Girlfriend [f34] wants me [m31] to be the gay friend so she and her girlfriends can get invited to NYE party. So just for some reference, we’ve been together 2 years. It’s been super up and down at times and it culminated with her breaking things off and going into NC mode. I deserved it, I had let my insecurities take over and we both treated each other badly. I went to a therapeut which helped me a lot into getting comfortable with my own feelings and handling myself. We met up a couple of days ago, kinda out of the blue, and in the end she asked me to join her on a trip for NYE. We’ve been here a couple of days and it’s been really great. We’ve had some small issues but this time around, instead of letting insecurities blow it out of proportion, I’ve handled them very well. Now to the point. We went out for drinks tonight with her female friends, who we are also going out to dinner with on NYE. The only plan that has been made is for dinner. They start talking about finding a home party for after dinner. I make the suggestion that we could just go out to a night club. But I’m getting the feeling that her friends doesn’t have the budget for it. My girlfriend and her friend goes outside to smoke while I stay with the other friend just having a normal conversation. They get back in, and apperantly they’ve been talking to some guys also smoking, and it turns out they are having a NYE party that they got invited to. My girlfriend tells me that I’ll have to go as the gay friend, because ”that’s how it works, they’re not going to invite a boyfriend”. Me, feeling super degraded, tell her and her friends how lovely that feels, with as much composure I can, not trying to make a scene, and ask them how it would feel if they dated a guy and they had to play the role of their side-bitch so he and his friend could go to a party. They didn’t really answer. Fast forward, me and my girlfriend are on our wat back home, she can tell that I’m upset and tells me to not hold things in, while I know that she’s going to get pissed if I tell her I’m upset about the fact that she’d rather crush my selfworth than give me the credit of being the guy she dates just so she and her friends can go to some random guys party on NYE. So I tell her I love her, but I’m not going to let myself get trampled on like that, and that if she wants to go so badly, she can, but I’m not going as her gay friend. She gets pissed and has been throwing a tantrum over it, I’ve just continued to keep my chill. So my question is, am I overreacting here? Should I just swallow it and go as the gay friend? Or is she degrading me?

"Yeah, I go to this college" "Sure, I live on this block" "I'm a friend of the groom's" "No, it's actually *my* birthday" "Hi it's me, the gay friend"

The thing is you have until the people at the party figure out that you actually weren't invited to convince them that you're worth partying with, so dorks like reddit guy probably aren't going to be able to pull it off

If it's just a few guys inviting a few girls over to try and get with them, things change. If they have their own gay friend they try to introduce to the guy, then things will undoubtedly go very wrong. If "they won't invite a boyfriend", it's probably the latter

A 34 year-old can't possibly be that inexperienced and stupid to not know what's up. Even then there's nothing wrong with asking her boyfriend to pretend to be gay to help act as a wedge if he's that kind-of guy, but as we established your average reddit dork is not that guy.

As a gay, I would be put off as hell if I found out some girl went and told her boyfriend to play pretend gay to go to a party where straight boyfriends were not wanted. That's why I think she is an rear end in a top hat too.

That's why I think she is an rear end in a top hat too. She's an rear end in a top hat because she wants to go to a party with guys trying to hook up and she wants her supposed boyfriend to act gay in case she decides to get with one of them. I say supposed boyfriend because he says they broke up and went no contact and just so happened to run into each other a few days ago and decided to hang out one night (the night the proposal to go to the party came up) so part of me thinks they really aren't dating or the she has a very different definition of their relationship than he does.

AITA for giving my kid a "heavy" name? My wife and I had a baby a few weeks ago, and we sent out a birth announcement to friends and family with our son's name and stats. With permission from my wife, I'll share his first name: Llewellyn. My wife fell in love with the name and intends to call him Lew or Wells. I wasn't fond of it at first, but it grew on me. I had a close friend send me a screenshot of another friend's text saying my wife and I were setting our kid up for failure with a name like that. Another family member also asked if we were planning on nicknames, because that's an unfair name to give a child. Another friend pretended not to be able to pronounce it and just referred to him as Baby. I'm honestly at a loss for words. No one's said anything about how my wife or son are doing, just rude comments on his name. We were planning on having people over to meet him next week, but I feel really betrayed by the reactions my friends have had. AITA here for naming our son what we wanted?

But how is it suppose to be pronounced? Lou-Ellen? As in the Simpsons character and Ellen DeGeneres? If you had to decide on a nickname before they were even born, you gave them a bad name. Just give them the nickname. Cyks fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Dec 31, 2019 |

Cyks posted:But how is it suppose to be pronounced? Lou-Ellen? As in the Simpsons character and Ellen DeGeneres? Yes. Lou-ellin. See, it's not that hard. I've known folks by this name in the US. And disagree about picking nicknames beforehand. Thinking through potential nicknames and making sure your kid has something to go by if they don't prefer their full legal name is just being considerate. It's no different than naming a kid Katherine so if they don't like that they can go by Kathy or Katie or Kate or whatever. In this case, if the kids decides he wants to go by something more common, he can introduce himself as Lou, which is perfectly normal. I go by a nickname rather than my legal name and I am glad I have a name with lots of options.

It’s not the expected pronunciation (it’s a place in Scotland and my dad’s side was old money 19th century immigrants) so I always have to clarify.

My main name advice is "don't pick something to be cute" after growing up knowing a kid named Z, but Llewellyn seems fine. It's an actual name.
