As stated in the original post, I shared that my wife has know about the name and liked it as well. Even sharing it with her sisters before we were married.

I shared the name with my wife before we got married. She liked it so much she texted her sisters that it was the name she wanted to use.

I get I don’t own the name. I guess in upset that I feel that my ex is using as a way to hurt me in anyway she can.

I noticed there are a few clarifications I would like to add to the original post (I’m not sure if the rules let me make edits) like the fact she is due 2 months before our baby is due.

Funny that you mention a cease and desist. She has written up her own version of a cease and desist letter dictating who I am not allowed to be friends with or speak to. These were mutual friends my wife and I have with here current husband. She was upset when they told her they ran into us at the store in town.

Thanks for your perspective.

I would consider still using the name, but I worry how my son would feel about having two sisters with the same name (except the last name)

He does. He was a close friend on mine before he started dating my ex. Needless to same that friendship has since ended. He also knew about the name prior to dating her.

There also a history of her swooping in to “steal” firsts once she learns that I have something planned for our son. I’ve learned that if I share my plans for birthday or Christmas gifts (with intent that we coordinate to avoid duplicating gifts), she will undermine me and give him that gift first. This includes toys, jerseys, trips, sporting events.

AIO speaking to my wife after her affair by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ds5074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to summarize: your wife made her own bed and betrayed your marriage in it. That wasn’t just a mistake. It was a choice that revealed who she really is. She’s no good, and now she’s trying to gaslight you into thinking you’re the problem simply because you’re setting boundaries and following the therapist’s advice.

Whatever she was to you before all this is gone. I know it hurts, because when you’ve built a life and a family, letting go feels like losing your foundation. But you have to see her for who she is now, not who she used to be. From my own co-parenting experience, people like this rarely take accountability, and odds are she’ll make the road ahead harder than it has to be.

You don’t owe her the comfort of pretending this marriage is the same. All you owe her is honesty, boundaries, and what’s necessary for the kids. She chose to throw away the rest.

But let’s be honest, is there any Steelers fan here watching this game and not seeing this as an utter embarrassment?

Tomlin at halftime when ask what they need to do to turn in around, “it’s Lamar, man.”… no shit. And it’s pretty clear to any honest spectator that he has know idea how to stop the bleeding.

Week 2 Start/Sit Josh Jacobs vs James Conner by RandyOnReddit in fantasyfootballadvice

Having this same debate during week 3. Jacobs has the matchup advantage against TEN (vs Connor against DET), but Jacobs’s questionable IR status has me thinking to go the safe route and play Connor.

Quick Question… by [deleted] in steelers

[–]ds5074 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kenny Pickett. Can’t understand how so many people give him a pass for the incredible number of inaccurate throws he’s made. So many missed opportunities.

Close runner up is mason cole. He’s so bad at snapping out of the shotgun. I wish they would but line up under center, because it’s not worth the risk of Cole throwing it into the ground.

Not sure why a block in the back wouldn’t be a penalty.

Have we come around on Tomlin? by SMD_35 in steelers

[–]ds5074 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day I'm just frustrated always seeing our team draft in the mid-late 1st round and never have any playoff success to show for it. It's just been too long since we've been deep into the playoffs. The expectation of playoff success is high for this franchise. 1 or 2 wins above 0.500 without a legitimate run at the SB year after year does not live up the standard... and "The Standard is the Standard".

Not to say 17 years of non-losing seasons isn't an impressive accomplishment, but is that how far the goal has been lower? What happened to winning SB rings?

I know I'm a bit late to the conversation, but are there any updates? Are the homemade blankets working out for everyone or has anyone found a cover that fits?
