'I'm considering divorce since my husband insists on naming our baby after his ex-girlfriend'

A woman is considering ending her marriage after discovering the peculiar reason behind her husband's choice of baby name .

The couple's disagreement over the name led to a heated argument, prompting the woman to seek advice on Reddit. She posted: "Hello Reddit. This title might look funny but it's an actual problem between me (23F) and my husband (24M). We've been dating for a year, been married for 2 years.

"I got pregnant like 7 months ago so recently we started discussing names for the baby. Ever since we found out it's gonna be a girl my husband wants to name it like his exes name. It's not any ex but the one he dated for a long period of time and loved the most.

• 'I pranked my husband during childbirth - he deserved it after what he did'
• 'My ex and I loved this baby name - now he's using it with his new girlfriend'

"In the beginning of our relationship, we had many 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 it's affecting me and keeps saying it's just the hormones. Is he still in love with the ex or is it normal that he wants to name OUR child like that?"

Reddit users were quick to offer their two cents.

One user commented: "I'm more concerned about his lack of respect for you as his partner, his number one, his wife. You might try relationship counseling but I suspect his disrespect extends beyond the baby naming issue."

Another added their voice: "Wow! He just told you, you are second best. He blatantly is saying he settled with you. No way."

And a third advised: "I never thought I'd recommend this for any issue, but here I go - I would call his mom and have her take care of her acting like a toddler who lost a teddy bear son - get her to straighten him out. Also, if I were his ex and I found out about this, I'd be so freaked out that I'd look into a restraining order. This is not normal."
