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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I asked the girl I am in love with out on a date. She asked me for my name. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, I was introduced to the girl my current boyfriend went out with while dating me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

God dammit I was trying to remember that one and couldn't think of it. Perhaps the OP doesn't know what his own name is anymore.

Lol, you probably never told her. How is she supposed to know?

You wouldn't ever think to ask the man you're going to marry what his name is?
time4coffee 3
If he's been saying his name is Joe Smith for 3 years, why would she doubt that was his name? Unless someone does something to make you think otherwise, do you check to see what their legal name is.

argreed to #5. if she honestly didn't know your real name, then you should probably re-work your communication skills before getting married

Well congrats on either being a douche who doesn't tell your fiance your name or having a fiance who isn't the brightest crayon in the box.

So just tell her. This isn't really an FML to the extent that it's not that big of a deal. Unless your name is Doug.

Epic FAIL on both of your parts. You for not telling her your full government name. and her for not bothering to figure it out. FAIL. FAIL. FAIL. Lol

Shes never seen your drivers license? Okay, 2nd date protocol is asking to see the persons drivers license. You jokingly bring out yours and show them your 'embarrassing pic" and then you ask to see thiers. Then you read it top to bottom to make sure they are a legal citizen, didnt used to be a woman and most importantly, so you learn their real name. :-)

Actually your driver's license doesn't state whether you've had a sex change, or whether you're a citizen. You'll have to find a better way to snoop.
