While Telling His Girlfriend He Loves Her, He Accidentally Called Her By His Ex’s Name, And Now She’s Not Speaking To Him

This 24-year-old guy has a girlfriend the same age as him, and they have been dating on and off for around a year now.
He does love his girlfriend, and he’s committed to her. He’s truly invested in this relationship and doesn’t want to give up when they have issues.
However, the reason things have been rocky and they have broken up and gotten back together revolves around his ex-girlfriend.
His current girlfriend believes he still has feelings for his ex, even though he says that is not true.
He doesn’t speak to his ex or think about her at all. That relationship is over, done with, and in his past.
His girlfriend doesn’t trust him, though, and he has no idea how to prove to her that he has moved on from his ex.
In September, he got back together with his girlfriend after a break, and things were going wonderfully overall.
He saw that his girlfriend was making a real effort, and that made him feel more deeply in love with her, as well as happy.
“Then one day, as we’re talking on the phone as we usually do, the worst thing I could’ve possibly said came out of my mouth,” he explained.

“I was distracted while talking and accidentally said, “I love you (ex’s name)”…I was horrified and immediately apologized and told her it was an accident.”
“She didn’t say a word, she just went silent for a good while, then hung up. After that, she immediately hung up and deleted me off Snapchat, Insta, turned off her location on iMessage. A couple of things to know. My ex was my first real relationship, and we were together for 3 years. I ended things with her.”
“The last time I spoke to her was in January when she randomly showed up at my house with some of my mail. I haven’t thought about her for a while, but on Sunday morning (the day of the call), I was at my mom’s, and she was asking me if I could ask my ex to send the family photos my ex took of my family a couple of years ago.”
He informed his mom that he couldn’t do that since he doesn’t speak to his ex, and they have one another blocked on most platforms.
He knows this isn’t an excuse for slipping up and calling his girlfriend by his ex’s name, but he doesn’t know why he slipped up and did that.
His girlfriend has not said a word to him in the past five days, even though he did drop off flowers and an apology letter at her house yesterday.
He’s curious if he and his girlfriend will ever be able to get over this. What do you think?
