this is a community like r/AmITheAsshole except unlike that subreddit here you can post interpersonal conflicts, anything that's AITA but is not allowed there even posting about Scar from the lion king and trying to convince redditors that he was not the AH. rules: don't berate others and no pornography we have children here
Sorry for any mistakes in advance, I have been married to my husband for 13 years. We've been trying for so long to have a child but haven't been able to do it. We've tried many methods and nothing worked. The mental toll would be a lot for us so we'd take some time before we try again. A friend of mine suggested we try IVFs and I told my husband. He agreed to the suggestion but the cost kind of had him hesitating. IVF sessions are costly Yes, but me and my husband have enough savings to afford them. I spoke to him again about it and he said he wasn't sure we should take this route. He pointed out how one session isn't guaranteed and that we'd have to pay for more. Again, I mentioned how he and I can afford it with our money combined, he looked at me intently then told me that "logically", since I'm the cause of infertility then he thought that I should handle the cost of IVF sessions by myself. I was shocked I couldn't even muster a response to what he said. He said it to my face straight. I felt so hurt I exploded on him and he acted like I was being unreasonable, and then said he was not obligated to pay for "my own medical issues". I lost it and decided to pack my stuff and go stay with my mother. No response from him after that. Just a text stating "truth hurts" that he sent when I rejected his phonecall. I got blamed by family saying I'm overriding his feelings and that he had the right to open up about how he felt when I kept pushing him about the IVFs. Especially, considering his mental health state from being able to become a father which is a human right that he has. Yes I do take responsibility for my infertility but this was too much
did I overreact? Was I wrong for taking a stance against what he said and leaving?
Edit for clarification, I'm the one struggling with infertility due to other medical issues I have.
