Boyfriend confused memory of ex as something we did together. Irrational to be upset?

1

He was talking about a restaurant with a friend. said he remembered going on a date with me there. I said ‘I’ve never been.’ He says he even remembered where we sat. Awkward.
Later on I got a bit upset about it. He started yelling at me for making him feel guilty and being dramatic. Now I feel terrible. But it’s really awkward and upsetting to be confused with a memory of an ex.
Maybe I am just being a jerk. I don’t know. It just hurt.

No ones a jerk, it's just you don't remember and he's too sensitive. I forget 'important' things all the time. But in the end they aren't that important. This might hurt a little bit but don't fret over it.

I like to think of times like this as, that memory was shared with the most special person in his life at that moment. Now you are the most important and his mind wants to go back and rewrite it's history. I've done the same thing and that's what it feels like

Human memory is imperfect, and I mean extremely imperfect. Majority of people will have entirely made up memories, especially of their childhood, and aside from short-term memory, most of what we remember is grossly inaccurate.Also, I don't think he has the right to yell at you about this, but I also don't think you should pressure him about it. People are just imperfect, if we weren't we'd be computers.
