I'm not mentioning it again. Ever.

edit: it wasn't at a crucial moment, I wouldn't forgive myself if it was.

[gbsuey]

Never mentioning it again=good plan!! Keep focused Adam!!!!!

Sometimes a person has to convince themselves that even though your girlfriends name is Sheila, you have to start calling her Wendy.

It is a survival thing, I could never do no harm to Sheila, I love her and part of the reason I suggested we go on that remote ski trip was to confess my love to her from an elevation above 10,000 ft. That's why I purchased the diamond ring and packed my ukulele. To sing my engagement song just before we plunge down that slippery slope!

But as fate would have it a horrible blizzard changed what was a beautiful day into a fight for our very lives. Sheila and I had both succumbed to being stuck on that icy mountain until search parties could find us. We built an ice/snow cave/tunnel to ward off the horrible wind and chill. The ukulele turned into a shovel, clearing our shelter every other hour... then it happened, 36 hours into our thrills turned nightmare jaunt, Sheila broke her leg, I dragged her into the ice/cave and we finished the last of our crackers, wine and cheese I so meagerly packed.

I used up all but one flare... the storm still howling and no food left our options became desperate. I kept telling Sheila how sorry I was and what a fool I am to go to such lengths for love... trying anything to keep her spirits up.. but Sheila became unconscious and I was now starving and hallucinating.

The last thing I remember on that mountain was coming to and seeing Sheila barely alive and all Frosty. My mind began to play tricks on me and I started calling her Wendy's.

I woke up in the ICU at Harborview surrounded by family and doctors, no one could figure out how I survived 10 days on that mountain during a blizzard, sadly Sheila was never found. Every time I drive by a Wendy's Sheila's spirit flashes before me and I hear ukulele music.

my ex-husband's name is Robert. my ex-fiance's name is Rocky. I never once slipped. Come close though!

Within the first year of my relationship, my man called me by his exes name twice. Both times, she was the topic of conversation only moments before. He was with her 7 years. My name is Crystal, her name is Kelly.

Of course I wasn't happy, but in the end it's not like he said it during sex. Also it's a very silly girl thing to say, but I know I rule a lot more than she does (and it doesn't hurt that I have bigger tits).

So whatever.

[Adam]

I think a bigger problem was that it was close enough after sex but the name is also the same as one of my best friends where the topic of conversation (which was tea in this case) is strongly associated with her for me.

Anyway, I find myself saying to myself "don't say ..., don't say ..." which then I think makes me want to say it more because I'm thinking about it. I think I'm more screwed up after the incident that my gf is.

Anyway, in the mean time we have moved cities together (in London now y'all) which she hasn't backed out of so I think she acknowledges the mistake for what it was - a mistake but I do wonder if she thinks about this as much as I do, but how can I ask her!!!?!

Oh, and also when I mention my friends I can't say the name to her, I'm just saying "my friends" as I'm going to go oop north next week to see them which to me if I view myself as an observer then it's almost as if I am covering something up... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...

man, I have too much pointless anxiety in my head. I need a job.

Your post echoes something in me.

Not being able to say:

It's a mistake, then another mistake and since I can't tell it, it leads to other mistakes.

[fonky pizza]

Btw, calling people by other peoples' names is getting old!:cool:

[like2_drink]

Tell her you were playing rodeo (dry-rodeo).

It's usually a sex game, do a girl doggy style and call her by the wrong name, see how long you can hold on before she bucks you off :D

[Helvete]

I always thought it weird people who call any name during sex? Like wtf, are you having a conversation?
