Woman asks for advice after husband vomits following sister's pregnancy announcement.
'My husband started acting strangely upon my sister's pregnancy announcement.'
I feel like I'm going crazy here thinking about it. My husband and I were at my parents house for dinner. All was going well. We were talking, laughing and eating. But as soon as my sister got from her seat and announced her pregnancy.
I noticed at first that my husband got quiet, didn't get up to congratulate her since the rest of us did, and just kept staring at or towards her I'm not entirely sure.
I repeatedly asked if he was okay and he mumbled about feeling a bit sick. That was strange because he was perfectly fine that day. Literally, moments later he started throwing up. Like I had no idea what was happening with him. He sat on the bathroom floor near the toilet just looking down and refusing to let me help him up to wash his face. I kept asking him if he was okay but no response.
My family were worried about him and I had to take him home. I checked his temp and blood pressure but all were normal. Still complete silence on his part. He went to sleep shortly after, and in the early morning, at 5:30, I woke up to the sound of him crying in the shower. I rushed in asking if he was okay but still no response other than tell me he needed a minute with himself.
I almost lost it demanding he explain what was going on and he told me he was just feeling overwhelmed...from what?!?! He's not the type who gets stressed out from work or anything of the sort. This is just so strange and out of character of him. He got dressed and left then refused to even talk about it.
I can't help but feel like this reaction was trigged by my sister's pregnancy announcement since this is all started right after she made it. What makes me feel so horrible is the fact that my sister once implied that my husband was her type and hoped to get someone like him.

Talk to your sister.
Throwra53779 Op responded:
I'm planning to. Though she seemed completely normal with her announcement and what came afterwards. She even suggested I take him to the hospital and get him looked at.

when i found out my ex was cheating and confronted him, he denied it. i stupidly believed him, but the next few days he was VIOLENTLY ill and kept vomiting. i thought it was a flu, or food poisoning, but eventually he fessed up that he was cheating on me. lying literally made him sick, i guess lmao.
Throwra53779 OP responded:
You're the second commenter to tell me that vomiting has to do with lying or guilt. I don't know what to say. I'm thinking of taking my time to search his stuff to see if I could find anything.

Maybe he just got caught up imagining parenthood. Being responsible for another little human is overwhelming. This is an extreme reaction, is he typically nervous?
Throwra53779 OP responded:
We're pretty open when it comes to this topic. I don't see why he couldn't tell me about it.

My ex fiancé used to throw up when he was getting close to getting caught about cheating. Looking back the throw up or feeling like you’re going to throw up is definitely not a normal reaction. I didn’t think anything of it at the time because I didn’t think he was capable of cheating. I thought it was his medical conditions.
Throwra53779 OP responded:
My God. I wasn't sure because I thought he had eaten a lot at dinner but seeing your explanation made me anxious.
Synn0289 asks:
Question OP. Does.your sister have someone or is she single?
Throwra53779 OP responded:
She used to be single for 5 years. She has been with her current boyfriend for over a year. I gotta say that I did not expect them to get pregnant especially since they have issues that need to be worked out first as she said.

When I had food poisoning, my skin felt like glass and even laying down hurt. I was sobbing into my girlfriend’s arms while she fed me water on the toilet as it immediately passed through me. Food poisoning of a sufficient degree definitely makes you cry.

I’m afraid your next update will be your husband and sister are having an affair. It was only meant to be a fling for him, but now your sis is pregnant and he’s the father. He can’t hide the affair anymore.

My bf cheated on me with my sister for months. My sister acted completely normal too. 🤷🏻♀️

Where there is smoke there is fire 🔥. Your husband’s visceral reaction smells fishy. My gut says he may have cheated with your sister or has hidden feelings for her. Either way I wish you well.

Don't burn the bridge quite yet. Sister seemed genuinely concerned for him. Either she is a way better actor or she is innocent and the husband is just in love with her and has now realized she is moving forward with her life without him.
