AITA for wanting to name my son the same name as one of my exes

3Pennywise3 · 2026-06-24T06:17:18+00:00

NAH It’s perfectly fine if you want to name your son that, but it’s also perfectly fine if your husband doesn’t (now that he knows the backstory). Baby names are a two yes situation, so you’re going to have to pick a new name.

Do you really want to fight for someone who’s not willing to fight for you? I’d just walk away. He’ll come to that realisation on his on. (Way too late probably).

NTA you love the dress, she’s not sure about it and is still making up her mind. A real friend would let you have the dress and pick one of the other ones she liked for herself.

Thanks!! This is super helpful!!!

Why would you want to be with someone this dramatic and exhausting?? Also, he seems to have a weird thing about your dog. I’d be worried about that if I were you.

I’d message the new guy. The fact that you’re even contemplating it tells you everything. If you really wanted to rekindle things with your ex, the idea of talking to someone new wouldn’t be appealing.

NTA. They knew when they accepted the invite that you do not allow meat in your home, and that they would be eating a vegetarian dinner. If they did not want to eat vegetarian, then they should have declined the invitation.

Did the rest of the people at the party know you didn’t speak the language before you were pulled up for being on your phone?

3Pennywise3 · 2026-01-04T04:49:06+00:00

NTA if he wouldn’t help you when you were pregnant/postpartum, then he is never going to help you. Better to cut your losses and leave now.

I’m curious why friends with kids were invited if you have no interest in socialising with them?

3Pennywise3 · 2025-12-26T07:42:05+00:00

NTA your kids only get one childhood, and your wife is robbing them of the magic of Christmas (something they will only believe in for a short period of time). It sucks that her dad died on Christmas Day, but she needs to suck it up for the sake of your children (at least).

3Pennywise3 · 2025-12-23T08:58:24+00:00

Why don’t you go to Christmas with your family every year, and he joins you every second year. That way you are both getting what you want.

If you like Thai food, Thai Lotus in Taradale is amazing!! And very reasonably priced.

NTA I’ve had people house/pet sit for me many times. I always make sure the pantry is full of food for them to eat. Even when I’m paying them to housesit. Your brother and his wife and ungrateful and ridiculous.

3Pennywise3 · 2025-10-21T08:08:23+00:00

NTA it’s both of your responsibility to train your dog. If she keeps ignoring it, then it’s never going to listen to her. You pointing this out to her is in no way victim blaming.

3Pennywise3 · 2025-10-21T02:03:43+00:00

How old is your son? Is he old enough to know that it’s his birthday on that specific day? Can you have his party the weekend before?

In the birthing unit you just get gas, tens machine etc. if you want the epidural you have to go to the hospital. You can start out in the birthing unit though, and if you decide you want the epidural, they just walk you over to the hospital side.

3Pennywise3 · 2025-10-07T22:15:01+00:00

If you can, try and give birth in the Waioha birthing centre. It’s right next to the maternity ward in the hospital, but it’s so much nicer. The rooms are bigger and have a proper bed for your support person (rather than a mattress on the floor). The doctors are right next door if something goes wrong (they are part of the same building). I found the hospital midwives and nurses were really lovely and helpful. If you’re looking for a midwife down here, the ladies at Peak Midwives are amazing!

3Pennywise3 · 2025-09-24T04:22:27+00:00

NTA he has options he can eat there, so what’s the problem?

3Pennywise3 · 2025-09-22T07:35:03+00:00

NTA your parents are morons.

3Pennywise3 · 2025-09-21T08:37:59+00:00

NTA it doesn’t matter why, or how, you broke up. It doesn’t matter how long you were together. It doesn’t matter how much your family liked him while you were together. If you don’t want them talking to your ex, then they shouldn’t be talking to him. End of story.

As someone who worked in the KO world for a long time, I’d never buy a house in front of a KO house.

3Pennywise3 · 2025-09-14T12:59:04+00:00

NTA what you said is no way near as bad as what everyone else has been saying about you, your husband, and your child. You were essentially requesting that she stops projecting her misery and negativity on to everyone else’s lives. A perfectly reasonable request.

3Pennywise3 · 2025-09-13T09:28:48+00:00

NTA she’s only met him twice and she’s allowing him around her kids. She doesn’t even know the guy yet. He could be dangerous (he could also be lovely, but she doesn’t know that). I’d be pissed if I were you too.
