What do I do?š In laws coming to me behind my partners back..
So Iāve been really worried about announcing the fact Iām pregnant with our second baby to family and friends as I donāt feel Iād have via her positive reactions.. we had our first back in November and our second is due this October and I understand itās really soon and I shouldāve probably got contraception until the time was right but things happen.. Iām not the first to be in this situation and Iām sure I wonāt be the last, my partner was really excited and wanted to tell his family straight away and I said thatās fine, I just want to wait until Iām ready to tell my side of the family, so we told his dad and stepmum first, and obviously we had the reactions I was expecting like being told weāre stupid, and itās too soon, his stepmum lectured me about contraception but later followed up with a congratulations.. we told more of his family and some people congratulated us, others said we were mad, and one told me to close my legs.. A few weeks later his dad showed up to our without warning while my partner was in work and said āif you think itās the wrong decision you can always go and get an abortion behind his back and tell him you lost itā and I was just stunned.. like who is he to suggest I went down that route? Fair enough tell me he supports whatever decision I make but it was the fact he told me I could go behind his back and lie about it and whatever.. so Iām getting closer to my 20 weeks scan and my partners asking me when Iām going to break the news to my family and I said āwhen Iām readyā and heās questioning why Iām so scared of what people think etc and he got abit pissy about it, and I explained ābecause weāve already had bad reactions from your family, like you donāt know what your dads said to me about itā and I probably shouldnāt have turned around and said that but Iām just trying to explain Iām waiting until the times right and I feel comfortable confronting them due to being put off by othersā but obviously now heās asking what his dad has said to me.. I dunno what to do because we tell eachother everything, I never keep anything from him but, do I tell him what his dads said? But then again I donāt want to cause any arguments between him and his family, nor do I want to upset him? I donāt want him to feel betrayed by his dad but I feel like he has the right to know whatās been said behind his back? Im so stuck I feel awfulš
