Two names sound similar, how do I keep from calling my boyfriend, my ex boyfriends name?

You might just have to start mulling over your words before you spit them out. It helps you think about better words and phrases to express what you're thinking, and it gives you a chance to double check if you even have the right name.

It might take a while for you to get into this mindset. But if you can start establishing this as a habit, I personally think it'll help you out a lot in the future.

When in anger you may call some one special by the name of the last person associating with the past arguments.

This happens to ex wives and ex husbands too.

soo

1. Call ur beau Honey

2. Call people that you have hard time remember names with as hey gurl or hey guy.

3. Do not always call everyone by their names give them a nickname.

4. Keep Bio notes of friends at home or in you purse.

5. It is better to call the ex Ron then Arron your beau.

soo think Ron and always imagine him.

Next time you do that just play it cool and act like it didn't happen.

If he brings it up act puzzled. No help for it here, you can't do that

any more - maybe start calling your new boyfriend a pet name that

is different because this could really mess things up eventually.

(I just saw you put in he doesn't like pet names - so try this: Train

yourself to pause 1 second before saying anything whenever you feel

emotional. This will be very tough to do but might save your relationship because it will give you time to think about what you are going to say.) As far as your friends, everyone does that now and then. I've found it best to act like I didn't notice and then act puzzled if they bring it up. It will only be a big deal if it happens several times in a row.

so.........

what are the names?

Hahahahahaha! That's just wrong.

But, seeing as that it happens when you're frustrated, call him something else like a dork or a dick.

Or, call him by a shortened version of his name. I.E. Johnny = John.

If not, the other way around. John = Johnny.

The problem seems to be that you speak before your brain does. Maybe slow down a little?

If Ron is short for Ronald, call him Ronald. That would be sufficiently different from Aaron and wouldn't be a nickname or pet name.

Give him a nickname so you wont get confused anymore. My friend calls me by her sisters name ALL the time! Hahaha!! Its kind of funny actually because our names have nothing in common, not even the letters!

I've actually done that several times. The firs time my husband was pissed!

I told him I had been with this person before him for 10 years...how can he expect me to just suddenly forget his name. I asked him if his dad remarried, would he be able to forget his mom's name???

I apologized and said I can't guarantee it won't happen again, but I will try to make sure it doesn't.

Well its an honest mistake.:) So just think of the persons name atleast 3 times before talking to them. nd with the whole friends stuff, when there talking to you say there name in ur head twice then answer them. :) Hope it works!

To be honest that he shouldn't find that too upsetting, especially if you were with the other guy for so long. Also it doesn't necessarily mean that you were thinking about your old b/f either. My wife when agitated (as us chaps often cause you to be so much!) often calls me by our 3 kids names before she get to mine!

It's harmless and if he is not feeble and insecure he should only find it mildly amusing as I do!
