Today, I found out that I've been calling my boyfriend's dad by the wrong name for the past two years. No one had told me sooner because they liked laughing at me for it when I wasn't around. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that I’ve been greeting a coworker by the wrong name for six weeks. The worst part? They never corrected me because they thought it was funny, especially because it turns out to be their mom's name. 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, as they have for the past three years, my boyfriend's parents have never called me by my actual name. They always "accidentally" call me by my boyfriend's ex's name. FML
Today, I realized that I've been using the wrong name for a coworker for the past 6 months. I just found out their real name when I saw their name tag. 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, on more than one occasion, I was mistaken for my boyfriend's mother, by his own family. FML
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML
Today, my boyfriend accidentally called me from his pocket. I thought it would be funny to see what him and his friends were talking about. I laughed when I heard him talking about us fooling around until I realized it wasn't me. FML
Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

I wonder how they managed to keep that a secret, with no one else ever calling him by his name.

simple things for simple minds, I guess. Why would they keep up such a mean joke for two years?

So in those two years you've never heard anyone call him by his real name? Maybe it's a listening problem.

I feel your pain. My boyfriend has 100+ members in his family, so at family gatherings I just start calling them "auntie" and "uncle" when I can't remember their names! People should wear name tags in gatherings that large!!!

That's understandable! She only had to remember one name & it was too much for her!

I forgot to mention we've been dating for almost six years now lol Some of them I've called by the wrong name with no correction! How is anyone supposed to learn?!
