A person on Reddit says his wife is furious after he shared the news of her pregnancy together with his own mother without asking her if it was OK first.
Content warning: Mention of pregnancy loss
“Just a few days ago my wife and I discovered that she’s pregnant. We had been trying for a couple of 12 months after she had experienced a miscarriage of a pregnancy that we hadn’t planned. We’re each obviously super completely satisfied and excited to grow to be parents,” he wrote.
“So yesterday I went out to lunch with my mom and I told her the news, to which she was thrilled for my wife and I. I didn’t think anything of it until I told my wife that I told my mom and he or she was immediately upset with me,” the person continued on Reddit.
His wife told him that she wasn’t ready for people to find out about her latest pregnancy yet following her miscarriage.

“She said that now because my mom knows that she is pregnant, she’s now going to know if something goes unsuitable, and he or she’s not comfortable with that. Once I asked her why that’s such a giant deal all she could say was ‘it just is’ and that I would not understand,” the person shared.
“In my defense, it isn’t just her news to share, it’s OURS and I feel prefer it was completely reasonable to inform my mom as she is a direct member of the family who I’m very close with. I also know for a fact she already told her sister so I just don’t see how telling my mom is an issue,” he explained.
The person added that his wife never actually told him not to inform anyone concerning the pregnancy.
“A day later and he or she’s still very much so mad at me, I get the silent treatment and he or she avoids me like I’m the one who did something bad. Again, I actually don’t think I did anything unsuitable here. While I understand that it’s her body I feel it’s unfair that she will tell her support system but I’m not allowed to inform mine,” he concluded.

Users within the comments roasted the person.
“First… wishing you a healthy full term pregnancy, and I’m very sorry to your earlier loss. But while it’s your shared news, you will not be the one who’s currently watching their body like a hawk for signs of anything amiss. You are not the one whose body is now liable for this latest little life and you are not the one whose hormones shall be swinging wildly,” one person wrote.
“It’s shared news. A.K.A. you tell your mom together, and at minimum you check with her before you tell anyone. And yeah… her selecting who she tells until it feels secure is COMPLETELY fair. And in case you’re arguing about this please take the time to get on the identical page asap ’cause babies = relationship stress,” one other chimed in.
“This shall be the moment that she’ll look back on in the event that they have one other child. She may not let you know straight away next time. Because you’ll be able to’t be trusted,” another person commented.
