Husband refuses to let wife choose their new dogs' names after she named their two children alone, she struggles to accept his decision: ‘You lost the right to veto’

When the husband in the story below first explained his situation, we were all rooting for him. After all, he did let his wife choose the names of both their children, and that is not an easy thing to let go of. Everyone wants to take part in something as monumental as naming their children, and to compromise this much just to make your wife happy is quite honorable, if you ask us.

Considering this compromise, when the husband mentioned wanting to pick the names for their new puppies, we were totally for it. He should get the opportunity to choose a name for a family member, and the dogs set the perfect opportunity.

Then, we read the names he picked, and we finally understood why the husband never had a say in his children's names in the first place. He wants to name his two puppies, a brother and a sister, Jaime and Cersei, yep, after those characters from Game of Thrones….

Even though his wife is understandably uncomfortable with these names, the husband refuses to change them and claims she has no right to veto. What do you think? Keep scrolling to read the full tale and let us know in the comments below.

    AITA for telling my wife she lost the right to veto our dogs’ names after she named both our kids against my wishes?

    I've been with my wife for 10 years, married for 8, and we have 2 kids (6 and 4). When our kids were born, my wife chose both of their names. I'll be

    clemdane I think the bigger problem is it sounds like you have lingering resentment over your children's names.

    No_Pattern_5251 Dude. Why are you married to someone who you clearly don't like or respect?

    Jmfroggie The fact you still resent your wife for ALLOWING her to name your children is a problem. The fact you're bringing it up 8 years later makes it so much worse.

    Yta. Names should have been a 2- yes situation. You let her choose and now you want to hold it over her head.
