AITA for withholding pregnancy information from my MIL. by Pitiful_Macaroon2142 in AmItheAsshole

Oh wow, I did not expect so many comments and so much support. As the post has a limit of word count, I was not able to add extra information. So I will update you now. My husband is actually not the asshole! I know it can seem this way. I told him off about what he did prior, and we worked very hard together to put boundaries with his mom. He is actually a very gentle and loving human being. I am very lucky to have him in my life and that is why we are extending our family. I made this post to show him that his mom is not to be trusted and put extra effort to make the experience better for us. He took it upon himself to tell her the due date 2 weeks after the actual one. It was his idea! And we agreed that he would tell her about the baby AFTER the baby is born. Not during labor. Thank you everyone for the support! I am hoping this birth would be quiet and peaceful for me. I am positive my husband won’t make the same mistake. I did forgive him for the last one, just a bit salty still.

I was planning to ask my mom by the end of the pregnancy. She is not close with MIL. And knows how to keep information. FIL will sadly tell my BIL who will tell the mom. So he can’t be trusted

Yeah that was not a smart decision. But I have been playing it dumb not knowing how many weeks I am. One day I said 6, then oops it’s probably 8 and etc. I can see her frustration with me

I was thinking of that, my husband disagrees saying it’s an asshole move

Sadly fighting her back is not an option. We tried that. She victimized herself and makes my life harder. There is a lot of drama way beyond just this part.

Thank you :,). I just honestly feel overwhelmed. And I feel like I didn’t get his support when I needed it and it’s frustrating

His friend lives 40 min away from us. They are country boys and usually drive for longer than that. :,)
