Hello all. I'm married, almost 8 years now. The other day while doing some house hold chores with my wife she called me by another man's name. This is the first time this has ever happened. It made me a little upset, and we didn't talk for a few hours. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be worried about this or not? Just not sure what to think, I tend to over think things a lot so my heads been going crazy. Any advice is appreciated.

The best thing I can tell you is to talk to your wife about this. Don’t make accusations, just calmly try to sort things out. Silent treatments never help anyone. You guys should be able to openly communicate any concerns.

Hello, thanks for replying. I dont want to accuse her of anything. She has ensured me it was an accident and that she doesn't even know anyone by that name. I'm just having a hard time believing that. I dont see how you can mistakenly call someone you've lived with for years a completely different name you dont atleast say everyday. I would understand if it was a coworker or something. Maybe I'm just over thinking things, I tend to do that but maybe I'm not. Just not sure how to move forward with this nagging feeling in the back of my mind.

Sometimes, if someone irritates or an old/new friend, friend of friend, celebrity influence the brain in a good way or bad way. In that case too, person tends to think about it and such accidents happen like yours. Trust her, speak to her clearly (clear and straightforward communication depends on how your relationship is). Take some time to judge your eight years relationship!

Have you let her know that this incident has hurt you? Maybe she doesn’t realize that.
