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 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.

If she doesn't know, you obviously never told her. That would be a fail on YOUR part.

maybe you never told her. so what just tell her, its not that big of a deal. and how would your highschool friend, know who your fiance was. it just doesnt make sesnse completely but i understand cause i guess if you included all of the information it would be wicked long lol. plus im kinda reading into to far hahah

I have two brothers. The older one I always called Randy and the other Basil Gene. When I was 15, I found out that their real names were Edward Randall and Basil Eugene. Basil's name wasn't a big deal. However, I was kinda freaked out when everybody started calling my other brother Ed instead of Randy. That's what I get for being the youngest, I guess. Everybody just assumes that I know everything already...
