DH called me by Crazy's name

Yesterday DH was asking if I needed anything from the gas station, and at the end of that sentence he called me Crazy's name. In front of SD13, who was standing right there, because of course she always has to go to the gas station with DH to try and get him to buy her things. My mouth literally dropped open in shock and I turned my back to him. SD said, Dad! Where did that come from?? DH turned red and came up to hug me and apologize. He said he had no idea why or how he said that.

I mean, I can't say I understand, since they haven't been together for 8 YEARS and he hates her with the heat of a thousand fiery suns, so it was definitely strange. It really was just some blank slip, but of course now SD will tell Crazy that he called me by her name, because lately SD tells her everything we say, and she is going to just LOVE that.

DH and Crazy did have mediation last week, and as we speak he is dropping off the Contempt of Court paperwork at the Sheriff's Office so she can be served, so maybe she has just been more front and center than usual. Either way, I feel dirty.

Thats why

Thats why I call Husband Sweety and he calls me Love (not like the Love in You...)

It circumvents all that name stuff...

We have never gotten into the

We have never gotten into the pet names! Occasionally I'll call him Boo, but otherwise we just do first names. Neither of us are pet-name people, probably much to DH's chagrin yesterday as he called me Crazy's name....

My husband has called me love

My husband has called me love for years. But after we started watching You, I asked him to stop. He is having a hard time breaking the habit so when he does it, I call him Joe.

But yeah, in all seriousness, nicknames help. I'd be furious if my husband called me by BM's name.

DH has often said his biggest

DH has often said his biggest fear in life is that we will be old and he will have dementia or something and call me BM2's name. I told him not to worry if he did. I will just shut off his oxygen and it won't happen again! LMAO

In all seriousness, it was an accident obviously. I'm surprised it hasn't happened to either me or DH yet.

LOL

.. he will have dementia or something and call me BM2's name. I told him not to worry if he did. I will just shut off his oxygen and it won't happen again!

You made me laugh!

I was just thinking of this happening the other day. DH has a family history of dementia and he is getting more and more forgetful. I fully expect that one day he will call me by the ex-wife's name. I have already decided that when he does, I'll just ignore it and answer. (I've had practice with this. His mother often thought I was one of his sisters. I'd just answer her and ignore the name.)

That's hilarious. And

That's hilarious. And appropriate, of course!

I'm recovering from a cough

I'm recovering from a cough right now and laughing hurts. Your comment has me clutching my sides *ROFL*

I think that's happened to me

I think that's happened to me twice, there will not be a third time. He was so embarassed that you can almost see the wheels in his head spinning as he makes sure he says the correct name.

My DH has done it a couple of

My DH has done it a couple of times.. both were times I had made him angry.. so I guess there was THAT connection.

If she is taking a lot of space up in his head right now.. it could just be some mental hiccup.. He seems appropriately trite about it.. I would have a hard time not ribbing my DH mercilessly though..loll

DH has put this out of his

DH has put this out of his head already, but little does he know he has not heard the last of it from me. Lol. You sir, are not getting off that easy.

BM and I have the same name

BM and I have the same name so SO can't f that up. I think he would have though TBH. We don't have any pet names for each other... it's strictly just our first names when talking to each other. I have no idea what they did in their marriage nor care... my guess though... pet names.

Ha! Too funny that you have

Ha! Too funny that you have the same name. Your DH doesn't even realize he dodged a bullet and can never mess it up!

We spell it differently so he

We spell it differently so he could potentially f up haha. I don't think he's that dumb though.

DH and I rarely argue, and

DH and I rarely argue, and when we have, rarely did they escalte into raised voices and visible anger. But it has happend. On Occassion #1, he called me by BM's name. On Occassion #2, I called him by my exH's name. In both cases, it stopped the escalation and we both got a good laugh.

Well it definitely has a

Well it definitely has a different effect on you and your DH than it does on me. Lol. We have gotten in a few really bad arguments where DH has purposefully called me Crazy's name, to insinuate I am being as nuts as she is, while also just to purposefully make me mad. It worked, because I'm pretty sure my head actually spun around those times. It has since been taken off the table as an option to say during arguments, unless he wants to find himself living on the streets. We definitely didn't end up laughing about it. lol.

My DH introduced me by his ex's name at a family reunion.

My DH introduced me by his ex's name at a family reunion. His Mom was also standing there when he introduced me to relatives he hadn't seen in a very long time, and she was more upset by it than I was. He told me that he was thinking of his ex at the time - because she never went with him to family functions and he was so appreciative that I was there with him. His explanation made perfect sense, and while I didn't let him completely off the hook, I understood!

Eh, DH has done it to me with

Eh, DH has done it to me with BMs name (we have similar sounding names) last year. I'm like WHAT?!

BUT I've done it to him too with my ex's name - this summer I was telling an old story about my ex and then I introduced DH as "Ex Name" - oooops. I credit too much wine.

Oops

It's way funnier when it's one of us doing it to DH. lol. I was a little mad/hurt for a minute, but I got over it pretty quickly...my biggest issue with the whole thing is that this will give Crazy a chance to gloat and be happy at my expense, which is honestly just annoying because the only thing she deserves is to be punched in the throat, hard.

Oh dear. Many,many years ago,

Oh dear. Many,many years ago, when we'd been together for a few weeks, for reasons I still don't understand, I called DH by one of my flatmates' (someone I truly despised) names. I was mortified. We have never spoken about this but it still haunts me. There is no point in discussing this 30 years or more..

A few years ago we met up

A few years ago we met up with DH Aunty for her wedding. DH introduced me. Aunty has met BM maybe twice as she lives interstate but is super close with BIL wife. Aunty kept calling me BMs name REPEATEDLY. Like come on, first time I let it go but after consuming a few glasses of wine I was getting pissed and said 'Sorry, but if you call me BM name again I will punch a hole in your wall'. She looked at me stunned for a second then laughed but kind of stopped when my expression didn't change. Lol she didn't call me that name again!
We invited her to our wedding a few years later and she looked a little sheepish to be honest. DH believes his SIL and her ranted and talked about BM so much she must have it engraved into her head. Who knows but I found it extremely rude and disrespectful being called her name repeatedly!!

Once I had the skids in the car and I used Siri voice control to try and call DH. I have no idea what the eff my brain did but I said 'call ex bf name from 10 years ago' and thank god I don't have his number anymore, but Siri said 'Sorry I can't find 'ex name'. SS piped up and said 'wierd I thought you were calling dad' and I half laughed and said oh 'oops I think I said a random name' (they both start with the same letter) and I'm just thankful they forgot by the time I got home.
