Once, while making love to my wife, I screamed out my lover’s name by mistake. Needless to say, she did not appreciate being called John.

You should look your wife right in the eye and say, “Look Terry, I am in love with this wonderful woman named Sherry. You can’t hold a candle to her.” Then take her in your arms and give her a kiss.

damn dude im sorry to hear that. I would go to extremes to reminder that she is my wife for a damn good reason. i would just go from attempt to attempt and try to make them genuine so it doesnt look like i truly am guilty. i would let her treat me like crap for as long as it takes till she beleives me. she shouldcome around. thats a honest mistake you were just making a joke.

Funny (weird) story. Last two women I dated had my ex wife’s first name and the first initial of my last name. Just worked out that way… Or did it?

Never. I guess that would cause an earthquake in my house.

My two husbands each had the same first name.

My S/O is called ‘grace’. One time I called her ‘rachel’. We both laughed a fair bit. I don’t think I’ve ever known someone called ‘rachel’.

Things that happen to other people are funny. I am guessing that you don’t see the humor in it. It occurs to me that your wife is very jealous. Does she have a reason?

I had a similar issue years ago. My wife and I were with another couple entering a night club that was on the second floor in Cavite City in the Philippines. There were a few hookers at the bottom of the steps and they propositioned my buddy and I completely disregarding our wives. I jokingly said “later”, the next thing I saw stars when my wife hit me in the solar plexus with her wooden ended purse. I couldn’t breath and crawled up the stairs.

When I could finally talk I told my wife that “I was just kidding”. She said that she was too. Well, I never made those jokes again and she got over it in a few days.

My point is that your wife will get over it too, as long as you don’t give her a reason to remain suspecious.
