Idiotic baby name idea

My friend (genuinely, this not a 'friend nudge nudge') is in the late stages of pregnancy.
She has been with her partner for five years.
In the early stages of their relationship he emotionally cheated for several months but they've moved on etc etc. It's obviously still a sore subject so never brought up.
Anyway they were talking baby names and he suggested the surname of the person he cheated with as baby's first name Confused
He did it without thinking but she's annoyed at his thoughtlessness.
It's s she being unreasonable? Lol

You're being unreasonable by putting "lol" at the end of your post.

InspectorIkmen · 16/09/2018 22:23

What’s ‘lol’ about it? Confused

DrFoxtrot · 16/09/2018 22:40

She's definitely not being unreasonable to be pissed off. And I don't think it's funny either Confused

Not funny. Pretty offensive really.

OP you’re on another thread complaining of a crippling headache yet you’ve found the time to start another thread about something that doesnt concern you.

Hope the headache clears up Hmm

Taylor?

Hoare?

How sure is your friend that the affair is actually over?

I'd see this as the DH (dickhead-husband) secretly sending the OW a message to say he's thinking of her and wishing it was her baby.

Yes @lifeofdreams I'm on my bed with the left side of the back of my scalp pressed up against the pillow and headboard to relieve some of the pressure. It's the only position that works. Thanks for your concern thoughWink
Yes, I said lol because she's here with me ranting but in a sweary way and we are laughing in disbelief at how unbelievably thoughtless partners can be at times.

Sounds totes hilare. Hmm

Jaxtellerswife · 16/09/2018 23:06

Glitterfarts it's definitely over, she's long gone.

(Love the Hoare suggestion though)

@ButchyRestingFace sometimes laughing with a friend makes people feel better
