Q: Dating After a Separation
asked by: uliteupyourlife on August 1st, 2006

I separated from my husband of 15 years (20 years together) in july 2005. Our seperation was mutual and amicable.

I met a wonderful man whom I love tremendously. Once in a while out of the blue, i'll call him by my husband's name. Its not something I do consciously or intentionally, his name just comes out of my mouth and then I realize what i've said. What puzzles me is that I don't even think about my ex-husband.

My boyfriends makes a huge issue out of this and I don't know what to do. Help?

After 15-20 years I can understand it happening but a lot of people just do not understand, maybe you don't use names. I have done that before and I apologized and they were still upset and I just said that I was sorry that I am human and I make mistakes and I do not want to fight over it, if they were to turn it around they might make the same mistakes, we might be upset but if we love them we forgive them, everyone makes mistakes, it is not as if you are having a fling with your ex, like you said you barely think of him except that he is your ex and that you are happy that you have him now(this other guy) and their is no reason to be jealous or insecure about it, you are sorry and it was a mistake and that is about all you can say about it! Maybe someone else has some better answeres.
All the best to the both of you!
