> but she didn't know the actual names on the list until she found out she was pregnant. i call b.s. ​ > he dude's wife has literally only 6 names she didn't want picked and she happened to pick the most important one?? what are the chances? here is what i think. here on aita, there are stories every day where a new wife requires performative actions that disrespect and supplant the memory of an old wife. "show that you don't love her anymore by destroying any memento she may have left behind" actions. Whether it is ripping out old photo albums or stealing inherrited trinkets or the likes. this story here sounds like an echo of these.
