A woman is at odds with her husband over the name of their unborn child. Despite his family’s tradition of pre-naming, she wants to wait until she sees the baby before choosing a name. The woman’s husband has suggested several names, but she dislikes them all. When she suggests an important name to her, the husband’s mother insults it, causing a fight. The woman has since left and is considering not allowing her husband or his family in the delivery room. Is she unreasonable, or are her husband and his family too pushy? You decide.

Pregnant woman and husband fight over tradition vs emotional attachment
Choosing a name for your child can be a challenging task, especially when it comes to respecting family traditions versus emotional attachments. In this case, a pregnant woman struggles to agree with her husband’s choice of name, a tradition in his family. Furthermore, the husband is not open to other name suggestions, leading to a heated argument. The woman’s desire to name her child after her late sister only adds to the tension, as her husband’s family disapproves of the name. The situation escalates when the husband’s mother insults the woman’s name choice, and things go downhill. The woman is now staying with her older sister and refusing to speak to her husband, who apologizes for his behavior. The question remains: who is at fault in this situation?
