LuckyR Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Help! My boyfriend is getting a new tattoo today of his grandmothers name who I adore. The only problem is she has the same name as his ex who I’ve had issues with in the past.. am I wrong for telling him no? Should I be more accepting? Link to comment

You're wrong for thinking you have the right to tell an adult man what to do. Why do you feel insecure about this ex of his? Link to comment
lostandhurt Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You should see this as a blessing. The best way to ensure a relationship will end is to tattoo your gf/bf's name on your body!!! It is his grandmothers name and she is the reason he is doing it right? Then relax and let it go or break up with him. One or the other Lost Link to comment

Should I be more accepting? This is stage 5 clinger behavior! I hope you use good judgment but if you decide to say something anyway, don't be surprised if he leaves a man shaped hole in the wall as he runs screaming from the room. Link to comment
SGH Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I would also have a problem with my boyfriend getting the name of his ex tattooed onto his body. I mean, getting anyone's name tattooed on your body is pretty stupid in my opinion. The grandmother story seems sort of unlikely to me. Were they really close? I guess I'm not a huge fan of tattoos in general, though. They are 95% tacky from what I can tell, and hardly stand the test of time. Anyways, you can't tell a grown man what he can do with his body. You can express a firm opinion and be honest about why it bothers you, but at the end of the day, it's still his choice. Live with it or break up with him. Link to comment
j.man Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'd likewise find it tacky, but if I were to ever tattoo a woman's name onto my body, it would be my grandmother much, much sooner than any of my exes, even those I remember fondly. I don't care if it's a tattoo, piercing, haircut, spray tan, or socks with sandals. I'd never police or so much as express a firm opinion against how my partner harmlessly chooses to present herself, and most certainly not when it involves her grandparent's name. Link to comment
Clio Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 He wants his grandmother's name tattooed NOT his ex's. Imo, you are being unreasonable. His body, his choice. Making him cater your insecurities like that is a sure way to push him away. And in any case, if his ex is actually an issue, then the tattoo is the least of your worries. Link to comment
MissCanuck Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You’re officially being ridiculous, OP. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You sound super insecure. Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 How long have you been dating? Why did you have issues with his last gf? Both are concepts are kind of creepy. You can't tell him what to do. Just break up. My boyfriend is getting a new tattoo today of his grandmothers name. is she has the same name as his ex Link to comment
melancholy123 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Get over yourself! It's his grandmother for #$%&*( sake. If you make a fuss over this you'll push him away. I too dont like tattoos but a grown man is free to get one if he wants to. Link to comment
rflor Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think you are over reacting. You adore his grandma, this is the reason he’s getting that name tattooed. Did he say by the way it’s my ex’s name too? Or did you just automatically remember that and think of this in your head? He says it’s for his grandma...that’s why he’s getting it. No other reason. You adore the grandma...then you should be fine with it. No reason to be upset Link to comment
