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 don't believe this is really something to say "**** my life" over.

I'm a Martian when it comes to pop culture. Sometimes I mix up beyonce and rihanna so I started mixing up celebrity names on purpose. I learned to laugh at myself. If he has a good sense of humor call him a different name everytime you see him. Inside jokes are a great way to build closer relationships.

Why did you think his name was something other than what it is in the first place? And shame on your boyfriend for never correcting you.

LOL I called my friends dad by my other friends dad's name. They looked exactly the same except for one was really tall and the other was short and heavier but face, hair and that stuff they looked the same. Yeah her dad just ignored me and they couldn't figure out why I was calling him Gary when his name was Gus. LOL

Fess up, what was the circumstances regarding getting his name wrong in the first place, what is his real name, and how did you find out it was wrong? I'd be tickled that they weren't pissed... They have a sense of humor :)
