Husband named his nephew the name we picked for our soon to be born baby.

I am very furious right now and need to vent.

We are expecting soon and my husband named his newly born nephew the name we picked for our baby.

He has always put his own side of the family's happiness and comfort over my needs and wants. I have forgiven everything else, and had decided to move forward for the sake of our coming baby and well our marriage, and he had also changed some behaviours, but then goes behind my back and does this.

He went to his brother's house to meet the baby and give his well wishes, I stayed back since I don't get along with his brother, because he had always been rude to me and cursed my father.

Then when he came home he was all happy and smiley and I got curious and asked him what's up, in return he told me that they were all discussing baby boy names for his nephew and he recommended the name we had in mind and his brother's wife liked it and they all approved, and now the baby is named by my husband's choice.

He was so happy and told me that now his nephew is also like our son cus WE picked his name. I am so angry right now, I don't want to see him or talk to him.

He has not necessarily been kind to me, and he has allowed his family to insult me several times, I really just swept everything under the carpet and was looking forward to the future and our life with my baby.

We have moved on and everything seemed good and then he does this, and I'm beyond angry.

Is my anger valid, what should I do, I just don't even wanna talk to him, I keep crying.

This tale from u/Jell0Bell0 tells me that there is some communication issues that have led up to this point. I think it’s vital to communicate even on the small stuff so resentment doesn’t build up and lead to a serious blowout like this. Did he actually not like the baby name and this was his way of telling her? Did he not know how to contribute to his family’s discussion and this was the only way he knew? I don’t know that. It seems like this is a pattern and OP should have some serious talks whether she wants to have a life with these behaviors for her and her kids. What’s your take?
