I want to write my life story, and one of my exes said he'd prefere me not mention him. Well, that is a HUGE part of my story, (considering I moved out of state to live with him), and if I leave that out, I might as well not even write it.

My question is- do I need peoples permission to publish a book with them in it? I don't mind changeing names, I plan on it. So does that make it freedom of speech?

I need real answers, not "you'll never publish your life story".
It's a true story. How can comeone not know it's them when it's....100% them? Lol. He's gonna know I didn't move to the same exact state for some other guy, and we did all the same exact things. It's so obvious, I shouldn't even have to say it's obvious. Lol.
 
I hate to say it, but with your spelling, what your last sentence said.

I guess, as long as you don't tell anything that is untrue, your EX would have no grounds for any issue.
