This Woman Wants A Divorce After Her Husband Secretly Changed Their Newborn's Birth Name Behind Her Back

Hey folks! Today, we've got a wild relationship story for you about a woman who caught her husband secretly changing their newborn's name on his birth certificate — to his female boss's name.

Here's the full story from himpazzi: "I (31, female) and my husband (35, male) just had our first child 2 weeks ago. I thought we decided on the name the day of his birth, but apparently, my dumbass husband changed his mind."

"The name we were going for originally is also the name of my veteran grandfather, who passed away a couple of years back."

"Yesterday morning, the birth certificate came in the mail. I found out my husband didn't actually register the name we had both discussed and agreed on. The name registered on the birth certificate is the last name of his boss, who also is a woman. I initially tried gaslighting myself that the wrong one was shipped, but the package had both our full names and phone numbers written on the front sticker, so the evidence that this was not an accident was already close to solid."

"Yesterday evening, when my husband came home from work, I asked him what he named our child in a passive-aggressive way, and he responded with the original name we decided on. I then asked why it said 'The Name' on the package, and he said he didn't know."

"I called the hospital, and there he was, for sure, the one who registered it. I finally got him to admit it, but he didn't give a good reason as to why he decided to name our child after his boss, who was accused of fraud in the company, instead of the name that was supposed to honor my grandfather. After 5 years of being together, I no longer trust him, and I am planning to file a divorce in the next few months."

"My younger sister (26, female) thinks it's not a big deal and I should let go. Also, she compared it to when I named my hamster after something funny when I was 21, and she texted me and said, 'Just like that hamster, that baby won't care, so get over yourself.'"

"I don't know if I should be taking this as seriously as I am now. I am starting to think there is a possible affair going on, but maybe I am overreacting, and he just really likes the name."

"After I posted the story on my Instagram story, a friend told me that I should make an account on here and ask for opinions."

Commenters absolutely agreed that the husband was shady and (likely) having an affair because what kind of guy would do this!?

"He's definitely shady cause what invested husband discusses and agrees on one name and then uses another when OP was possibly in too much pain or too doped up to realize," user perpetuallyxhausted wrote.

"The fact that it's the name of another woman in his life makes it even worse."

User IllustratorSlow1614 supported the decision to divorce him 100%.

"It doesn't really matter if there is or was an affair. He betrayed you by lying about your baby's name; that massive lie would have been enough for me to want to divorce. If you hadn't seen the birth certificate for yourself, you would have had no idea he went back on the decision you made for your son's name. Functionally, you would have been calling your child the name you chose, but his legal name would be totally different." 

Another user agreed, claiming that the husband could no longer be trusted.

"It's really sad that when you're recovering from childbirth in the hospital, your husband was down the hall ruining your name for the baby you both agreed on and deliberately changed it to something else. Then he lied and said he didn't, and then the name he chose! He can't be trusted, and this birth certificate needs to be changed immediately," user Rare-Craft-920 wrote.
