This seems like a stupid problem but it's been bothering me for the last two months despite my attempts to work things out.  My boyfriend of three years and I like singing aloud to songs together whenever we're in the car, and we're in the car together a lot.  A couple months ago we were singing along to "Kick in the Teeth" and when I got to that line I accidentally sung "kick in the face" instead.  He started laughing and I asked him why, thinking that maybe he made the same mistake as me.  He tells me that, no, it was funny that I seemed so confident when I said the wrong word, and especially after all the times I've heard the song and the fact that it's the title.  

The thing is, I've always been really self-conscious about singing because my parents would criticize my singing, and I've never had a good memory for songs and usually listen to the chorus before I start so I remember how it goes.  I would've found it funny too if I had said a funnier word, but I don't find it funny that he was laughing at my confidence.  I was also shocked because it seemed really out of the blue for him to make fun of me, he's never done it before or since.  I told him all this and he finally said he understood why I didn't like it and wouldn't laugh at me again, but he'd still find it funny and would laugh if it happened to someone else.  Ever since then, I haven't felt comfortable singing with him, and it makes me upset to hear him still singing along.  

I want to feel comfortable singing out loud again and I don't know how.  It was one of my favorite parts of our relationship.  We've tried communicating about it and it hasn't gotten us anywhere.  I don't know if I should just get over it on my own, but if so I don't know how.  Or, if you would've been offended too, how else can I explain to him that it really wasn't funny?

Ever since my boyfriend laughed at how I confidently made a mistake while singing, I haven't felt comfortable doing one
