Wife complains husband takes his ex-girlfriend name with having sex with her!
In a weird case that came into limelight after a wife complains about his husband that he used to take his ex-girlfriend name while having sex with her and even use to take her name when he was sleeping at night.
My husband has been taking the name of his ex-girlfriend in his sleep. He also did that during sex, and I was offended. Of late, he has also become very secretive with his phone. When I mentioned this to him, he laughed about it and asked me to deal with my insecurities.
I hate playing detective, and I don’t want to sound paranoid, but I have seen his call history, and he has called a particular number at the oddest hours of the night. It is stored under random alphabets in his contacts.
On calling that number from my phone, no one answered. I suspect it might be a hotline between him and his ex. He keeps his phone close to his chest and has also changed his password after I mentioned the call history.
He is angry and aloof now, and keeps asking me to see a shrink. I think I’m being played for a fool. What should I do?
Fragments of our past usually haunt us either consciously or unconsciously. Memories, patterns and people from our yesteryears give us a sense of continuity in the way we act and see ourselves.
Our past shapes our present and yet it does not need to control our lives if we are to make the best decisions based in fact and here-and-now circumstances.
It came into knowledge that her husband has a past and it’s a past that was once his present and that meant a great deal to him. That past involves an ex-girlfriend with whom he once shared a close and intimate emotional and presumably sexual relationship.
Husband accidentally took ex-girlfriend name during physical relation with wife!:
You will need to appreciate the fact that the version of your husband that you’re currently with is an iteration of the man he once was with that woman. People don’t usually change their core personality.
They adapt to new situations based on new information, optimal solutions and their changing goals for themselves. What goals most define her husband in his life currently? This is important for you to find out so you know what he wants from his life and from the relationship you will share.
If he hesitates to be honest with you, little will get accomplished by way of transparent communication. Negotiation helps relationships evolve. A deeper understanding between partners can only stem from honesty, integrity, empathy and a will to grow.
We can’t always control how our partners see us but, we can control how we interface with them to influence how we are received by them. Perhaps your husband is convinced that you are unlikely to like ‘what you’ll hear’ from him if there is-in fact-another woman in his life. People stray from their partners when they feel like their needs are no longer being met.
These could be emotional needs, sexual needs, social needs and sometimes even a need for a jolly good time. Are there any needs of his that are not being met currently? I think you should write a letter to your husband stating your fears and honest wishes for their relationship.
Try keeping the tone of this letter as neutral as possible. It’s important for him to appreciate your point of view without you having to say it out to him which may come off as being ‘naggy’ or ‘paranoid’.
The written medium is a powerful tool. You will also need to see a personal counsellor with an open mind so more about your history with your husband and with other significant individuals can be studied so that a bespoke solution can be worked out for the best way to proceed with this situation.
This will help you eventually discover if you’re truly being played for a fool or if there is scope for some change in both of you will due to the mutual-lack of trust in the relationship.

Meghalaya Reserves Legalized Gambling and Sports Betting for Tourists
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
