Ok, I know this is going to sound super ridiculous of me, but I have to get this off my chest.
My husband was married for a few years to a woman that was preggo from another relationship before he came along. He took on responsibilities of this child's dad and was a totally upstanding guy to her and her son. He even had their initials tattooed with this cross and heart/ribbon type thing on his upper arm/shoulder.
Now, I get that there was no way that he would have assumed that I would come into the picture years later or that him and her would divorce as soon as they did, or at all, but it bugs me to pieces when I see that thing on his arm while its wrapped around me while we're snuggling or with warmer weather, he's wearing cut off shirts.
He has told me soooo many times before that he wants it covered up/gone/etc. He and I have had two daughters together (one that passed away-which he wants a tat to dedicate in her name on his chest) and another living daughter that we had last year. And of course, my two from my previous marriage.
I know he hates it being there just as much as I do...but what do I do? We don't have enough money to get it covered up (they are talking about $200-300 to do something over it because of the size of his tat) or maybe a little cheaper to just have it filled in, since its just a black ink tat.
Should this bug me as much as it does? I get why he doesn't have our names engraved on his body-we're broke lol. But seeing that as often as I do, and now moreso since summer weather is here, Im kind of losing my mind. How do I cope?
