Does your partner ever get things wrong about you

If you've been in a relationship for a long time, does your partner ever get things wrong about you? I've been married 30 years and in the last couple of years DH has said a few things which are wrong. The most recent example is he was planning an order for a takeaway and he said he would order prawns for me as he said I prefer that to chicken. I don't. I tend to avoid prawns unless I've cooked them myself. Another example is he said during a family conversation with others that I used to do the Times crossword. I have never done the Times crossword.
Another example is that he made reference to a conversation we apparently had about sex very early on in our relationship. I cannot remember this conversation at all but because it was so long ago I accept that it may have happened, although it didn't sound like the sort of thing I would have said when I was young.
I've decided to start making a note of every time he gets something wrong about me.

I've been with my chap for over five years. We don't live together. He holds some really random and incorrect 'beliefs' I suppose you'd call them, about me. Despite evidence to the contrary. One is that I kill every plant I own. I have a small but thriving garden, which he sees every time he comes to my house. The other is that I not only 'never cook', but that I can't cook at all. Despite the fact that he eats food I've cooked, and I have a freezer full of batch cooking. It's really bizarre and it's started to piss me off to be honest. He's started to tell other people these 'facts' now.

Not quite the same, I know OP.

Edited

He's being an absolute obnoxious dick and definitely doesn't deserve you cooking for him (Or anything else probably!)
