Pregnant Woman Storms Off at a Gender-Reveal Party After Her Husband Insults Her in Front of Many Relatives
The husband is being emotionally abusive to his wife.
When a woman is pregnant, her emotions can go haywire. She may not be her usual self, which is why she needs extra consideration.
However, if someone insults a pregnant woman and she becomes furious, you cannot blame her for her roller coaster of emotions. Insults, no matter how they are delivered, will upset anyone, whether they are carrying a human being within them or not.
A user named Lillington579 shared her predicament with her husband on the popular "Am I The A**hole?" subreddit. The woman, who is pregnant with her first child, had a significant fight with her husband after the gender-reveal party hosted by her in-laws.
At that party, she did not expect that many relatives would attend. She felt quite overwhelmed because she does not enjoy being around that many people.
To add insult to injury, her husband made a tasteless "joke toast" that embarrassed her in front of numerous guests. Naturally, the original poster was appalled by her husband's statement and the reaction of the people toward the joke.
She was shocked as her husband continued laughing with the relatives. At that moment, she was filled with rage and anxiety.
The aftermath of the event took a toll on their marriage. Since the woman was uncertain about her actions, she turned to Reddit to determine if she was wrong for walking out due to embarrassment.
After the embarrassment she experienced, a woman walked out of her gender-reveal party.

We hope this woman can manage to leave if she indeed needs to, because it won't be easy if she's pregnant.

If she stays in the marriage, this won't be the first time she'll experience such humiliation.

The husband also needs to undergo therapy so that he'll realize how emotionally abusive he is.
NotKatieKatester
Comments like "you're too insecure" or "you're too sensitive" are the start of gaslighting and emotional manipulation.
If the woman wants to solve this problem, she needs to make her husband realize his actions. If she thinks that it's not worth it and he remains abusive and disrespectful, then maybe it's time to walk away from the marriage.
It will only lead to an unhealthy and toxic relationship in the long run. Ultimately, it's up to the couple to decide the direction of their relationship.
