Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend has the same name as my ex-wife and it’s really bugging me.
Queenie, how can I get used to this?—Confused
Dear Confused,
Try calling your girlfriend by a pet name of nickname that is different from your ex-wife’s name. I am sure your girlfriend will be more than willing to help you find something you both like.
However, look at the bright side. You do not have to worry about getting in trouble by calling your girlfriend by your ex-wife’s name. Your girlfriend will never know the difference if you do not tell her you made a “mistake.”
