Today, I saw my girlfriend at the store and joyfully greeted her. She got really mad at me - it was her identical twin sister, who I still cannot tell apart from my girlfriend. We've been dating for three years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend of three months got mad at me because I thought she was attractive. She has an identical twin, and she says if I think she's attractive, I must want her twin too. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me I have a doppelganger on campus who looks just like me, but way cuter. She got his phone number. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend that my identical twin and I are not in fact related, that he's adopted, and that the only reason we look exactly the same is because we eat and drink the same things. She actually believed it. FML
Today, it’s my girlfriend’s birthday. I took her out to her favorite restaurant to celebrate. The waitress serving us looked oddly familiar but I didn’t think anything of it until she said when we collected the check, “Aren’t you my sister’s husband?” I forgot she had a younger sister who worked here. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my family for the first time. Everyone quickly pointed out how my girlfriend looks very much like my cousin. My girlfriend even agrees. That’s not what I was going off of when I first met her but now I’m having a hard time un-seeing it. FML
Today, my identical twin sister's boyfriend walked over to me, and whispered in my ear, "I know what you look like naked." FML
Today, I ran into my serious boyfriend of two years at a restaurant. He was sitting with another girl. I went over and asked him who she was. He replied, "Who are you?" Apparently I was the secret girlfriend. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mom and my dad met for the first time. We discovered that they are each other's exes, and not only that, my girlfriend, whom I have been dating, hanging out, confiding with, being intimate with, shared each other's first times, and plan to marry, is actually my half-sister. FML
Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend, when I saw my best friend. I jokingly did a double-take and said I didn't recognize him with his clothes on. We laughed, talked a bit, then went our separate ways. My girlfriend later dumped me, claiming I'm blatantly gay and cheating on her. FML
Today, as I was waiting for my girlfriend in the street, I saw a woman who looked a lot like her. I ran towards her, my arms in the air ready to give her a hug, only to realise it wasn't her. I then had to pass the woman, my arms in the air, still running. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell her that you're your identical twin and get mad at her for mistaking who you are.

Even identical twins aren't identical, I knew two and one had a gap in her front teeth from sucking her thumb too much as a child, and another two with one who's nose was a tad bigger (from childhood exploits up there). However if you're truly having trouble then buy your girlfriend a necklace, hoping she'll wear it all the time. If that doesn't work there are bracelets that you put on and let your arm grow in to, but it takes a while before you can't get them off, however there are also woven bracelets you can't take off, as well as hair dying options that you could try to talk her in to, any little token that will always be on your girlfriend will do the trick (nose ring as a birthday present anyone?)

if OP was far away from her I would e understandable.

I'm kind of surprised this doesn't have more YDIs. Telling twins apart is a pain, but after three years you have to have noticed some personality quirks or mannerisms or even fashion tells. Hell, even the way your gf looks at you vs the sister should be a clue.

If she's an identical twin, she should be more used to this by now and be more understanding. Also, there would have to be more info for me to place blame on you, unlike other people that voted YDI. We don't know how these girls dress or what they look like, etc... I was best friends with some twins in college. One set, there was a girl with a birth defect so that made that set obvious... but the other set, even as a bestie I had trouble until one got a haircut...

No matter how many times I'm mixed up with my sister, I'm still going to hate it. It's really annoying, because I do put a lot of effort into not seeming too much like her.

(addressing the language argument) My girlfriend's first language is Korean, and yet she is the top in her class for all her advanced level English classes at a major university. Sometimes it is better for English not to be the first language, as long as the person isn't still in the process of learning. Take me for example, English is my first language and I'm horrible with it.

People usually don't like being referred to as "things", and also the word you were looking for is "two".
