"A woman disclosed the challenging circumstances she's in after her spouse called her by the name of his deceased wife on multiple occasions. She posted this awful incident on social media platform Reddit.asking for help and guidance because she had now found out she was pregnant.
The 25-year-old woman gave a short explanation of her challenging circumstances, saying that four years ago, she met her spouse at work and they liked each other at once.
She continued: "On our first date, he told me he was a widower, and his wife had suddenly passed away at the age of 31, two years earlier."
As their romance developed, the pair got married three years after first meeting. But two months after their marriage, the woman admitted, she began to observe a shift in her husband's attitude.
"He started becoming quieter," she clarified. When I asked him whether he was doing alright, he revealed that he had unintentionally thrown away something from their wedding night and discovered some of his late wife's possessions while cleaning.
I sympathised with him since I couldn't fathom what he was going through. Despite my best efforts to lift his spirits, his happiness was fleeting.
A short while later, the man mistakenly called his wife by the name of his ex-wife during a small quarrel about a movie they were watching. It was something he had never done before, she admitted.
He seems both surprised and afraid that he had said that. He kept apologising, and I comforted him. He sobbed, and I embraced him. He hadn't slept at all, I discovered the following morning.
"I asked him if he wanted to discuss the events of the night before. He told me he was going to visit his brother after becoming irate. I told him I loved him because I was worried. Around midnight, he returned home and expressed regret for his response and what had transpired. I assured him that all was well.
The woman dismissed the occurrence, citing the emotional upheaval caused by the discovery of some of his ex-wife's items. Yet it wasn't the final instance. "A few weeks ago, during sexual relations, he called me by her name again," she admitted. This time, embarrassed, I leaped from bed and kept my distance from him.
"He tried to comfort me by giving me a hug and continued saying sorry. I said I would take up residence in our guest room. That night, I slept very little at all. He apologised again the following morning, and I reassured him that everything would be alright.
After a brief conversation, I asked him how he was doing and whether he needed to speak with a professional. He promised to go talk to someone, but when our appointment was planned, he failed to show up.
Despite her attempts to resolve the issue, the woman stated that the relationship had not improved, and all communication had been brief and formal.
She continued, "Everything has been weird since he started calling me by my name during sex."
"He doesn't talk to me very much, and when he does, it's only to ask for something. I'm sad because I care about him, and I'm worried that he doesn't care about me anymore.
I recently found out that I am pregnant. I'm thrilled because I have always wanted to have a child, but I'm also sad because I don't know if he still loves me.
The post quickly went viral, with many people encouraging the woman to speak to her husband. "Don't let your distance grow too long," one person wrote, "I would be quick to tell him that he needs to sit with you and talk about how to deal with all of this.
Don't keep saying you're fine when you're not." Another person added, "I can't stress this enough: you're not fine, what he did isn't fine, and it affects you the way it should."
A third person added, "He's been thinking about it since he found the things that belong to her. It's understandable that he was in a state of shock when he found them. Coupled with the fact that he mistakenly threw away a wedding memento, it's no surprise he made a mistake."
A fourth person added, "Cut him some slack. "I'd suggest therapy. If he keeps doing this."
