Help with a ridiculous situation? (long, sorry)

[Grumpy's Gal]

if this doesn't get the OP a visit from the tag fairy........don't know what will......

I say: Tell the Truth. The truth may hurt, but it will only hurt for a little while. A lie or two can hurt deeper and forever. Tell the truth.

 

[dis ms.]

My DH's coworkers would be worried about me giving birth in prison, because I would KILL my DH if he pulled some crap like that.

This whole thing is just wrong on so many levels. And OP, you may not have started this insanity, but you chose to go along with it, so you also share some of the blame.


Oh what a tangled web we weave when we lie about babies we didn't conceive.

This is huge! Nothing small about it. You are in the thick of it now. I wouldn't leave it up to your H to get you out of it. He's gotten you both in pretty deep. At least remove yourself from it. Good luck!

Not to sound rude at all, but does your dh have a history of cheating? I don't know him so I can't judge him, but if it was me. One of my first thoughts would be that he told somebody he was having a baby with a gf and somehow it got around that you were pregnant. So instead of telling you somebody else is pregnant he made up this story.

And one more thing, I would be a wee bit concerned with the fact that your DH is being vague about what exactly was said and who said it. I certainly would not be lying for someone who wasn't completely honest with me about how this all happened.

You know, I told DH about this, and then got to thinking - What if the OP's hubby lied about his wife being pregnant to cover up for needing some time off - coming in late, leaving early - that sort of thing. And now he needs his wife to go along with it, but he can't tell HER what started the lie cuz she doesn't know about the time off........

Yikes! My mind's working overtime on this one!

Something is definately fishy. I really feel for the op. I hope for her sake she is getting the whole story. It just doesn't make sense. My dh would definately have that problem fixed as soon as he heard the rumors. I would start checking cell phone and credit card bills. I would also check check stubs to make sure 40 hours are worked.

I was wondering the same thing. I read through some old posts because I was wondering if this was a troll or some sort of joke. I noticed that the OP has to call her DH when she gets to work & before she comes home. Almost sounds like he's afraid she'll show up early & walk in on him & someone else.

Something is definately not right!

[Personally I was thinking it sounded like some strange "3's Company" episode or something. ]

Oh my that was too funny I was thinking the same thing. OH I miss Three's Company

Okay, does anyone remember the Lori Hacking case from last year?

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5652742/from/RL.5/

This whole story makes my hair stand on end. The OP's DH sounds like a pathological liar...or worse. Normal people do not make up stories like this.

That's the first thing that came to mind when I read the op... either way lying to that extend and for no apparent reason is very disturbing...

This has got to be the most messed up, bizarre thread I've read on here in a long time - and that's really saying something!

I instantly thought the same thing before reading your replies. Especially adding in the fact that the "math" is way off for the due date. I have a bad feeling there is someone pregnant, just not the right person.

 

[inaminute]

This is a test run of a new soap opera plot, isn't it? You posted this just to see if the general public would "buy" the story, right?

This can't possibly be a real life situation. Who, in their right mind, would go along with a lie like that? Who, in their right mind, would allow their husband to put them in that kind of situation? Who, in their right mind, would agree to pretend they were pregnant and then pretend to have a miscarriage?

BTW, how are you planning to react about the miscarriage? A miscarriage is something you don't just "get over" you know. It takes a long time--I don't know how long as I still grieve for the baby I lost over 26 years ago. I'd love to know how you're going to fake that kind of loss over the long term.

This is just plain sick. You both need some serious therapy.

 

[RobinMarie]

This is some serious drama. I wonder if the OP's hubby does this DramaQueen stuff often.

 

[kdibattista]

Either someone else started this misinformation and it spread without input from DH, or someone innocently asked if I was pregnant and he said yes, just to be "funny."

What did your husband say? You don't seem to have the whole story and I find that very odd that you didn't find out how this "started".

DH wasn't worried, he figured no one would say anything.

Seriously?

He would not budge, and has no worries about the fact that there will not be a baby in "late April or early May."

Hmmmm...

Either we're going to have to fake a really tragic event or who knows what

I'm speechless

I don't really want to expose my husband as a liar

That would be the least of my worries

Just when I thought nothing on these boards could shock me anymore......bam....I open up this thread and

 

[pattyT]

Well all I can think of is all those HORRIFIC situations where the women astart with a little bitty white lie about being prego -
and it results in them killing a nine month prego woman and stealing the baby

I for one Hope that the two of you are NEVER really blessed with a pregnancy.
