Help! Relationship trouble
| Wed, 12-10-2003 - 9:59am |
I am a big idiot and I just may have ruined a great relationship. Last night, at my boyfriend's house I managed to lock my keys in my car. My boyfriend was taking me back to my place to get a set of spare keys. It was really late and he had to be up really early. I felt so bad about it and I was apoligizing to him. I said I'm sorry and ended the sentence meaning to say his name but for some reason my ex's name came out. I know I hurt him really bad and I really can't believe i said it. I don't want to lose him and I tried really hard last night to prove to him that it was him that i want to be with and not my ex. I'm not really sure if he is intending on breaking it off or not. He gave me signs that he wanted to continue. However, if we continue, I don't feel like our relationship will be the same. Does anyone have any advice that may help us build back our relationship. Thanks!

While you had a slip up in saying the wrong name - I don't think that the relationship is doomed. His feelings might be hurt but I don't think that he will end his relationship with you as a result.
If I were you - I would say to him again that I was truly sorry for calling him the wrong name but in no way does that mean that I want to be with my ex. Perhaps you can get him a card (one of those "between me & you" - Hallmark) and write alittle note inside stating that you are sorry and how much you care about him and value the relationship.
Don't worry...everything will be okay!

Just be nice with your boyfriend and he will get over it. Also, make sure you don't get all worked up over this, or there may be other slips. Stress plays funny tricks.
