Who is that?

I apologize for calling you by another name. For what it's worth, I didn't intentionally go out of my way to hurt you. There's no reason that I called you by different name.

自然な表現

I apologize for calling you by another name. For what it's worth, I didn't intentionally go out of my way to hurt you. There's no reason that I called you by different name.

1. You could also use WHY here to explain the reason.
I believe you. But I would like to know who was the person you mentioned? I don't remember you knowing someone with that name.

I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but please try to understand my thoughts. Maybe I mentioned my ex because I have trauma about her. I had a nightmare of being abused by her.

自然な表現

I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but please try to understand my thoughts. Maybe I mentioned my ex because I have a trauma about her. I had a nightmare of being abused by her.

1. TRAUMA is countable and uncountable, but can be countable in this case. Both okay.
Really? You should have told me about her. How come you hide such an important information from me?

Oh, sorry. She abused me when she was irritated. I was her punching bag, so to speak. Sometimes, I feel fear that you suddenly become fearful person like her because of continuous trauma experiences by her.

自然な表現

Oh, sorry. She abused me when she was irritated. I was her punchbag, so to speak. Sometimes, I worry that you will suddenly become a frightening person like her, because of my continuous trauma experiences from her.

1a. Spelling mistake.
1b. One word.
2. FEEL FEAR is an unusual expression with SOMETIMES.
3. Future tense required.
4. You must use an article (or a word like ‘my’, ‘his’ etc) before a singular countable noun.
5. FEARFUL usually refers to YOUR feelings.
6. A comma is needed here, before the additional information. This does not refers to WHY she is frightening.
7. See 4. in #2 above.
8. Experiences come FROM people or situations.
Oh, I am very sorry you had to go through all that. I am nothing like that. I would never abuse a person. Did you ever try reporting her?

No, I didn't. Generally, men are hesitant to admit being abused by their girlfriends. That's because they think it's shameful. Why on earth can't so many people control their anger? They should drink milk.

自然な表現

No, I didn't. Generally, men are hesitant to admit being abused by their girlfriends. That's because they think it's shameful. Why on earth can't so many people control their anger? They should drink milk.

1. GET COUNSELLING would be more usual here. Drinking milk to control anger is an unusual idea.
Oh, okay, I understand what you are saying and I am sorry that you had to go through all that abuse.

Anyway, I'm sorry that my mistake. Why don't we go to a sushi bar to change our mind? Let me see. Sushi is one of my ex's favorite food. Oh, I automatically remembered her again!

自然な表現

Anyway, I'm sorry for my mistake. Why don't we go to a sushi bar to change our mood? Let me see. Sushi is one of my ex's favorite foods. Oh, I automatically remembered her again!

1. THAT would require a pronoun and verb. We are sorry FOR something.
2. CHANGE OUR MIND refers to making a different plan.
3. Plural with ONE OF.
