Well my name is Michael and my girlfriend refuses to call me that. She only calls me Mike. She also hates it when others call me Michael and corrects them with "Umm it's Mike not Michael." Even my mother. But she says it with more respect talking to my mom. Does this seem werid or overly possesive to anyone? Or should I just go with it?

LadyGoodman answered Sunday December 18 2005, 6:34 pm: Your girlfriend is pretty strange. I bet you already knew that. I can't believe that she has the audacity to say something like that to your mom, even if she says it with "more respect" when talking to her. Your mother was the one who named you! I don't know if overly possessive is the right phrase to use here, but it's definitely a bit rude and should be stopped, especially if you prefer being called Micheal to Mike. If anything, at least tell her not to tell your family members what to call you. That's not her place at all. [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]

KiSSxMYxPEARLS answered Sunday December 18 2005, 3:34 pm: Simply tell her that you want to be called Michael. Say that you don't like Mike. Tell her not to correct people if they call you Michael. But say it nicely, you don't want to hurt her feelings. =).

Eh, just go with it, unless it bothers you that shes doing that. If it is bothering you, just let her know that you like it when everyone else except for her calls you michael.And that you only like it when she calls you Mike. Hope I helped!
hEythErex3 answered Sunday December 18 2005, 3:01 pm: Okay, I think your girlfriends being alittle like uhm bossy, if that's not your name then .. don't have her call you that. But it really does'nt matter. But If she says it in an ingrent way to your mother or whatever, I think thats rude. She's probly a great girl .. and I might be wrong. But if you don't like it, tell her.. and if she continues, then don't answer to Mike. Hope I helped. =/ [ hEythErex3's advice column | Ask hEythErex3 A Question ]
