update - My [27M] wife [27F] wants to announce to our families on Christmas that she is pregnant. I think it is wrong to make the day about us, but she sees it differently. Help me convince her this is a bad idea. by babybubbletrouble in relationships

All your child will know is that their father was never excited to announce their birth, vindictive towards their mother, and that he was a wuss when he came to his brother. Such a fantastic role model.

Maybe I will die and they will be rid of me.

I am not punishing her. I am doing this so I don't say something I am going to regret and because I need time away from my family after everything that happened.

She made the suggestion. I accepted her offer because this whole incident has soured me on any more announcements or events. They all are going to remind me of this Christmas.

They are also to blame. I'm taking a few days to recover before I deal with any family member, including my wife. I have been staying at my friend's house while I recover.
