Today, I told my boyfriend to stop tickling me, since I absolutely hate being tickled. He got extremely pissed at me and left the room. It took me a full five minutes to realize that I'd called him by my ex's name. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend and I told him that I was going to tickle him, to which he responded me how he’d “crack” me in the head so that I’d never even think about tickling him again. It threw me into a panic attack and people laughed. I’m a survivor of domestic violence. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a couple of weeks mixed up my name with his ex-wife's name. After he said it, he looked at me and said, "You knew it was going to happen." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a heated argument. He raised his hand like he was going to hit me. Having been hit by my ex before, I panicked and instinctively kicked his legs out from under him. He then dumped me because he said he was just gonna scare me, but I used real violence on him. FML
Today, while creeping on my boyfriend's ex-wife’s Facebook, I found out that he used to call her the same nicknames he now calls me. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, I was giving my boyfriend a foot massage. I learned that his feet are ticklish when he kicked me in the face. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were play-wrestling on the bed, when he started to tickle me. I tried to pull away but he pushed me back down. I ended up hitting my eye on the corner of the nightstand. His comment was "this is why you shouldn't struggle." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend in a joking manner that he says my name slightly incorrectly. Now he’s mad I didn’t tell him. FML
Today, I went out with my friend and her boyfriend. Not knowing him very well, I accidentally called him by her ex’s name. He took that as a sign she was still seeing the ex and dumped her on the spot. She’s now not speaking to me for ruining her life. I’m just bad with names. FML
Today, my boyfriend starting going off on me, calling me a psycho, all because I opened our bedroom door while he was in there. FML

Don't worry, that just means it'll probably be the last time you ever get tickled by your soon-to-be ex boyfriend.

Meh, it happens. If you two haven't been dating long(few weeks?), then I'd say hes just bein' a puss.

if he acts like the asshole you left for tickling you, he deserves being called his name, doesn't he? anyway, if he's pissed off by your slightest mistake while he allows himself the slightest torture, you're better off without him.

Most people call someone by another's name when that person is doing something out of character that reminds you of the person you called them. I've called my bf by my ex's name, usually when he is being an a hole (sometimes even on purpose - he gets the message real quick)

I've done the exact same thing. My current GF, I never get truly angry with. My last GF, I got angry with her on an hourly basis. A year after we(current) had been together, if I got frustrated enough, I'd slip and call her my ex's name.

Easy mistake to make. I once ended up calling one of my friends, who was male, by my sister's name.

73- it's completely normal to do call your boyfriend/girlfriend by their ex's name. i'm assuming you'll never know because you won't get a girlfriend acting like that! bless your heart!

no worries I introduced my now wife of 5 years to my father as Jessica ( her name is Jenn) and he automatically said well there goes your shot. if it was meant to be it will work out.
