Unreliable narrator?

By Shattered - 27/08/2025 05:00 - United States

Today, my wife's sister called with a confession. My wife never wanted children, but I did, but I thought she'd miscarried the first two, so we stopped trying. Her sister confessed that she'd actually aborted them and lied to me. We picked out names for them and she aborted them. FML

Now wait just a dadgum minute. Is it possible that the sister is lying and the wife is telling the truth? Does the sister have an axe to grind? Rule out the reasonable doubt before jumping to conclusions. If it turns out the sister is telling the truth, well, do with that what you will. But don’t jump to conclusions. The sister could be a lying bitch as well.

She lied to you in the worst way. She wasn’t upfront about not want kids before you were married and terminating pregnancies that you were obviously excited about, watching you go through the grief TWICE. I don’t usually advocate for divorce but there’s something psychologically wrong with her causing you pain like that.

Jesus Christ. Leave that psychopath at once.

I am so sorry. Divorce. Thank her sister. Grieve your children.

your wife dont owe you children; but she should have tell you the truth

This is the sort of FML that doesn't make you smile or laugh. Just to offer a hug

Why did you marry her knowing she never wanted kids? Thought you could change her mind? YDI for being delusional.

OP, think carefully - Is there a reason SIL might want to break you up from your wife? Not all sisters (or brothers) get along. ... Talk to your wife calmly about this, see if you can find out the truth - But that will take calm discussion not accusations. ... If one of you really, really wants children and the other really, really doesn't, that's not a flaw in either person - Its just a misalignment of life goals. Lying, on the other hand (if that's the case) is a big red flag.

I'll say you ended up with the wrong wife...

That bitch is why so many women, like rape victims, are losing their rights because abortion is becoming illegal. That is NOT okay. I am pro-choice, but not to this extent. She never told you she didn't want kids? That's a big red flag right there. But to say she lost them in a tragic way, a burden many women have to endure that scars them drastically? There's a special place in hell for her. This is definitely grounds for divorce.
