Tattoo of XH name

79 replies

Over40andNotalotofpatienceleft · 08/12/2024 21:08

I have my XH name on the back of my neck, it’s just under my hairline. I was married for twenty yrs, and we have 3 beautiful children. It doesn’t bother me, I don’t think about it and I can’t see it but new DP of 3.5 yrs wants it gone. He doesn’t want to see it, and it makes him unhappy.
So. Am I unreasonable because I think he’s being ridiculous or am I unreasonable for not getting rid of it to please him?

Your body, your call, but I'd not want a partner with their ex's name on them.It's not only that you've still got the ex, you don't have the present. I would never tatoo but I heard someone saying they have their kids but not their wife, his kids will be his kids forever, don't know about wife...

Wtf are you on about?

if he doesn't like it that much he can pay for it to be removed
or he can just accept your decisions about your body

I agree

And me, especially a neck tattoo.

(but then again, I wouldn't consider going out with someone with a tattoo in the first place.)

I think it is quite reasonable to not want to be reminded of your ex husband whenever you are intimate.I think you should have removed it/covered it when you ended your relationship, but certainly when you began another significant one
