AITAH for leaving my boyfriend’s family vacation early after his mom kept calling me by his ex’s name?

I (24F) have been dating my boyfriend Matt (27M) for almost a year. He’s amazing, super sweet, and has been nothing but respectful to me. So when he invited me to join his family for their annual beach vacation, I said yes.

The issue? His mom. From the moment we got there, she kept calling me **Sophie (**Matt’s ex) At first I let it go, assuming it was just habit. But it kept happening. At dinner, during a group photo, even while handing me sunscreen she said “Here, Sophie.”

I corrected her gently several times. She’d laugh and say, “Oh you know what I mean, dear!” but never really tried to stop.

Matt heard it, but kind of brushed it off as “just mom being awkward.”

By day three, I was drained. I didn’t feel like I belonged. I booked a train back home and left a short note saying I wasn’t comfortable.

Matt texted me that I overreacted and his mom has “a memory thing,” which no one had ever mentioned before.

His sister later messaged me saying I made the trip “weird” for everyone.

So Reddit… AITA?
