Understandable.
Parents can have disagreements over what to all their child but this story really is something else.
A woman took to Reddit to discuss how she wants to divorce her husband because he wants to name their unborn child after one of his ex girlfriends.
On the thread, she wrote that at the beginning of their relationship there were problems that included this woman but then she moved away.
“It’s not any ex but the one he dated for long period of time and loved the most. In the beginning of our relationship we had may problems because of her but she moved away so the problems went away.
“He really loved her and he never hid that from me but I thought it was over once she moved away. Now he made it clear that he wants the baby to have that name and I can name the second child.
“When I asked him why does he want that name so badly he said just because he and his ex didn’t work out doesn’t mean he doesn’t want something to keep reminding him of her. He doesn’t understand how much its affecting me and keeps saying its just the hormones. Is he still in love with the ex or its normal that he wants to name OUR child like that.”
Yes. Crazy. We’d divorce him right away.
Many Redditors responded to the post saying that the whole situation is super creepy.
One said:
“Why is this so common?? I keep reading story after story about dads who named their kids after their exes! CREEPY, DUDES. CUT THAT SHIT OUT.”
While another wrote:
“When your daughter gets older how do you explain that to her? “Oh honey, daddy wanted to name you after an ex girlfriend because even though things didn’t work out with them, that doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be reminded of her every single day.”
“I mean really?
“That’s why you keep a card or maybe a picture? Like nothing is more creepy than this.
“I don’t know if he’s still in love with her and just settled with you, or if he is just really stupid. To blame it on your hormones is a joke.”
Yep. Super, SUPER creepy.
