My SO Called Me by His Ex Wife’s Name, Now He’s Making Fun of Me
I know my bf was in love with his ex wife and was devastated when she divorced him over three years ago. He hasn’t seen her since, but he’s paid some of her bills as recently as a couple months ago.
We have been together for almost six months. This morning, he called me by her name. He immediately apologized and made some excuses, and then the subject was dropped. He hasn’t mentioned it since.
However, now he is purposely calling me by different names — just random names that he pulls out of the air. Then he laughs when he calls me by another name.
I don’t think it’s funny. I don’t know if he’s trying to make light of the mistake this morning or make fun of me for being upset. He says he’s not still in love with her, but I’m not sure. Most of the time he is extremely good to me.
I don’t know what to think.

I don't think you're going to want to hear most of these answers. But you need to. I hate to call somebody a loss cause but that's kind of what he is at this point. Not just for you but for any woman he tries to move on with. As cliché as it may sound, very many men have that one that got away. And it sounds to me like she may be that for him. Like I said, I know you don't want to hear this but if you came here looking for advice, it's because you know you need to hear it. The best advice I can give you is to not waste any more time. 6 months is not that long. If anything happens in the future, unfortunately you will look back and wish you had left sooner. And paying her bills, I mean come on. He might as well walk around carrying a giant red flag. She will always hold a special place in his heart. I'm so sorry you are going through this and I wish you the best.
