A woman has told how her husband says he’s been left ‘blindsided’ and refusing to speak to her after she shared her plans to donate eggs so her gay best friend and his husband could have a baby
A married woman has admitted that while she and her husband had made the mutual decision not to have children together, the decision to have a baby with her gay best friend had left her spouse ‘fuming’.
The 28-year-old told how her best friend, who is also married, had asked if she would be the egg donor so he and his husband could have a child together, ensuring she could be ‘closely involved’ in their child’s life. However, when she mentioned the situation to her husband he was allegedly ‘blindsided and furious’ leaving her in a ‘donor dilemma’ as to what to do for the best in relation to her best friend.
She said: “I was on board, however, when I mentioned this to my husband he was furious. He said he didn’t like the idea of his wife having a baby with another man.”

After trying to win her husband round by saying that they would essentially be the baby’s aunt and uncle, she confirmed he was most definitely ‘not okay’ with the stressful surrogacy situation: “Now he isn’t talking to me,” she said in her revelation on Reddit, before asking readers for their informed advice on her dilemma.
Many readers were on her spouse’s side, with one saying: “Agreeing before even discussing it with him was hugely dismissive and disrespectful. He’s perfectly entitled to be hurt and angry. Why did you think it would go any other way?”
Another agreed, questioning why the couple hadn’t asked both her and her husband for their blessing: “The gay friends should have asked BOTH of them when they proposed the whole idea. Just asking her was disrespectful of them towards the husband too.”
Another reader simply said: “This is rude as hell,” while one advised: “Marriages have unravelled for far less than what she is proposing, if you’re in a good marriage, the obvious answer is have a husband.”
