I want my blog to be anonymous but a large portion of my hurt feelings and devastation is the whore's name. My name is familiar but not very popular, especially for my age. It's Erika. Other than my 5th grade year when I thought my name should be Ashley, I liked my name. What is the girlfriend's name? Erica. (I am holding on to the difference in spelling.) WTF??? How could he have an affair with a woman with the same name? Did it make things easier, he wouldn't even have to worry about saying the wrong name to the wrong person? But shouldn't it have been a reminder of me? Every time he said her name shouldn't he have thought of me? Our family? What he was doing? I told him that he cannot call me "Erika" again. In the conversations that we have about her and he says "her" name it is at first confusing, shocking then crushing. In the meantime I have come up with a new name for her, just to help avoid further confusion, "Sparerica". Apparently he can't have too many of us around. Since he has a "Home Erika" and a "Work Erica", why not a "Commute Erica", "Vacation Erica" and one encased in glass - "Emergency Erica". I have asked him to come up with another name to call me. Something nice. Something sweet. This request was made over a month ago......tick, tock, tick, tock.
