Are you gonna talk like that about her parents?

Either you changed your name, or you are using stage name. But if you are using stage name, dont be upset that someone is using your real name.

Do you think Eminem is angry at his partner (if he has one, idk) that she calls him Marshall or Bruce, not Eminem?

Better to be pissed off than shat on, I suppose

On the one hand I agree with others that it doesn't seem like a huge deal for her to change what she calls you.

On the other hand... Did you not run it by her in advance? I could see how she might have appreciated a say... What if u picked the name of like her high school bully or something

The age gap has me worried. You were a 29/30 y/o dating a 21/22 y/o.

Really?

What a weird reaction on MDMA?

I may or may not have used MDMA/ecstasy/molly several times in the past.... And Ive never had (or my friends) a reaction like this. Ive never felt like Ive needed to go on a mission.

Sounds more like you did meth. Thats the mission kind of drug. Theres tons of videos of people on meth going on crazy missions like repainting their house, building something crazy, things like this.

Definitely meth man.

This is why Reddit mods are always in a bad mood. Imagining filtering through stuff like this all day.

This!

I have a so called artist name. Just the official designation of a legal alias or - in my case - pen name. It's an actual, usable name, but you can view it as a title, if you like.

I do use my alias pretty much always and everywhere. It just turned out like that. But my mom doesn't use it and doesn't have to. To her it's just what it essentially is - a stupid nickname.

Make your former name your secret, intimate, personal name only your gf can use. Nobody else is even supposed to know, so in public she'll have to use your new name. Sell it to her, so she can realize that she's the one who has something special with you.

And here I am, still calling a supermarket chain by its old name even though it changed at least a year ago. Saying the old name in public is problematic, but for her you will always be [old name], she will always think of [old name] name when she thinks about you.

Reframe things. Your old name is just for her to use, in intimate situations, when you’re completely hers. Make it something private, a shared connection. Your new or stage name is for when other people are around, work functions, etc - but only she gets that part of you, no one else can hear or share it.

so? She’s explicitly asked her parter to refer to her as blank she should do that if she has any respect for home girl

Its stage name if it is not changed in her ID etc. There is no info about changing documents. Only about stage name.

​

Many actors have stage names known to all, but in reality their name and surname legally is something different.

It’s not “stage” being on stage IS this woman’s life and career. Changing her name FOR that career makes it that much more part of her identity

Convince her to call out your stage name during intimacy. She'll feel like she's doing something dirty with someone famous. You then ask her if she's seeing someone else, but agree to let the relationship continue if the two of you never meet irl.

This sounds like there might be more going on here than just her having a problem with the name change. Its doesnt take that much effort to change what you call someone and only get easier with time, but going out of your way to call someone the wrong name is just rude no matter what the reason is. I cant help but wonder what would drive her to intentionally do something youve made clear is upsetting, and if she perhaps has some other frustrations she isnt telling you. Its certainly not a very loving way to behave.

It’s been a year for her to get used to it. You need to decide what you are going to do if she never changes.

Why does she have to call you by your stage name?

It's not like you have changed. If she can't accept this then it's a her problem, not a you problem.

Who are you?

Edit: Ohhh you replied to op too

Cool joke man

I was joking man.

Don’t say anything unless brought into a meeting about it. At that point say “I didn’t mean to, I was unfortunately experiencing a symptom from a medical condition I have and I wasn’t aware anyone could see me. It won’t happen again” and hopefully that’s enough. You can also offer to give an apology to those who saw and take whatever sensitivity training the company wants you to.

What’s funny is I subscribe to the r/whatsthisbug feed and I was sitting here guessing what the bugs were 😅

Did… did you finish reading the post?

It wasn’t bugs
