Help with a ridiculous situation? (long, sorry)

[diznygirl]

Can you believe the OP being mad at the responses here? That's anger going in the wrong direction!!

Her "dear" husband should be on the couch until this gets resolved, and HE should be the one to be forced to seek counseling for being a "foolish, peer-pressure-susceptible goof."

This is just plain nutty!

My dad's pretty dumb about a lot of things, but he would NEVER lie about something at work. This could affect your husband's job standing if the boss found out he lied about nothing....and starts wondering what else he could lie about. That's a pretty big lie, and no reason to spread it for...unless he is very upset that you haven't been able to get pregnant and is taking his anger out this way possibly? Even still, that isn't acceptable in any enviornment, and you should have told him that before going along with it, or just said "false alarm" at the party.
Have fun getting out of this one.

. . is just seriously sick and messed up. I'm sorry. Ya'll need help.

I agree. Why on earth would anyone lie about a pregnancy? And why would you go along with it?

 

[RitaZ.]

Wow! Why would anyone come up with something like this?

 

[poohandwendy]

So, now suddenly instead of looking forward to this party, I am stressed and dreading it because I have to lie to all these strangers.

This was your first mistake. Why on earth would you believe for a second that you HAD to lie to anyone? And why did you do it? Instead of nipping this in the bud when it started, by insisting that your DH tell people "they must have misunderstood and that you are NOT pregnant", you went along with it and are in a real sticky situation. One that is sure to make you both look like dishonest fools, at the very least.

I would suggest some sort of counselling for you and your DH (what the heck is going on with him????). While it is heartbreaking and sad that you have had problems conceiving, this lie is an enormously wrong thing to continue.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more wrong it even seems.

Good luck to you, I have a feeling this is going to go really bad...in a big way.

I agree. A new employer not used to your husbands "off-kilter" sense of humor (trying to be nice here) will feel as if they were made fools of. Not a good impression to leave.

I would have told hubby in no uncertain terms to straighten it out before the party or (if questioned) *I* would answer: "Oh...I'm not pregnant. He must have gotten me confused with his girlfriend...".

 

[poohandwendy]

Btw, if anyone is doing the math, if you were 2 1/2 months pregnant...you would not be due in late April/beginning of May. You would be around 10 weeks pregnant and due in early July.

 

[poohandwendy]

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.

I missed that part. NO I can't believe it LOL, I am going to go back and reread this thread, this has got to be good!

 

[floridafam]

I don't even know what to say.

 

[Crankyshank]

Wow! What a seriously messed up situation on all counts.
I just don't get the big deal and need to carry on a lie with the co-workers. It's not like he's going to win some sort of monetary prize from work for being fertile. or is he?

 

[Sandcass]

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

To the O.P. You need to find out why your husband started this lie and why he expected you to follow along with it. It's just too bizarre. Good luck!

 

[DisneyPhD]

What a bad situation. We don't know the whole story of your marraige and situation so our advice is very one sided. Please keep that in mind.

Has your DH ever done anything like this before? A serious conversation with him is needed as soon as possible.

Get out of the lie now. Come clean as soon as you can, even if he won't. If he continues with this, it is a sign there is much more problems then this situation.

Goodl luck. I am sorry about your situation with not being able to become pregnant yet.

Good luck and pixie dust.

I went back and re-read each post from the OP. Her husband has said that she is "too far along and has had morning sickness." How much time is he devoting to maintain this horrible lie? It's simply twisted, I hope this story is a really bad joke.

 

[poohandwendy]

yeah, I am kinda hoping that is the case too rita...just a horrible joke (although it is not April 1st.

 

[MoniqueU]

I went back and reread it and I don't even want to say what comes to mind but it gave me the creeps. I hope we don't hear about them on the news in 6 and half months.

This is weird. This same sort of thing happened on an episode of Melrose Place. I used to love that show.....

Sounds so bizarre it would be a good segment for Desperate Housewives.
