Dude, you are entitled to know what your wife is up to. The fact that you're feeling guilty about it demonstrates that you are neither overbearing or controlling, but rather taking steps to verify or dismiss suspicions.

With that said, you have a big problem. If you do nothing, she will absolutely drift further away until leaving you is a very easy decision. You need to confront her and demand she make a decision: to stay married and keep the family together, or get divorced and split the family apart. Her being faced with that stark decision MIGHT get her to snap out of it. If she decides to split up the family, then you'll know and can move forward. If she chooses to stay and make things work, then it sounds like you both have a lot of work to do.

Ignoring the problems and beating yourself up for figuring it out will NOT solve anything. Demand her to make a decision and own it. Obviously let her know which choice you'd prefer, but there should be no confusion that its HER decision and it needs to be made NOW.

She's already gone. Even if she has broken it off with the other guy and is just resigned to being married to you, she clearly doesn't like you, and she can't unsay the things she said. Get a lawyer, since there are kids involved.

This brought back a not as interesting memory. Had a small pair of scissors we typically used for fingernails. I grabbed them one night to cut my nail and make it even. Somehow, this night, they slipped out of my hand and fell. You can guess where. Luckily, the sharp end bounced off my foot and didn't impale it, so no ER. Just pain and a blood spot on my sock.

Not sure why you focused on the "what are you having" part of it since that was the only one that made sense since not knowing the gender and "figuring it out" when the child is born isn't really weird at all. Saying it's annoying instead of exciting seems like a bigger deal to me.

Also it would definitely not have been weird or awkward to just say you misheard and you do infact not have a kid on the way.

Hello, We are also a version of an alter ego in a sense, have you already forgotten how real it all felt?, the altered feeling is real but it is surpressed by the current version of the human brain that hasn't evolved to communicate with these higher levels of consciousness, we are truly blessed by these consumables that temporarily let us access this plane of existenance, the way forward is to use technology and AI primarily to fast-forward the brain and it's level of consciousness for easier and more fluid access to this state of being that we will all share one day.

This reminds of the time when I had a plane "toy" (more like a model), made from some kinda super hard plastic, which for some reason had a super pointy/spiky (don't know the correct word, not a native speaker) cylinder nose. In addition to that, the wings and the rear were aligned perfectly so it could stand upright, having the nose pointed straight up of course.

For some reason I always stored it like this and apparently I thought it was great to keep right next to my bed on the floor. Needless to say, after waking up in the middle of the night for a toilet break, I suddenly had an actual hole in my foot (not all the way through). Don't remember much more from it as I was quite young.

​

I can't find the model, but the nose here is pretty close. Only that the one I had was a less "rounded" cylinder, but just straight lines forming it
