Sorry, I'm not normally a grammar/spelling Nazi, but that was making my eye twitch.
Good catch... hey it was early. I just found out who my neighbors really are. Gotta cut me some slack.

I would not sweat it, it was a normal mistake. My brother makes that same mistake when talking to me. He sometimes calls his ex, my wife.

Grow a thicker skin. If this upsets you what are you going to do if they have children together and have to communicate for years to come.

You may need to reconsider involving yourself with someone who has an Ex.

have you ever done it? does it mean that he loves her, thinks of her? misses her? cant let go of their marriage deep down?

thank you
Have only read this OP:

Yes I've done it by accident, nope it doesn't mean anything and yes it's probably quite a common slip of the tongue. Consider the 15 years and us men often being creatures of habit....

Not worth wasting energy worrying about it.

What I was thinking exactly.

He corrected himself. What else do you want OP? Her to be erased from memory? They have a child together. This is a really small thing you are making a big deal about.

I've called my current husband my ex's name before, (when he was irritating me and that's all I can remember of my ex). We all survived.

It's a slip up. Christ. He's been married for 15 years. It doesn't mean anything

I've been married for 20 some. I don't even know my wife's name anymore. It's just my wife whe referring to her in conversation. And it's Pumpkin when I talk to her. Sometimes o tell her to change her name legally to Pumpkin. Be easier on me.

It has nothing to do with you. You cannot erase a person's memory. Grow up and get over it.

Not at all. I have caught myself saying my ex's name in place of a BF's,many many times, and using the words "husband" too. Sheesh people. It means NOTHING.
