The other night, having had quite a few drinks, my boyfriend called to me to ask me something, adding his ex girlfriends name to the end of the question instead of mine. When I asked him about it he apologised and said he felt mortified as soon as the word came out of his mouth. He also promised me that he harbours no feelings for his ex and that he can only think it was said out of an old habit. I accepted this as I didn’t want to punish him for a mistake. We have only been together for just over a year and he was with his ex for 9 years, so I’ve always felt a little bit uncomfortable with regards to her. I dearly love my other half and he has never given me any reason to think that he feels any differently. He tells me he loves me everyday and is nothing but caring and attentive, so why do I feel so hurt and anxious over this? Is this a common thing to happen? I just want to feel the way I did before he said it. Advice please!
