Today, I asked my boyfriend if he knew my middle and last name. He doesn't. We've been together almost six years. FML

OP here. You're exactly right. We've lived together this entire time, and honestly, it doesn't come up very often. He's only met my family once, and the parents have different last names now. So it's pretty comical really. Thank you all for your thoughts! that was fun to share.

If it never comes up or is never used, I can completely understand how it could be glossed over. Yeah it kind of stinks, but has he ever had to write out your full name? Does he mail out cards to your parents? Does he talk to your parents and called them "Mr & Mrs. ev_lyn_aw"? If everything has been first name basis your entire relationship, its entirely possible to happen. I worked as a company for 4 years, same people every day and I knew maybe 2 last names from 20 people (And thats because the names flowed together). Doesn't really matter if its a friend or a boyfriend. If your communication is the same, it can be missed or forgotten! If this is the worst of it, don't sweat it. Help remind him from time to time!

I can understand not knowing your middle name but your last name? that's just wrong

can't put a man on the spot like that!!! but seriously, I have a feeling you've been seeing a terrible representation of our sex.

Doesn’t he have you on Facebook?

Shouldn't it be on a piece of mail? I get not knowing a middle name, but a last name...

You’re about one step up from a one night stand and about on level with a booty call.

I can see not knowing your middle name but how is it possible he doesn't know your last name? I'm not buying that

Because he wants you to have his ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

How could he possibly not know your last name? He's never seen any of your mail..credit cards? He's never answered the phone and had some one ask for you using your whole name? He's never introduced you to anyone? This is bullshit
