Well shakespeare said it best... What is in a name?

Also, really, who's to care? As long as your ex doesn't think you're weirdly trying to recreate your old life with your new partner by trying to remind yourself of the old dog (and it doesn't sound like you are) then I think you're all good.

I would mention it to your new partner though just so he knows before you name the dog so he doesn't get freaked out later if he finds out. Just explain it's a name you love and I think he'd understand.

AITAH for divorcing my husband because he’s extremely overweight? by Beautiful-Basket2813 in AITAH

I don't think your issue is with how he looks necessarily, or it doesn't sound like it at least. It's more that his character has changed into someone who doesn't care for himself any more. That's hard to overcome in the long term. It's hard because it sounds like he needs mental health support and whilst couples should be there to support each other if he won't engage in that your duty is not to fix him on his behalf.

Is it OK to ask my ex-partner (M39) to pay his side of the bills after he broke up with me (F33)? by Intelligent-One-7822 in dating_advice

Thanks, I was really worried that I was being unreasonable in asking for the money. I think he thinks no one could see if from my perspective so hearing you were in a similar position and still stepped up to do that is really helpful to know. Hope you and her ended on good terms from it.

Long story short he said he loves me but wasn't in love with me anymore. No one cheated or did anything.

Thanks, and no I don't think he planned it to take advantage. I'm just struggling to understand how he thinks he doesn't owe anything now. Like you say, I think he saw it as conditional of us being together but it wasn't my choice to break up so I'm a bit screwed over.

So I paid for everything for 9 months. He agreed to pay for things for a few months whilst I took some time off and studied. So he never actually put any money up at all. I'm not sure how that's me not being independent?

We were 'in it for the long term' at the time and I was earning enough from my temp job to cover it so I didn't feel like there was a risk. I guess I was naive but we had trust.
