NMR: Kind of freaked out.
I just found out that my ex husband had a baby. The name of his baby is the exact first name and middle name if we were to have a baby. Out of all the names in the world why would he pick the same first and middle names we would have chosen? Is that weird or is it me?
Re: NMR: Kind of freaked out.
I have not spoken or seen him in maybe 8 years. He wanted to be friends with me 6 months after our divorce but I would not go for it because he cheated on me.
Do you all still communicate or travel in the same social circles? If not, unless the name now bothers you, I'd still give a future child that name.
Is it possible he forgot that was your favorite name? I could see a situation where, when naming came up, he had a subconscious attachment to that name from you mentioning it years before, but didn't remember that was specifically where it came from.
Just guessing here. But it's strange all around.
On forgetting...
When I was single, I was on Yahoo Personals (in fact, that was where I met my H). But, before H, I went on one date with someone I'll call Robert. At one point on the date, Robert told me I would look better with short hair and that I should cut it. BTW, I have almost waist length long hair that I have been regularly complimented on my whole life, and its gorgeous (if I do say so myself). Needless to say, for that and other reasons, there was only one date! I mean, what kind of guy insults a girl's hairstyle on the first date?
About 6 months later, I was on a different online dating website, Robert contacts me again (via chat) as if we have never met. I tell him we have actually already gone on one date and remind him of where we went. He remembered and apologized profusely he hadn't immediately recognized me. And then he says, as an explanation as to why he didn't place me, "I could have sworn you had shorter hair." LMAO.
When we were together the first name his baby has was his idea but the middle name was mine. They are both popular names but it's still a little freaky. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, he's trying to mess with me or I was on his mind. Either way it is strange.
Six months after we divorced he wanted to be my friend. When we were splitting up he was shaking like a tree in a tropical storm and hugged me so hard I thought my guts were going to pop out.
