Everyone Calls His Wife Michael And He’s Telling The Internet Now It’s Just Making Him Upset
A man is married to his wife, and back when her mom first became pregnant with her, they thought she was going to be a boy instead of a girl.
His wife mom and dad wanted to name her Michael since they genuinely figured she was going to be a boy.
When she was born they quickly realized she was not a boy, and so, they didn’t officially name her Michael.
“However for whatever reason, they made Michael her nickname and everyone calls her that,” he explained.
“Her name isn’t Michael. When I met her, I found it kinda cute that everyone called her that. Now it’s just annoying. Hardy anyone calls my wife her name. Her parents, friends, family, coworkers – she’ll tell complete strangers to call her Michael.”
At this point, he finds the fact that people call his wife Michael just upsetting, and he even suggested to his wife that she could use the nickname Michelle instead since it’s more girly, but his wife refused to do that since it’s not her nickname.
“We got into a small argument where I pointed out she’s not taking my feelings into consideration here! I even had someone ask me once if my wife was trans cause of the name Michael,” he said.
Their argument ended with his wife telling him to leave their house and come back when they can discuss things.
He didn’t want to leave though, so she packed some things and left to be with her brother. He decided to phone her up a little while later thinking things had “cooled down,” at which point he again brought up to his wife that he wants her to switch her nickname to save their marriage.

“She hung up on me,” he continued. “I’m not asking much. Just don’t want people calling my wife Michael anymore!”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“You’re going to lose your wife over a name – shows how much you actually love her. She deserves so much better. I hope she and her family put you where you belong – in the past.”
“She’s had the name her whole life and embraces it. She was Michael when you met her, she was Michael when you proposed. She was Michael when you got married.”
“She is Michael. You are the problem.”
“She’ll be Michael when she divorces him too.”
“I also go by a typically considered masculine version of my birth name. My father called me by this name my entire life, a “nickname” of sorts.”
“I always liked it so that’s what I started going by.”
“My partner has no problem with it, the only people that seem to take issue with it are generally people I don’t want to spend time with anyway, getting very angry and demanding to know what my “real name” is.”
“My husband’s name is more typically a girl’s name so sometimes people assume that I’m a lesbian when I tell them my spouse’s name. You know what I do about it? Nothing.”
“Because it literally doesn’t matter what strangers think about my life. I’d never even consider asking him to go by a more masculine version of his name cause it’s not my place to demand that. And it’s not yours either.”
“It’s her name, her business. You don’t get to decide what she likes to be called, especially since she’s not asking YOU to change what you call her. Also, way to throw in some casual transphobia on top of it.”
“Have you never heard of the actress Michael Learned?”
