I said absolutely not. It’s a huge, life-changing decision for our marriage and family. Nick has called me a “monster” and “cruel” because I can’t have kids, so this might be his only chance to be a father. He had already promised Emma he would be there during the birth, and he had listed her as her emergency contact.
When I begged him to think about what this meant for us, he accused me of being angry, insisting that Emma needed him because she was afraid and alone. Then, a few days later, Emma secretly sent me a sobbing voice message, making me feel guilty: If I “really cared about Bank,” I would let him have this baby. She even threatened to spread rumors about Nick being the father and reject the baby if I didn’t agree. I told her not to contact me again, and I warned Nick that if he signed the birth certificate, our marriage would be over. Now he says I’m giving him an ultimatum and painting him as the villain because he “wants to be there for a helpless child.”
I don’t resent motherhood. I resent being erased and treated as a placeholder while he becomes a father to someone else’s child. And I’m supposed to be okay with that.
Am I losing my mind or is this direct manipulation? Maybe I’m overreacting to the whole situation?
