[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. It's all DH's fault, so take it up with him. You should tell your MIL that you know now, though.[/quote]

I did take it up with DH... how should I tell MIL that I know?[/quote]

DH muffed it up, let HIM tell HIS mother what the fallout was. Why in the hell did he blab to her after you two made an agreement about telling everyone together?[/quote]

It wasn't because he was excited and spilled the beans... it was something worse than that, but I'm not going to describe it here because it's just more trollbait.  [/quote]

But then we aren't hearing the whole story, OP.
Because there has to be more to it than what you're describing.[/quote]

I told you already about the fertility issues, it's along those lines.

But in the end, we communicated in a very healthy way about trying to reconcile our competing needs in terms of telling people about the baby, we figured out ways to compromise (I let him tell lots of people), there really shouldn't have been any reason to lie to me.  There's really only so much you can do unless you're willing to just cede to someone else's needs - and if he had been forthright with me about how deep of a need it was, then I would have handled the situation differently.  He seemed ok with the agreement, and I think I had a right to expect him to keep that promise.

I am going to therapy.  I'm pretty depressed about my relationship with MIL among other things.  Perhaps this piece of it is affecting me more than I realize.  I guess in hindsight I did hope that this group would be more supportive but I appreciate the feedback.  [/quote]
