Wife Doesn't Know What To Do When Her Husband Wants A Divorce Without Knowing That She's Pregnant

Leona Martinez

After getting pregnant, this Redditor (OP) had a hasty shotgun wedding with her husband. After that, she quit her job to take care of their daughter while her husband worked longer hours. Her husband wants a big family (father, mother, two children, and one dog); however, they can't have more children because she gets cancer.

The OP got pregnant many times but usually ended with a miscarriage. Because of this, her husband suggested not sharing pregnancy news until the third or fourth month.

Recently, her husband told her that he wanted a divorce. However, the thing is, the OP is pregnant, and she doesn't know what to do or whether she should tell her wife about it.

So she came to the r/relationship_advice subreddit to ask the online community for their opinions.
