A female friend of mine is trying to trick her husband into having a second child with her, would I be wrong if I told him?

[Anonymous]

Friend is trying to trick her husband into pregnancy - would I be wrong if I tell him? Or if I don’t?

Super shortened - if more details needed, please ask. I’m m late 30s and have known friend for 1.5 years.

They have one kid (2F) together and he has told her no more. But she says their daughter needs a sibling because she gets sad when leaving social situations to go home. I have met Husband and seen him in passing a few times, but other than a quick “hello” we continue on our separate ways. She has stopped taking pregnancy precautions without telling him because it’s ‘the right decision and he’ll come around eventually.”

But if my partner was trying to get pregnant without my knowledge and someone knew that, I’d want them to tell me regardless of who they are (as long as it’s true/not said with malicious intent). Help?

I can't believe so many people support her deception.. Talk about a bunch of simps. Saying I shouldn't tell him is the same as saying you support paternity fraud, or rape by deception.. Shame..

I think i'd distance from that friend, agree not your business.

might be ok to ellude she wants another child and that women are that way, talk about how adapted to 2nd child, made a difference for 1st child. etc.. give the positives.

if he really doesn't want kids, he can get fixed without telling his wife.

You should tell him because of you don't he will have to pay more child support to her for her tricking him into it. It's wrong

Ah, the tangled webs we weave, right? My aim on Girls Ask Guys is to help unravel these sorts of knots. It sounds juicy, but we're dealing with real emotions here! Tricking someone into parenthood is a major red flag. Communication and mutual consent are key in such decisions. You're stuck between loyalty to your friend and your moral compass, but honesty usually wins in the long run. If you wouldn't want it done to you, it's worth considering telling him. Trust your instincts, but do it gently and thoughtfully. 😏 Make sure your motives are pure, and prepare for whatever comes next, hearts can be unpredictable! 🫶

I would tell him. A true friend warns you of dangers ahead.

Why be friends with that kind of person
