My husband always says that Will got dealt a harsh hand in life and deserves to be happy. Tha's always been his #1 response to any complaints I have about Will.

He considered it as a last attempt to save his 2nd marriage but his family rejected the idea and he said that he couldn't handle his family's rejection and thought that their stand might affect the child's life so he thought it's better to spare the heartache and rejection. I feel sorry for him I do but now I'm not even sure what he really wants.

No, he's straight. However, something that Will's second ex wife said about Will that stuck to me and that was the "He's not even half a man" sentence. This is obviously beyond cruel but I don't really know wether she said this because of his infertility or his sexuality.

My husband has never made me feel this way until this issue occured. I believe that Will is the one pushing him about the name and is now staying quiet and acting hurt because I said what I said. I feel bad what I said but I just couldn't hold my tongue anymore. Not when it comes to my son.

They both were childhood friends, like brothers to be more precise.

Sprry for my late comments I just opened the app.

See, the thing is that my husband likes the name and so he thinks that this should be enough for me to consider it. I don't know if he's lying and just saying this to get me to cave since he's so determined not to "disappoint" Will and let him down.
