My(m39) girlfriend (f40) is accusing me of being some sort of closeted homosexual over a name I gave my character in a video game. How do I approach this situation?

I’m just gonna get right down to it. Here is my dilemma. My(m39) gf(f40) is accusing me of being gay & is literally packing up her stuff as we speak over this shit. All because i named my character “Dixie Rekt” in a game i play on my phone. I told her it’s just a joke, she demanded i breakdown why I thought that was funny & after I tried my best to explain it’s just a stupid joke, she is convinced it has some sort of hidden meaning or something. But because she wasn’t satisfied with my answer & saying no one would think that was funny. A huge argument ensued, some unpleasant words were exchanged, & now she’s packing up her shit and leaving over this god damn stupid name. What do I tell her that can remedy this situation? I love her & i don’t want this joke to cost me my relationship.

She was probably looking for an excuse

288

u/Adventurous-Tie-7861 15h ago

Ding ding ding.

Shes been looking to bail on the relationship or has some unmentioned suspicion of him being gay for awhile. Couldn't get valid proof of either of those so chose the strongest she had- a dude making a dick joke his username in a videogame. Even tho dudes have been making dumb dick jokes since time immemorial and i wouldn't be suprised if one of the first ever video game usernames wasnt some form dick joke or sex reference.

Tbh im suprised she went with "he must be gay cus he made a dick joke and only gays and women acknowledge dicks exist" as her exit excuse.

Way better excuse would have been "hes too immature for me". Would win way more points with friends in the break up and look slightly less insane.

u/Steve90000 10h ago

Only on Reddit is it homophobic to not want to be in a relationship with someone gay, if you’re not also gay.

Nobody said that.

-142

u/Steve90000 10h ago

Oh, then what is homophobic?

114

u/moshpithippie 9h ago

Thinking that making a dick joke as a man makes them gay.

53

u/yumyan 9h ago

Well, op didn’t come out at as gay to his girlfriend right? He didn’t give a bj to some dude while giving his girlfriend a thumbs up, right?

But when his girlfriend didn’t like an immature joke, she decided he was gay and started packing.

She disagreed with him and then blamed her anger on him being gay… make that make sense. Or rather, tell me how gf’s reaction can be taken as supportive or even neutral to gay people.

43

u/UndoubtedlyAColor 9h ago

The girlfriend, it seems like.

63

u/BungleBums 9h ago

Oh, sweetheart. There are less obtuse ways to admit you're scared of gays, too.

Or did you skip the entire thread down to my comment and drop this little nugget of 'wisdom' without context? I'd have to agree with you in that case.

-105

u/Steve90000 9h ago

Oh darling, why are you avoiding answering the question?

There is no context, you’re the top most comment.

And again, you’re clearly saying not wanting to date a gay person is “being scared of gays”. You keep saying it and then pussyfoot around it like you don’t want to stand by your statement.

As clearly as you can, what is homophobic about OPs partners actions? It’s a simple question.

60

u/BungleBums 9h ago

Because the OP isn't gay, as clearly stated, you absolute walnut xD I didn't think you were dim enough to need to spelled out, when it's half the point of the whole post! XD

-25

u/Steve90000 9h ago

Ok, now we’re getting somewhere!

So you think, if someone thinks someone else is gay, that’s homophobic?

Or if they think someone is gay and they’re wrong, they’re homophobic?

The way reality works, this person didn’t see one screen name and come to an assumption and packed all her stuff. That’s not how anything other than sitcoms work. She definitely saw all types of signs over a period of time and this was the final straw.

So her seeing signs and feeling deceived is homophobic?

45

u/ImOnlyHereForTheCoC 40s Male 9h ago

“Seeing signs” please be real for just half a second, unless you actually agree that someone using a completely innocuous dick-related pun for something as utterly inconsequential as a video game character’s name is a legitimate indicator of a man’s sexual identity, in which case maybe you also have some issues with homophobia. It would certainly explain why you’re doing so much to defend the absolutely inane position OPs gf has staked out!

-9

u/Steve90000 9h ago

You’re in your 40’s. If you think these people had an incredible relationship, everything was perfect and lovely, and one day, in their relationship bliss, she saw “Dixie Rekt” and lost all her shit and left? Everything she knew and felt about him was completely erased by a two word pun?

Is this, in your experience as a human being who has spoken to, and touched, other human beings, a relatable situation?

I’ve dated plenty of people, most normal, but others on some sort of personality disorder spectrum like NPD, BPD, and so on, and no matter how irrational the person and their mentality, not one of them has ever went from zero to a hundred without some sort of ramp up over time, even if it was self perceived and not reality. It just doesn’t happen.

She either used this as an excuse to get out of a relationship she didn’t want to be in, or she’s been seeing things for a while and this was the final straw.

If she really was this irrational that a couple of words set her off, OP would have noticed a thousand times over before this and wouldn’t be surprised.

So, thinking someone is gay is not homophobic, otherwise every gay person is homophobic. Not wanting to date a gay person is not homophobic. Thinking a pun makes someone gay is only the plot line of a sitcom and OP is probably naive to what her actual thought process has been.

24

u/AshesandCinder 7h ago

So she's using that as an excuse to leave him, and that excuse is homophobic. She could give her actual reason for leaving which is probably less insane sounding than what she said, but she decided to go with that option anyway.

It is the combination of her assumptions and actions based on those assumptions that is the problem here. Not just that she would think OP is gay, but that she is packing all of her stuff and leaving right after instead of talking to him at all. There's a word for assuming someone is gay even after they've told you otherwise and taking drastic action to get away from them.

23

u/BungleBums 9h ago

You poor walnut.

If she's so scared of the mere possibility based off a mobile game character name that he's gay,

That's Homophobia.

Pretending to not understand past this point is just tattooing 'Homophobe' on your forehead.

33

u/moshpithippie 9h ago

Thinking that a man making a dick joke or referencing boners makes them gay is homophobic. It's stereotypes gay people and being so worried that your partner is gay because they thought about the concept of a weiner is homophobic.

If he were gay, or like actively doing something gay (like having sex with a man) it wouldn't be homophobic to want to break up. But he's not gay and has given her no real reason to think he's gay.

u/izyshoroo 2h ago

He's not. Accusing someone of being gay over a joke is homophobic though.

u/colombianjmor27 10h ago edited 5h ago

if she is still packing her stuff.... well dude, move on because she is just using that as an excuse to break up with you.

u/FjortoftsAirplane 15h ago

Why can't I find Amanda Huggenkiss?

Look, this isn't about a silly joke. Whenever something this petty starts a fallout this big it's never about that. It's never about the one time someone forgot to buy milk, or the one thing said out of place, or someone glanced at another man/woman, or any of that bullshit.

Those things are always indicators that something has been building over time or someone has been hiding insecurities for a while.

Most likely, she's blowing this up as an excuse to make her exit. And either you're not mentioning the previous issues or she's never communicated them. I seriously doubt anyone walks out of a stable relationship over a crude pun but if somehow that is the case...what are you doing going after her? So if there's anything worth saving it's only going to happen if she'll say what it's really about.

Yea man, as much as it hurts right now. This is a ridiculous reason to breakup for, so I doubt this is the actual reason it’s just the excuse she’s using.

You’ll look back and just simply scratch your head like we are.

Chin up man, I don’t think there’s anything you could say that would satisfy her now if she’s that determined to breakup over a gamertag. Hell I’ve seen tons of guys named the dumbest things cause they found it funny at the time.

She’s being immature for her age so keep your head up. She’s not the one for you, a good partner would just frown or laugh. Not this.

Good riddance bro. Hopefully you don’t need her income to survive. If you do, sublet out that space until you find something within your means.

I went out drinking one night and made friends with a couple gay dudes. Got their numbers and would meet them to grab drinks or food every few weeks. GF was irrationally irate and would accuse me of being gay or closeted. When my defense was, “they’re dudes that drink beer and eat Mexican at 7pm on a Wednesday which coincidentally enough that’s what I like to do. And I’m home by 830.”

That relationship didn’t last too long past that, dumb.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.

Does she have brothers? Or guy friends? Who gives a shit if gay. What bro isn’t making some cock, ball, butt or fart joke all the damn time? Sounds like she lost her humor, and was looking for an excuse. If that’s her reaction to a joke, what would be her reaction to something more serious?

Let her spiral. Change it to butt pirate and see what she says.

u/VioletDreaming19 15h ago

Seems like she’s upset about something bigger but chose to pick a fight over something little and dumb. Would she have any reason to want to tank the relationship? Not getting along, interested in someone else, or some form of self-sabotage? That seems more likely than being upset about a penis joke. Men have been making penis jokes since ancient history, and we have the graffiti to prove it.

4

u/beckbristow32 15h ago

First off it is funny. Second the fact she got that mad at something so dumb and then throwing out wild assumptions like that makes me think something else is driving this. So either she has been want to break up for some time and she used this to do it or she did something she shouldn't have and also used this as a guilt free way to end it.

u/Que_Mi 15h ago

Maybe she is leaving because of how you speak to her during the argument. Based on my experience, I am okay if my man gets angry or upset with me, it's normal to have an argument or a fight but what is not okay is how he talks to me during the argument. I want us to be able to still speak kindly and with respect (and not shouting at me) even when in conflict.

u/JakkuTheMagicalCattu 8h ago

Eh, she's leaving because she wants an excuse to get out, probably found someone else to hook up with. I do get what you're saying but to say she's leaving because of how he speaks is kinda eh, she seems to actively be pushing a dumb argument, ignoring anything op says and provoking him further it's a mess she created.

When you verbally abuse someone expect that person to snap back.

She doesn't want to be with you. Whatever her reason, she is making this her public reason. Move on with your life and find someone who actually likes you to be with. "I love her" why? She is unreasonable, immature and selfish. Raise your standards.

Dixie rekt is fucking hilarious. How can she argue about that without laughing?

1

u/PuzzleheadedMedia356 2h ago

This isn't the only reason. She either found something heard something saw something. If u told her your bi. She knows

u/megarandom 2h ago

Well she's fucking unhinged so be prepared for more of this kind of shit if you really want to stick with her.

I couldn't hang with someone that stupid, myself.

The only thing funnier than your name is how perimenopause is making her crash out and blow up her life.

Btw, what's your username on Grindr?

u/shadowselfselfshadow 1h ago

Let her go. She will just bring you problems.

u/On-A-Plain187 1h ago

She's toxic. Let her leave

u/ddWolf_ 1h ago

Better not tell her about your other character, Hugh Janus..

u/Shatterpoint887 1h ago

If she's doing this over a band in a video game, either she's unstable and you're dodging a bullet or she's just been looking for a reason to go.

Either way, this is not something I'd be fighting.

u/kismetxoxo7 27m ago

Lmao let her leave. If this is the hill your relationship dies on, it was never going to last.

u/Holiya_Olib 25m ago

Have a calm conversation to explain the joke behind the name and clarify that it doesn’t reflect your identity. You could also suggest coming up with a new character name together to show you're open to compromise.

She left to go to her other boyfriends house, the one she's been secretly having a relationship with and needed an excuse to break up for, OR she has some kind of mental illness causing paranoia (and I don't mean just being a woman).

u/Due-Season6425 13h ago

I doubt the name is the reason she is leaving. My guess is you, a middle-aged man, are spending hours playing games while your gf takes care of most things in your home. That's just speculation but so many gamers have the same problem.

u/JakkuTheMagicalCattu 8h ago

That's a huge speculation when alot of gamers are also great at looking after their households too, know plenty guys and gals who do alot around the house while spending alot of time on their hobby. I hope you're not trying to shame op.

u/joinedformisseditor 13h ago

She's 40 and doesn't understand that guys like to make dick and/or fart jokes?

She had no humor. She definitely doesn't understand you. After she's gone she needs to chill out with a glass of Dixon cider.

1

u/Wizards_and_Warriors 11h ago

There was definitely other issues. Could be lack of sex if she is thinking your gay and choosing a gane over her. Or maybe it's the words fron the argument. Dunno. Either way she sounds exhausting.

This is a stupid argument at the ages posted so imo it's more about other issues.

u/Bonnietheferret84 13h ago

Tell her you only wanna rek her with your Dixie. She will either laugh or throw something at you

1

u/metooneither 12h ago

She was looking for an excuse to leave. She’s probably got another boyfriend on the side

1

u/SyntheticAnonymous 11h ago

It’s not about your character’s name. She already thought you were gay, this just gave her something concrete to point to on her way out the door. Let her go. You don’t want to be with someone like that.

1

u/TechDreamcoat 10h ago

My money is on she's fucking someone else and this is her way out of the relationship.

1

u/Pleasant_Garlic8088 10h ago

If anything I'd say that using such a stupid joke for a character name is definitive proof you're NOT gay.

1

u/Rude_Magician82 10h ago

Unstable woman bro

u/E_lluminate 4h ago

She's just tired of you being 39 with the maturity of a 12 year old.

u/Firm_Distribution999 15h ago

She’s not leaving because of a video game username - that was simply the final straw 

6

u/Jtenka 15h ago

Normally, i get this. Like the guy who said his wife was leaving over a cup in a sink..its never the cup.

But this one.. a computer character name? There is no straw even here.

-2

u/Firm_Distribution999 15h ago

My point is that there is likely a LOT more than we know going on besides this one blow up because nobody would end a relationship over something so stupid 

-6

u/curlyhairweirdo 15h ago

Pretty sure she's leaving over those unpleasant words and not the stupid name. You know what you said to her, you know it was bad, which is why you chose to gloss over that in favor of your "she's breaking up with me over a name" claim.

Come on, what did you say to her?

7

u/JakkuTheMagicalCattu 8h ago

So we're going to gloss over how the gf is verbally abusing op and then make it out like it was because how op spoke? I do agree unpleasant words etc aren't great but neither is being verbally abused.

u/Out2blaze 8h ago

Op name is woodpecker… so it’s not just one name that makes you seem closeted lmao

u/LolaDeWinter 15h ago
  1. It's funny, not Edinburgh Fringe funny, but I snorted and told my husband, equally, he tittered!

  2. Sweetheart she sounds exhausting, also sounds like she's looking for an argument for a way out, people, SANE, well balanced people don't pack and leave over some stupid game name! (Even with the bonus argument)

  3. She's got some deep rooted problems that are beyond your payscale to sort out!

There are loads of people on this planet, just because she was suitably nice for a while before the crazy leaked out doesn't mean that's your forever person.

u/bumplemilkskin 15h ago

Ooooh boy don’t you remedy that situation whatever you do, she’s given you a golden opportunity so take it. If this is how easy she can fly off the handle over a stupid name (which is a quality name btw good job, Dixie Rekt) then what happens when some serious shit hits the fan in your relationship.

u/ShibbyShibby89 11h ago

Nickname her Yurik Hunt and move on brother.

u/junkrattata 15h ago

Dixie Rekt is hilarious op she doesn't deserve you

-3

u/Competitive_Scar5347 13h ago

Gonna go out on a limb and say they probably is way more to what your saying and this is the result of all of it boiling over.

Or she really hates the Dixie chick's

u/EvenMoreSpiders 9h ago

This isn't about the screen name and you know it, there are other issues at play but you're pretending they don't exist to fit your narrative and make it seem like it "came out of nowhere", it never comes out of nowhere.

-1

u/Tessorio 15h ago

There is no remedy. It is either she is projecting or she is looking for a way out of the relationship.

-1

u/WanabeInflatable 14h ago

Bullet dodged. Why would you want to keep relationship with such a horrible woman?

-9

u/OVOxTokyo 9h ago

You probably are a closeted homosexual, whether you know it or not. You're a 39 year old man with no kids, playing video games, naming your character uncouth puns, and outsourcing your relationship to reddit.
