He Wants To Get Matching Tattoos With His Ex-Girlfriend And His Current Girlfriend Does Not Approve
An 18-year-old guy just graduated from high school, and earlier on in his senior year, he began dating a girl his own age.
Over the course of his relationship with her, they wound up pregnant, which was entirely accidental and not planned at all.
He and his girlfriend chose to keep their baby, which they later learned was a little girl. They selected a name for their daughter, but sadly, his girlfriend lost their baby.
Right after the loss of his daughter, he and his girlfriend broke up, though they have stayed friendly with one another and they do text back and forth to check in occasionally.
“Fast forward to about 3 months ago, I entered a relationship with my current girlfriend and I did let her know straight away what had happened in my last relationship, just so there weren’t any surprises or me hiding anything,” he explained.
“She was already on the offense, saying that I should just forget about it and let it be, that it “didn’t matter” anymore.”
Several weeks back, his ex-girlfriend texted him to ask if he would like to get a matching tattoo with her in honor of their daughter.
His ex suggested getting their daughter’s name together, and his ex thought it would be a great “last memory” for them both.
He and his ex won’t be going to college close to one another, and they’re sure they will no longer speak as much when college starts for them both.

He really did like the idea of getting his daughter’s name as a tattoo with his ex, though he decided to ask his current girlfriend if she would be alright with him doing this.
“I told my girlfriend about it and she was absolutely not having it whatsoever,” he said. “She told me that relationship was over and that I need to grow up and forget the past (mind you, we’re the same age).”
“She told me if I do it she will have no reason to be with me and that it’ll show what kind of person I am.”
He’s left feeling confused by his girlfriend’s reaction, as he did point out to her that he and his ex will be getting a tattoo that is simply the name of their daughter.
The tattoo isn’t about his ex, it’s about the daughter that they both lost, so he’s not sure what his girlfriend’s problem is.
He really isn’t sure where to go from here. Should he just get the tattoo anyway, even if his girlfriend despises the idea?
