Wife is around 3 months pregnant with our third baby - we have two older boys.
Usually my wife is a sensible person and we get along well.
Recently got to know that we are expecting another little boy. My wife and I wanted some diversity in our family as this was going to be our last baby, so she and I were both a little let down but got over it pretty quickly or so I thought.
My wife today was talking about this with me - how we are expecting yet another boy and she won’t have any daughter to have some girl-bonding at all. She genuinely wanted to raise a daughter. I re-assured her that this baby is what we are blessed with now so let’s focus on him now.
She said, we don’t have to accept this. I was confused. I absolutely lost my mind when she SERIOUSLY suggested abortion and trying again for a girl. I thought she was joking at first but she actually spoke to a doctor about this and scheduled an appointment to discuss fertility concerns after an abortion.
To say I felt betrayed is an understatement. I yelled at her:
“If you think I am going to support this NONSENSE - forget it. This is frankly frivolous and irresponsible and you’d be an absolute moron if you are even considering this”
She started crying and said I was calling her stupid and I asserted damn right I was. She argued she shouldn’t be forced to carry a pregnancy she doesn’t want and I told her fine then - I won’t stay with a woman who thinks it’s okay to kill her own child because of their gender.
She legit started screaming at me and telling me I was invalidating her experience as a woman as our families only have boys and I can’t be bothered to understand her.

Am I wrong for feeling like my wife is a moron and wanting to leave cause she wants to abort our child because of gender alone, no other reasons?
