Woman Hides Her Pregnancy from Childish Husband and Overbearing MIL, Refusing to Feel Like a Third Wheel in Her Own Marriage During Her Pregnancy

Healthy relationships take ongoing effort. There will always be more to improve upon and more to be worked on. However, a marriage can only last if both parties are willing to put in a lot of effort to maintain it.

The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) had started dating her husband when she was still in college. Aside from the occasional arguments with her mother-in-law, their marriage was nearly perfect. However, when OP and her partner learned they were expecting twins, everything changed. All of a sudden, the obnoxious mother-in-law inserted herself into the marriage and insisted on being treated as an equal partner. OP was upset by this abrupt shift, so the second time around, she chose to conceal her pregnancy from her mother-in-law and husband.

Now that she is six months along, OP is beginning to show, and she is not sure what to do. Has she kept the secret too long? Could she keep the pregnancy a secret a bit longer? All of these questions are raised in the story below. So if you want to find out what happens next, make sure to keep scrolling down!
