Divorced my wife after she aborted our baby for her voodoo
FYI, I am using the AI tool to write this as i don't want anyone in my family or friends to find about this. They tend to side my wife on this while no one's taking my feelings in to accountability.
I am a 34-year-old man who has been married to my wife for 8 years. Together, we have a 6-year-old child, and my wife was pregnant with our second child. My wife is deeply spiritual, and while I didn't grow up with much knowledge of her interests due to my strict religious upbringing, I've always supported her enjoyment of these things as long as they didn't involve me directly.
During her first pregnancy, my wife visited a psychic to receive a "reading" about our baby. The psychic accurately predicted that we would have a boy with blonde hair, a detail that wasn't too difficult to guess since my wife also has blonde hair. Additionally, my wife had seen this psychic before she met me, and that reading had indicated she would soon find the love of her life.
This time around, while pregnant with our second child, my wife visited the psychic again. Shockingly, the psychic's reading took a dark turn. She predicted that our unborn child would grow up to commit terrible acts, causing harm to many innocent people and leading a life of crime. The prediction was unsettling, resembling something out of a horror movie. Despite my own skepticism, my wife took the psychic's words to heart and made the decision to book an appointment for an abortion without informing me.
When she finally revealed her plans to me, I did my best to persuade her to reconsider. Although she initially agreed to think it over, she ultimately proceeded with the abortion in secret, alongside her sister. Devastated by the loss of a child we had been trying to conceive for months, I packed my things and left, seeking refuge with my mother. I informed my wife that our relationship was over, but that I would return to take care of our son. Beyond that, I wanted nothing to do with her.
In response, my wife accused me of abandoning her during a time when she needed my support the most. She labeled me a terrible person for not respecting her autonomy over her body and criticized me for supposedly lacking control over her decisions.
In essence, this situation has left us in a deeply contentious state. My wife's belief in the psychic's predictions led her to make a major decision without involving me, and my inability to comprehend or accept her actions has led to a rift between us. Our differing perspectives on choice, responsibility, and the future have created an emotionally charged and difficult situation for both of us. Was I wrong here? Do let me know in the comments.
