Partner just called me by his ex's name. AIBU to feel a bit put out by this??

[JackOfGentleman]

He's been separated from her for almost ten years, we've been together for five. They don't have much contact, the odd message on Facebook every so often and we're very happy and settled. We were on a video call so he could see our switchboard and he said (not real names) "Katie, oh, no, Anna....."

AIB ridiculous to feel pissed off?

Sometimes the brain does weird things. Called my DP by his brother's name during sex before, no idea why 🤷‍♂️

Yabu MASSIVELY.

So it seems!

Oh my goodness

I was with my horrible ex for ages, and I still call my partner his name sometimes if we're arguing/disagreeing... Also, I had a pet name for ex which I have used on my partner by accident - I felt awful about it, and sort of disgusted. But at least it wasn't during sex 😆😬

Anyway - I'd give your partner a pass on this!!
