Hey fellow Redditors, I (45m) find myself in a bit of a conundrum and need your take on a situation with my pregnant wife (29f). We embarked on the IVF journey a few years ago and found out we were expecting twin girls.
Months ago, we had already settled on what we thought were adorable names: Jameson Katherine and Michelle Emily, with the super cute nicknames Jay and Elle. I thought we had nailed it! However, there's a little 'joke' that I've kept to myself- if you include their middles they have the nickname potential of Jay Kay and Elle Em (JKLM). I had seen this as something to make the naming process a bit more fun and to make the twins feel connected without being overly matchy.
But, as it turns out, my wife didn't quite see the humor in it. She noticed it and brought it up to me today. I told her it was intentional, and she absolutely blew up on me, accusing me of not taking our roles as soon-to-be parents seriously. According to her, I'm making light of an important decision and not respecting the gravity of the situation.
So, am I the asshole here, or is my wife just channeling her inner drama queen? I mean, it's not like I named the kids after my favorite sports team or suggested 'Jenny Talia'.
