Her Husband Freaked Out When She Told Him About Her Pregnancy, And She’s Confused Since They Were Planning This Baby For Months
Prior to a recent occurrence, this 30-year-old woman thought that she and her 30-year-old husband had a wonderful marriage.
Her husband actually started out as a close childhood friend of hers, and then, as they grew up, their romance blossomed.
Since they always started out as friends, on occasion, they can feel like besties more than spouses.
So far, she and her husband have never had any enormous issues in the time that they have spent together.
They have excellent communication skills, and they do things alone sometimes, so they get some space from one another, which she finds to be balanced and healthy.
“We decided to try for a baby 4 months ago and confirmed our decision after a lot of talks and financial planning,” she explained.
“He went away on a promotion business trip, and I found out I was pregnant, and I was so excited. I texted him, and he did not respond, but he did fly home the same day. He came inside the house and did not say a word.”
“It was really uncomfortable and strange, but I left the situation alone and figured he was in shock. The next day comes, and I decide to gently bring it up and ask him how he was feeling about the news, and he goes off on me, which is a first.”
Her husband blamed her for being cold to him and copping some kind of an attitude, which only left her even more confused.

As this was all going down, she told her husband that she was truly sorry if he felt as if she said something problematic to him.
She thought that changing the conversation’s tone might help calm him down, and she then explained to him that she was a bit unsettled herself about the pregnancy and was soaking in the news.
Instead of sympathizing with her, what she said only furthered served to infuriate her husband.
Her husband said something about no longer wanting to be with her before walking right out the door.
He has not returned home since his blowup, and she is absolutely shocked. Her husband has never acted like this before, and she’s trying to figure out why he’s being like this.
“I am thinking maybe it is nerves or anxiety hitting him, but he has never reacted this way, so I feel like it will be hard to move past this because I thought we were more open and honest with each other about everything,” she said.
Her husband was also the one who really pushed her to start a family, as she was happy and content without adding children to their lives.
She’s left wondering if there is any way to save her marriage after her husband’s strange reaction to the news that they’re going to be parents.
