to be upset that he keeps calling me by another woman's name?

[KatieWatie]

This isn't my DH but my best friend (a male, I'm female).

I've known him for 5 years. He's been with his gf for just under a year now and persistantly calls me by her name, especially when we're arguing. They begin with the same letter but is it really that hard to differentiate?

I find it so insulting, like he can't be bothered realising that he's now spending time with me instead of her and we're just interchangeable people. I have never EVER called him by my DH's name...

I never made a fuss about it because I thought he would get out of the habit once their relationship bedded in, but we've fallen out over some other stuff and I threw it in there at him whilst I was hurling insults (might as well, right?).

Is it a man thing? And would you be upset if this happened continually, or should I just accept it and ignore it?

:o
Sally's a nice name. I might campaign for a revival on Baby Names.

I frequently get DD's, DH's and the cat's names mixed up.

My DH called me "Mother" last week. And you think you've got problems, OP.

It could be far worse! Everyone in my family gets called by everybody else's name, but we are a pretty hopeless family when it comes to names!

The best I ever experienced was with my boyfriend when we first got together. We were arguing about another girl who was texting him (he had been dating her in the few weeks before we met and got together) and during the argument he called me her name! Our names aren't even remotely similar! I got over it (after a few days of him apologising!) and now think it's hilarious!

I'd be far more annoyed if my boyfriend was calling me someone else's name, but you're just friends... deal with it.
