A woman recently turned to Reddit seeking advice after she decided to become an egg donor for her gay best friend, only to find her husband is "furious" about her decision.
She had initially agreed to help her best friend start a family, a decision that has now left her husband extremely upset.
The 28-year-old woman explained that she and her husband had previously decided against having children of their own.
However, when her friend, who is also married, needed help, she felt compelled to step in.
Her friend asked her to donate an egg for him and his partner, an idea she was thrilled about.
She was excited about the prospect of being "closely involved" in the child's life, which filled her with joy.
However, the situation took a tense turn when she informed her husband of her decision.
His reaction was one of total shock and anger.
Now, she finds herself caught in a "donor dilemma," torn over how to handle the situation with her friend while considering her husband's feelings.
She attempted to reassure her husband by explaining that they would essentially be the baby's aunt and uncle.
However, this explanation didn't have the desired effect—she admitted that he was still "not okay" with the whole surrogacy situation.
Currently, he's not speaking to her, prompting her to seek advice from the online community.
The situation has shocked many people who read her story, with a significant number appearing to sympathize with her husband’s perspective.
