Why does my boyfriend do this?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is constantly confusing his ex's likes and dislikes with mine... For example I've mentioned that I only like BBQ sauce with my chicken nuggets and he always brings back ranch saying I know that you don't like BBQ sauce which of course was his ex that refused to have BBQ sauce. And then there's the lesabre that she drives and the Arizona license and the gravy... I don't really want to go into detail about all of it but almost everything he talks about has nothing to do with and everything to do with his ex (J. L. A. P)

he was tortured for long time with his x and it's emblazoned in his brain and body. The torture was emotional. he needs to purge of that other woman, which will take some conscious work and effort and repetition. maybe he's not there yet, but he needs to own up to that, with support. Else, he's going to blow this relationship to bits.

Speaking of bits... you are 36 years old right... can you explain why you are eating CN and BBQ sauce? I'm advance of you 20 years and can tell you... you need to change your diet now! Do I need to explain why the change is needed?

So you both have some work to do, it's good work, and you can thank me and my wife for it later. Today... you have salad and baked chicken!

I figure the three most likely explanations are: his memory is impaired; he has a lot of stressful things on his mind right now, is super tired or otherwise cognitively overloaded; he just doesn't care enough about you to remember these things. Who can say which?

Sorry to hear about this saucy situation, darling! It can definitely be irksome when your boyfriend mixes up details like BBQ sauce preferences. His tendency to confuse you with his ex is a bit of a red flag. It's time for a gentle but firm chat; communicate your feelings in a playful way. Give him a tad bit of a wake-up call! 😂 Rest assured, communication is the secret ingredient to avoiding lovebombing confusions! Let's make sure you get the right sauce next time, sweetheart!
