BlsdMama Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I just invited over my cousin. Oh, and her ex who deserted her and the kids ten years ago. Why can't I ever remember her new husband name? Ugh. Seriously. I think that counts for both feet down my throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 You mean a faux pas where you addressed it to the both of them, right? I would contact her and apologize profusely for it and assure her that he was not contacted and would not be appearing. And I would write her husband's name in your phone book right next to hers so that you don't forget in the future. (I have a few entries like that with spouse or kid's names that I tend to forget).

Guest Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 We are all idiots sometimes :) Just apologize profusely and fix the entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Bunny Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I assume you said "Hey, would you and (insert ex's name) like to come over?" I have moments where I say someone's name (that I've known for years) and it might or might not be the right one.... Gives me a racing heart, I tell you! There are just some people whose names don't suit them! Anyway, other than apologizing, there's not a lot you can do! Pull your foot out of your mouth and carry on!

Spryte Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Ugh. I, too, have delicious feet that are often inserted. Just tell her you're sorry. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swtonscrappn Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If it makes you feel better, it's still a step above me calling my brothers fiance by his dead wife's name.

Ewe Mama Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's ok. Sheep Daddy once referred to me by his ex-wife's name at a dinner with his entire family. You could have heard a pin drop after that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
