Boyfriend called me another girls name, my best friend?

[Anonymous]

Theyve never met before to my knowledge. He called me sarah when my name is tara... should I be worried? I was texting sarah one day and her name is sarah lee in my phone. He got upset because he thought it was a guy? How is sarah a guy name?

Fast forward to a couple of months he was laughing and said you're so funny sarah... my name is tara! This is the first time he's done that

[chriscdi]

sounds like he is clapping a sarah

[Asker]

U think so?

[chriscdi]

at least knows a sarah, lets just say that

[yucychan]

Did you asked him why he called you Sarah?

[Asker]

I didn't ask I was too shocked

[spartan55]

Okay, what was the context when he texted it?

[Asker]

He said it not texted

[spartan55]

Doesn't matter, what was the context?

[Asker]

He said he doesn't remember calling me her name. He hasn't even met her yet. He pronounced the name in my phone wrong too like a guy name. So I guess case closed

[spartan55]

What do you mean case closed? There are a lot of obvious questions sitting there...

[spartan55]

That's not the context. That's what he said to try to cover himself... you know what context is right?

[Asker]

Not really...

[spartan55]

Okay, it's what was said between you and him before and after he called you Sarah.

[Asker]

I can't remember what we were talking about but it had nothing to do with my best friend. We were talking to his mom. And I said something funny and that's when he said sarah. AND after that I was quiet because I was shocked he called me her name when he thought it was a boys name in the first place :(... I talked to him about it last night and he said he doesn't remember calling me her name and that he sometimes calls me *different pronunciation if my name* honestly I feel its bullshit. He said he was sorry... I dont know what to do

[spartan55]

His excuse is the worst ever. No one forgets what they said. I wouldn't put up that type of shit. He's talking to you like you're stupid. If you let this go you can expect it to happen again.

[Asker]

He said if he did call me sarah he's sorry...

[spartan55]

That's a non-apology. What a dickhead. You are still together with that guy?

[Gwenhwyfar]

Really hard to tell. Need more info.

Wow red flag time

[Thatsamazing]

... is this a joke?

[Asker]

Not at all why?

[Thatsamazing]

... Because "Tara" and "Sarah" are very similar names in terms of their articulation, and he clearly just had a slip of the tongue. It happens.

[Asker]

But he thought sarah lee was a guys name... then why'd he call me a guys name?

[Thatsamazing]

Again, it's already as I've answered. It was a simple mistake.
