For not wanting to lie for DP to his family?

[Lorita]

DP and I have been together around a year and I have never met any of his family or friends. I let it go but now its coming up to a year together I've pushed the issue and only now he's admitted he hasn't let me meet anyone as he's lied to everyone about my name as he was embarrassed by my real name and didn't want everyone taking the piss so told everyone I was called Angie. Now he's saying he'll let me meet them if I promise to go along with it and not let on about my real name but I'm really struggling with this, why should I lie?? but if I don't it's going to make him look so silly.
AIBU to be really angry about this? he's making out that I'm over-thinking it but long term I don't see how I can keep up this lie, it's bound to come out sooner or later and then I'll look as bad as him.

He's either 15 or married.

Is Angie even related to your name (like you're Angel or something)? This is just plain weird.

You could be called Boris but he calls you Angie, nothing wrong with that, you just say he calls you angie but your name is Boris.

Eh? Someone's telling porkies, my money is on your "D"P.

FWIW I like folk's plan best.

the more i think about this, i'm putting together a little scenario in my head

angie is either a) his PA or b) some other work colleague

you will be able to meet his family, but he'll ask you not to touch him, or make references to any sort of physical relationship as his mother is 'highly religious and doesn't approve of sex before marriage'

and your DP is a lying twat

sorry to break it to you like that

What ForeverNamechanging said

Do you think your name is embarrassing? Just trying to establish whether he genuinely thinks that, or whether he has actually been seeing someone called Angie.

I don't think he's married. I've heard more than a few lines from married men but this doesn't feel like one of them.

I do think he's an immature knob though.

Run for the hills, this is NOT the mark of a sensible, intelligent or caring man.

Agree with everyone else. Not a keeper. But pleeease tell us your name!

Unless your parents called you FannyFace at birth, my money is on him lying to you.

How bizare! I am intrigued to knwo now how terrible your actual name is...

I'm not embarrassed by my name, it is Dorkus and Iw as named after my grandmother. I know its a little unusual but lots of people have unusual names now. I have to run but I'll be back on in an hour to explain further.

wow!! i want to read the follow up thread on this one. he is definitely trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes and i dont for 1 second think it's anything to do with your name.

I have to say I can understand why he changed it, sorry but I can.

ok so instead of altering your name slightly and calling your doris. he decided on angie as being easier to pass off as your name? really?

onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-of/dorkus ah hem!

I always thought you spelt it 'Dorcas'. Either way, your partner is a knob. Now, please tell me he's called Nigel.

what's wrong with Dorkus???

it's a Biblical name - the hebrew for Tabitha, I think.

It's one of my favourite biblical names.

He needs to fucking grow up if he can't handle telling people your name.

ah hem!

Oh bugger. Dorkus in unfortunate - sorry, Lorita. But DP is still being ridiculous and you still don't have to lie to his family.

I know that Dorcus is a name -nothing wrong with it. He is very shallow.

Still weird. Who on earth would meet someone and make comment about their name? Honestly, either his family is 'orrible or he is.

I have heard of that name before, and it can easily be shortened to Cassie or Kass.... no need at all to invent some strange random name... and certainly no reason to be hidden away from family and friends. (The spelling I know of it is Dorcas though).

ok, yes, there is some wool pulling here

Just pissed myself. Sorry Op I can completly agree with your partner. Is that a real name.

Once again Sorry up but you must realise how funny your name is
