Mary and John were on cloud nine, eagerly awaiting the newest addition to their family. But things went awry when John laughed at Mary’s treasured name for the little one. Find out more as we unravel this story.
One day, while lying in bed together, the wife suddenly got up and brought out a gift box with ribbons and bows. The man assumed it was his present, but inside was a blue onesie with the name “Bartholomew” stitched on it.
John laughed at the name, and when the wife saw his reaction, she became quiet and started to cry. Finally, he tried to reason with her, suggesting that the name was outdated and that she should consider choosing a more modern name.
Mary was offended and accused John of judging their son before he was even born. Finally, she stormed out of the room and went to stay with her mother. Later, Mary’s father called John to scold him for upsetting Mary, calling him immature and a joke.
John is shocked that his wife is serious about naming their son Bartholomew, and he cannot believe she would choose such an outdated name. However, he realizes that he may have hurt her feelings and caused a rift between them, and he feels regretful.
While he had agreed that he’d let Mary name the baby since she was the one giving birth, he still didn’t want his child to bear that as a name.
He felt naming their child would be special for her, so he trusted she’d call their son something at least “normal,” but he’s not sure anymore. Here is how the internet responded.
Someone thinks that since John already promised her that she would get to pick the name, it would be unfair to go back on that promise now, two weeks from her due date.
