Pregnant wife refuses to allow husband to name their daughter his ex's name in her memory, he accuses her of being jealous and puts his foot down: 'Are you a woman or a little girl? Only a little girl would be jealous'

When you say the tethering words "I do," it's really a commitment. It's not dating, and the legal bindings can feel like heavy weights on your life when one small (or big) thing goes wrong. It can be terrifying to be married already, building a life with someone, and even pregnant with their child, when you suddenly see a side that you didn't expect. There's nothing so jarring as the shock or unveiling of a truth you didn't see coming. It can feel like a betrayal in a way, and sometimes you don't see that side of someone until it's years down the road.

The woman in the story here has an experience like that – her husband lost his first love when he was 21-years-old, and will always hold onto her memory with love and care. His wife is fine with that, until he demands they name their daughter after her. The internet chimes in about what's appropriate, not only for his wife, but for his daughter as well.

AITA for not wanting to use any part of my husband's late girlfriend's name for our child?
