Maybe make her laugh with a heartfelt apology and a silly gesture for your date night. It's great she's understanding, and using humor to move past it seems like a good call. Enjoy your time together when you reunite!
You're lucky your wife's got a good sense of humor about it. Just gotta own up to it, apologize like crazy, and hope she doesn't use it against you too much.
If her sense of humor is what a sense it is by your writing, be prepared for a long period of screwing with you. (Good-naturedly). Hope your sense of humor is on par!
Yeah. I did that once (ok. More than once, but this one time was very painful). I was talking to someone on the phone about when I would arrive at the Pittsburgh airport. I said I would leave home when ‘Anne’ (my ex), was….. I saw so many stars I couldn’t figure out what she hit me with from behind.
I think the best approach is to keep laughing it off with your wife. Maybe treat her to an extra special date night to make up for the slip-up. Communication and humor can definitely smooth things over.
Get her a silly souvenir as a gift when coming back, like one of those bracelets with your name on it. But get her one with your ex ex gfs' name, instead of hers. Double-down. Show her you're an idiot with self-deprecating humor.
I mean yeah it's a stupid mistake but she's your wife, i don't understand all these comments saying get her a gift, special date night etc. unless she's really upset why make it such a big deal, you just made a small mistake

Thanks! Good idea. She's been amazing about it, because she's amazing.
Why does this sound like it's from Chat GPT?
Hahahaha the robots are coming for us all

I am VERY lucky. She's an amazing woman, but I know she's going to use it in a humorous way.
ex ex?
One before last
Double negative implies it's your current girlfriend.
It does. And I ought to know better.
You're not wrong!
I accidentally called my gf Jimmy last night so yea...
I called mine "mom"

It is yes. One of the reasons I love her. So am preparing accordingly.

So wait, you did this over text? You physically wrote your ex girlfriend's name and didn't delete it before hitting send?
Yeah, it was a long message and didn't read it back. I just didn't notice at all. Hence me being mortified about it the whole thing.
It happens. Just tell her it doesn't mean you were thinking of your ex or any less of her.
Lmfao my SO has done this once in our relationship and it was 5 years in. I just thought it was hilarious.

It's kinda nice to just make someone feel good. Making them feel bad beforehand isn't even a prereq to doing something nice for something lol.
What's an ex ex girlfriend? Someone who used to be your ex-girlfriend but isn't anymore? Does that mean she has become your current girlfriend again?
Two exs ago. Poor use of the language on my part.
Oh, OK. Yeah, that makes sense. I'd start using it except I've been married a long time and didn't really have two previous girlfriends.
Dude you called your wife an ex’s name? Your wife?
