Hi guys.

So my partner recently got a cat-- me? I was reluctant to it (still am) because I'm allergic to cats. Well anyway. He asked for my input for renaming this pretty cat. I was reluctant to doing that because it's not my cat. Well we landed on one. All he said was that it was fitting because he kept almost calling the cat the name I chose. So that's cool.

I went over to his place the next day and he then told me the reason he almost kept calling the cat the name I chose and how fitting it was. It's his deceased ex-fiancee's cat's name. It didn't click until we were heading to dinner and I asked, "Did we just name the cat your ex's cat's name?" All he said was, "Yeah. Is that weird?" And I said, "Yes." And that was the last of it.

I'm unfamiliar in recognizing the emotions I feel at the time and I think I figured it out. I think I feel disrespected a bit. If it were me and my partner threw out a name that was somehow linked to my ex (deceased or not), I'd veto it. Wouldn't you? I'm confused on whether how I feel is correct or not.
