    Both my FI and I have been married before and he has ais usually friendly relationship with his ex. Has caused some insecurities with me.

    Anyway. Just noticed one of his favorite singers he listens to has a song and her name is the title.

    Now in his defense he downloads albums. Not individual songs. However, he can click to not play a song. He is a major fan of thiS guy & I have no doubt he knows this song and knows its here.

    How would you feel? What would you do?

    Honestly, it's just a song. Unless it was his song with this ex and they had lots of important memories to this song, then it's just another piece of music by one of his favorite artists.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even conciously realize he was listening to a song with her name in it.

    Whoa, you mean if his ex's name was Roxanne, he'd never be allowed to listen to this song 'Roxanne' again? That's umm very over bearing and unrealistic.

    I really don't think it's worth getting worried about at all.

    I wouldn't be even slightly worried.  Is there a reason why you have such huge insecurities regarding her?

    I can see this being a problem if I were in grade 4 or something, but I really don't know how to answer the question, "what would you do".

    UNLESS....he's blasting it on repeat and sobbing.  Then maybe, there's a problem.

    Yeahhh... sorry, unless that song had specific meaning for them as a couple, I'd have to say it's a bit over-the-top to be upset about. I agree with the PP who used the Roxanne song as an example.

    i say you need to find something else to worry about. this is way too petty and controlling. i'm sure there's a chance he may even meet someone with that name. or work with them. man, you don't own him or his ears. you have to let some things go.

    I want to hear from the 2 people who would be bothered by that. I don't understand how this is even an issue.

    It WOULD bother me... yeah, it has to do with being insecure in yourself and the relationship between your SO and his ex, but I don't think there's anything.. not normal about that.  Especially if your SO and his ex are on good terms, there will always be that little seed of doubt.  However, it wouldn't bother me to the point I'd tell him to stop listening to the song, or even bring it up.  It would just.. bother me.

    I can see your point but I doubt it means anything - it's just a song, it's not THEIR song, besides, it might be a very negative song about a person with that name

    ............................it's a just a song? if you're going to worry about that, have you checked that tv shows you like don't have main characters with exes' names, and the same with books or movies?

    not a big deal at all. i would do nothing. to be honest i probably wouldnt have even noticed as i dotn go through his music downloads and even if i did i wouldnt have picked up on this at all.

    I don't see any other explanation besides insecurity, in which case the problem is not him listening to a song.

    @Juliepants:  Totally feel you on this. Unless he's listening and sobbing or you know that it was their first dance song or the song he proposed to her with OR some other big momentous event AND he's always listening to it, then I guess there might be a problem. Honestly, he doesn't need to listen to a song to think about her. Please try to get to the root of why you are so insecure about your guy's ex.

    So, if his ex was named Lucy he couldn't listen to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?

    I think you need to deal with those insecurities about her. This isn't his problem at all.
