Man ‘heartbroken’ after pregnant wife wants to name son after her ex-boyfriend

A man is asking the internet for advice after his wife revealed her baby name choice.

The couple are expecting a baby boy but the mum-to-be wants to name him after her ex-partner.

However it hasn't gone down well with her husband as he revealed it's "killing him" to consider a name after her ex.

Posting on Reddit, the man said: "We have been married two years.

"Before we got together she was with a guy named X for several years.

"They were on the verge of moving in together when she dumped him. I met her a few months after.

"Also they share a whole friend group and have always stayed in touch."

But now the wife wants to name her baby boy after her ex-partner after he died in a terrible accident.

The man added: "I was on a business trip when my wife went to his funeral (she did invite me to go but I couldn't get out of it).

"She was broken up about it but no more or less than anyone who has had someone they care about die.

"I thought she was over it until we recently found out she was pregnant."

When the couple discussed baby names, the wife wanted to give their son her partner's first or last name as his middle name.

He continued: "I'm heartbroken that she wants to. She says he was such a big part of her life and we should honour his memory.

"Plus we wouldn't be together if she hadn't ended things with him. I said I'd think about it but I don't really know what to tell her.

"Our marriage is otherwise perfect. Should I let this go? How will I ever get past this?"

Since the man shared his dilemma on Reddit, hundreds of users told the man that they understood why he was uncomfortable.

One wrote: "I would not be okay with my bf wanting to name our child his ex's name. That is so not fair to you even if he passed away.

"She may need to see a therapist cause it sounds like she's got some issues surrounding her ex."

Another added: "There are many ways she can honour his memory. Having his name attached to your child is not one of them."
