My husband calls me his sister name sometimes, which we have similar names that end in the EE sound, but its annoying to me especially because I don't care for his sister too much (okay at all!)& that he has done it in front of other couples! Kind of embarrassing, but its only here & there, but ENOUGH to where Its annoying, but If its honest mistake what can I do? Would this annoy you or is it so nothing to even get feisty over?

As annoying as it is, i cant say that its abnormal.. especially if u irritate him in a similar was as his sister does.. be greatful that he's calling u by his sisters name and not by an ex's name.. My husband every once and awhile calls me his x wifes name when in a heated arguement.. and u want to talk annoying.. so id give anything to get called the sisters name instead.. stop making mountains out of mole hills where u dont need it.. dont u have something better to fight about then that..

Look it is an honest mistake. You get people's names in your head. I've done this before and I wouldn't worry abotu it. I know it was just an honest mistake for me. I was thinking abotu somethign that my old GF did that annoyed me as I was looking at some old junk in the garage that i'd had then. My wife walke din and asked me somethign and I called her by the old GF's name. It could not have been more honest.
No reasonable person should care unless he starts staring off into space and stroking a gun or something weird like that...

Hello!
I wouldn't be too pleased if my name was forgotten or gotten mixed up. Because I don't know your husband, his age or any problems he may have....it is a difficult one. Have you spoke up enough to let him know this annoys you? Men don't usually remember names or communicate enough with women. It is always best to sit down when it is quiet and discuss this openly. You may be surprised! How long have you been married? How close is his relationship with his sister? He may not consciously be doing it. Express your feelings calmly but firmly. Let him know (without anger) how it makes you feel. There is always hope for some change.
Is there a possibility that he knows that you don't like his sister and he does it deliberately? Whether you like her or not...it is still his family. Try not to let your feelings about his sister get in the way. If there's a problem with his sister, try to figure out how to get along with her or at least not bring her up. I am quite sure that he would like you to be at ease with his sister for everyone's sake. Try not to alienate his family members. When you marry, his family should be yours too and your family his. Resolving deepseated resentments if possible should be the key. Be civil. I don't know all the circumstances of your dislike for the family. Forgive her and your husband and yourself! Communicate..communicate.......

You shouldn't get mad at him about that. You should be mad if he calls you another woman's name that has no relation to him. I sometimes call my husband our son's name on accident it just slips out no harm done. My husband sometimes calls me our daughter's name too nothing to worry about. One thing for sure is we have never called each other other peoples names just our kids. A little mistake nothing to worry about. I think the reason it bothers you so much is because you can't stand her if you did like her you would probably think it was funny.

I wouldn't worry about it too much as my husband and I both used to call our only son by our dog's name. I don't think it's personal at all. My husband even called me by the name of one of the women he used to work with once, but I didn't get offended and we have now been married for over 41 years. In fact I think he was more worried about it than I was.

If it's only his sisters name he gets messed up on with you, I wouldn't get upset about it - truth be told, my three daughters have same syllable names ending with an "n", and I do get their names wrong at times - especially when I am over-loaded or over-excited. If he calls you "Bubbles", or "Trixie", THEN it's time to go ballistic!

That would annoy me, but I think it is an honest misspeak. I do the same to my sons, call them by each other's names, not a lot but sometimes. I certainly don't do it on purpose.

I think that it is normal for it as long as it's only once in awhile. You may not like her much but I'd be wondering more if it was a non related name.

Oh yes, that would annoy me very much so.
I know two wrongs dont make a right, but what if you called him another name, then He would see how hurtful it is,and work harder to stop doing it to you.
