  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Am I in the wrong?

Hey guys, I need to clear something up.

The name is a combo of my last name and my ex's last name. My (current) boyfriend is the one that wants me to change the name. He says that every time he sees the name it is like my ex coming into our house uninvited.

In other words, I can't really tell my (current) boyfriend to go eff himself.

ok.

So just change the company to a name that doesn't combine any names.

Which if you had asked me, I would have told you is trashy and not to do it.

Keep your personality and identity out of the branding.

And tell your current bf to chill.

LOL. I was excited. This is more than just a company. This is my life's work. Everything I have done in my life has led to this. I know it sounds corny, but it's true.
 
I get it.

Just good advice. You don't need to come up with corny name contractions for a company name. Call it something like Lotus Developments...or something like that.

Your rent slaves don't fucking care and you appear needy and low rent in their eyes when you ,make it all about you.

Step it up.
 
I misunderstood originally which guy wanted you to change the company name but I still think you should keep the name of the company as it is, especially since you like it. I can understand why your current BF is bothered by it since it's a reminder of your previous relationship, but he has to trust you in that you realize that your ex is your ex, and that the company name has nothing to do with any residual feeling toward the ex.

Give him a good :bj: to help him get over his insecurities. ;)
 
I mean, he's right, you know.
 
Dominus, I get that you really like the current name. But leave that aside.
In particular, don't tell the boyfriend that you want to keep the name because you like it, because that will be like an invitation to him for a tug-of-war.
("If you really loved me, you'd sacrifice some silly name that you're fond of. You must love the name more than you love me!")

Just keep repeating over and over again that the name of the business is too established, changing it will be a big, expensive headache, and that "If I were still attached to the ex, I'd be with him. I'm not. I'm with you. So this isn't about the ex; nothing is about the ex."

If, after a week of repeating that keeping the business's name is a matter of expense and practicality, and that the ex is the ex and this isn't about him, your boyfriend still won't let this go, it will be fair to tell him that he is manufacturing drama.

Maybe, but I'm not a fan of hurling insults at someone who has come to ask a question in good faith.
(Yeah, I think rareboy's answer was coming close to being an insult.)

LOL

I'm the first person in my entire family to leave the employee lifestyle behind and started my own thing. Starting a company may be a normal part of life for someone like you. But it was a HUGE deal for me. Hence coming up with a special name for it.

I know that my tenants couldn't care less what my company name is. But I do. Again, it's a HUGE deal for me.

He says that me insisting on keeping that name, which is a marriage of my name and the ex's, is my expression of still being in love with my ex husband.

If you were just starting the company and named it using your ex's name - I would see his point.

But the company was there and named before you ever met him.

If he is that insecure and possessive - watch out.

Ego.

Next time then make it ALL about you.
 
Or don't. Better advice. Try to take a step back and not invest yourself so utterly emotionally in your business.

It isn't healthy. And slapping your name on a company smacks of incredible insecurity. Berkshire Hathaway exists totally apart from Warren Buffet.

You still seem obsessed with the trappings instead of the substance. Do you actually love what you do or is it just your idea of how to finally get rich enough to prove yourself to your family?

Stop worrying about what you or others drive or the things that you think validate you to your parents and siblings. Just do the work. For the enjoyment of it.
 
OK Gays, I have become convinced I need to change the name to something separate from myself as well as neutral. Please throw a few ideas my way.

AAA Property Holdings LLC. the AAA will get you first in line in advertising spots.
 
I see no problem in having a name that's connected with you, but it does look like it shouldn't be connected with anyone else as well.
Why not take your name, or part of your name, and anagram it?

That doesn't change much, but it makes more sense now. He still needs to get over it somehow. What if you had kids with another partner -- would the current guy not want you to see them? Everyone brings parts of old relationships into the new one. I still work for my ex!
