Referred to me as a man?????

Hi all.
Just a warning to say this is a sex post..
My partner of 7 years referred usually says 'naughty/bad girl' during bedroom time, however tonight he said 'naughty boy' during intimacy and it really freaked me out.

He immediately laughed and said it was a mistake but I can't get my head around how that can be a mistake unless it's what your thinking about?! We recently had a baby (we have 2 boys) and he's been distant since the end of pregnancy which makes me even more conscious.

To me, I'm never going to forget it and will always think of that if we are intimate again so I'm worried now.

Anyone else been in this situation or what's your views on it please?! Emotional, tired and stuck
Thanks

What Flamingnora said. It's the repetition of referring to your boys that caused a slip of the tongue. I'm often calling the cat by a family member's name or vice versa!

@kleew1 - This has made my night thank you

WombleOfThigh · 13/04/2020 23:49

This reminds me of the poster who meant to call her son a 'whiny tinker' and it came out as 'tiny wanker'. Still makes me laugh Grin

@givemeacall 🤣

TheSandman · 13/04/2020 23:55

It's probably just like the time I told my gran that dinner smelt 'disgusting' when I meant 'delicious' or the time I ask my mum to have the kids because I had booked a 'cut and blow job'

Or my daughter describing something to me the other day saying "He just hammered it into the wall Wank! Wank! wan... oh shit!"

EmeraldShamrock · 13/04/2020 23:57

I'd be put off by girl or boy during sex.

I once called my boss 'Mum'!! It was during an argument where I felt she was showing favouritism to another member of staff. It literally just came out "....but Muuuuum!!!" I almost died of shame Blush

My husband said "bye, love you" to a colleague on the phone the other day, pretty sure it's because he's working from home and if he's normally using the phone he's talking to me 😂

EmeraldShamrock · 14/04/2020 00:06

@Thehogfatherstolemycurry Yes the love you nearly happened to me.
I often answer the house phone with

Posted to soon. I answer the house phone with my jobs greeting. Blush

I said my sons name once during sex. I'm definitely not a weirdo. My son was a small baby. I was tired. Wasn't into it, was trying to get it over with 😂 All I could think about was not waking him up and when he would want his next feed! I said baby's name instead of DHs. They have similar names too.

Luckily DH understood but I was mortified!

Enough4me · 14/04/2020 00:12

I often have to remove a kiss from the end of a text. I mainly text my partner, mum and DD so it makes sense then, but occasionally message my boss regarding meetings.

Slip-ups happen!

UtterlyPerfectCartoonGiraffe · 14/04/2020 00:41

Oh op, I’m glad you’ve been able to laugh! I’m sure it was a baby brain induced slip up and he’s cringing at himself. Maybe he’ll change to calling you a more gender neutral term in the future, like “naughty human!” “Sexy little biped!” to cover himself Grin

In the run up to Brexit, I accidentally called my youngest “Nigel”. His name is not Nigel. In my defence, Nigel Farage was bloody everywhere. Youngest has not yet forgiven me for this.

allyjay · 14/04/2020 03:15

So why was he distant during the end of your pregnancy? Ever got to the bottom of that? I doubt that is related to this naughty boy thing though.

Reginabambina · 14/04/2020 03:23

Is he in the habit of saying the phrase naughty boy in general? Maybe to one of your children? Or a dog or something? It’s pretty normal to automatically complete a phrase even if you didn’t mean to use it.

Cherrysoup · 14/04/2020 13:20

You argued about it? Bloody hell. I think Flamingnora has it. I only have Male dogs/horse, so whenever I’m talking to anyone else’s, they’re boys, even if I know they’re female.

CaptainCabinets · 14/04/2020 13:44

Oh OP I’m grinning like an idiot, I hope this thread has made you feel better!

I once announced loudly and enthusiastically that I was going to die when I actually meant that I was about to orgasm Blush

Le petit mort, I suppose.

CaptainCabinets · 14/04/2020 13:45

Oh, and I called my male dog in from the garden last week by my female colleague’s name Confused
