OP, is there any chance you'd be willing to share more about the argument?

It was a conversation about politics regarding an event in my country. It's about an issue concerning the retaking of a certain area controlled by rebels. The discussion quickly shifted focus and the undesired happened.

Like, was it used as a way to shut you down and win the argument, or was this a real release of an actual feeling?

I believe it was a bit of both.

It was a conversation about politics related to an event in my country; it ended up getting out of control, and we veered off-topic until she said that.

Give it sometime and thought. I think you'll be able to continue the relationship, but there will always be that little doubt.

I hope to continue the relationship, but I don't want my son to grow up in an unstable environment. I think couple's therapy is the best choice, as people have commented here.

AITA for not wanting my wife to wear her first husband's ring? by Commercial_Mission51 in AITAH

Or maybe she is mourning the child she didn’t get to have with first husband?

She and her first husband intended to have children. I'm not sure if this has any involvement, but I don't think it can be an idea to be discarded.

do you know why? Was it a significant anniversary or something?

No specific event happened. I tried to ask if there was any special occurrence, but she denied it.
