Today, my fiancée texts me while out at a restaurant. She told me that she saw one of my high school friends there, and that he asked "How's Douglas doing?". She then asked me who Douglas is. Douglas is my legal name. We've been together for over three years and she didn't know. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I've been seeing this girl for three months. After asking her if she'd like to go out to eat with me, I realized that she never called me by my name, just "hey you". While we were out, I wondered what she had me saved as, so I texted her when she got up to use the restroom. It was "free food". FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she didn't know we were actually dating. FML
Today, my boyfriend was introducing me to some business partners. As he was going along telling me their names, when he introduced me, he called me by my best friend's name. FML
Today, my friends and I were talking about the creepy stranger that used to stalk me back in high school. I guess his looks changed a lot through the years because I found out that he's my current boyfriend of four months. FML
Today, my fiancée’s siblings kept calling me by her ex-boyfriend’s name. FML

Today, my girlfriend from high school contacted me, telling me we should hang out some time; I casually agreed. Two hours later she's on my doorstep in tears, wanting me to take her back. She's married with kids. I live four states away and haven't a clue how she found out where I live. FML

If she's been calling you "Doug" for short and didn't realize that your full name was Douglas, she's an idiot. If you were being called by some other name completely and never told her your real name was Douglas, YDI.

Why the hell haven't you told her your real name?

She's French, so I bet she's less blonde, more dark, stocky, hairy with armpits smelling of cheese.

Unless you're holding back from us, I can't see how this is her fault. It's time to pay the piper, dood.

OP here, I do go by something different than Douglas, my middle name. The thing is, she knows this. I've told her a time or two. We were also in classes together where they'd use your legal name during role call on the first day of school. She's also made fun of me for having such an "un-modern" name before. My friends have also done the same thing in her presence. She legitimately forgot. That's why I find this a little funny. Hopefully I'LL be the one in charge of the wedding invites ;)

I sympathize. I was married to a girl for a few years before I found that she was actually called Dirty Bitch.
