Woman refuses to show husband their baby's ultrasound photos over his 'no filter' comments

'I just refused to show him any more photos and told him to get out of the room,' the woman wrote

A pregnant woman wrote on the 'AITA' forum about how she was irked by her husband's rude comments while she was showing him the ultrasound pictures of her child. The woman calls herself a "26-year-old overthinker," who already has an eight-year-old from a previous relationship. In the post, she mentioned that she and her husband, 30-year-old "Bill," were expecting their first child together in three weeks but now it seemed like things have gotten rocky between the couple.

The 'AITA' forum is becoming quite popular nowadays on Reddit, where people post anecdotes about their daily lives and seek advice from others. The woman, who goes by the Reddit handle u/One_Appearance245, mentioned that in the beginning about how she overthought about things before she even said them.

'Bill has no filter whatsoever' 

Thewoman wrote, "To put it lightly Bill has no filter whatsoever. It’s extremely annoying at times since I’m someone that over thinks everything and will go over what I’m about to say 10 times before it leaves my mouth to make sure it’s not rude, he thinks there might be something wrong with him because he doesn’t understand social cues and is pretty awkward but won’t get it checked or anything." 

The woman continued, "Today I went for an appointment and they did a 4d ultrasound because they haven’t been able to see his face lately due to him always sucking his thumb," adding, "I’ve never had a 4d ultrasound before and was so excited to see my baby. Of course like all 4d ultrasounds the baby looked like a crisp lasagna when you don’t know what you’re looking at but still cute and exciting seeing your baby and all their facial features for the first time."

'I clicked on the best clearest photo we got to show him first'

The woman revealed that what could have been a memorable moment for both of them, was completely ruined due to her husband's impudent remark. She wrote, "I got home and waited for Bill to come home so I could show him the photos and videos. I have him sit down and I clicked on the best clearest photo we got to show him first (a few photos he had his hand up or was at a bad angle or the umbilical cord was giving him a handlebar mustache) he looks at the photo and I’m pointing out there’s his eyes and nose and mouth etc and the first thing out of his mouth is “wow he’s ugly” immediately I get mad, lock my phone and refuse to show him any other photos."

The post continues, "He asked if that was the only photo I got and I said “no I got more but why tf would I show them to you if you’re just going to sit there and call my baby ugly? I was so excited to show you these and you’ve completely ruined the moment because you don’t know how to shut your damn mouth” he looked shocked that I was mad and said it’s fair game because I call the baby names all the time (when I’m in a ton of pain I will say things like “this little shit won’t get out of my ribs”) I told him it was completely different and he claims it’s not and he should be allowed to call the baby ugly and also said hopefully that’s not how he’ll look when he comes out." 

In the end, the woman wrote, "I just refused to show him any more photos and told him to get out of the room. He’s mad that I won’t show him the rest and still doesn’t understand why I’m upset. I am pregnant so maybe it’s just hormones getting to me so AITA? Did I overreact or is he just an idiot?" 

'My son looked very much like his crispy lasagna photo'

Reddit users backed the woman and shared their own experiences. One user commented, "My son looked very much like his crispy lasagna photo when he was born. I didn’t want a 4D, but the neonatologist needed it. The tech printed some pics for me. I was surprised at how accurate the pic was when I finally got to see his little face."

Another wrote, "I was surprised how accurate our regular ultrasound looked. He looked exactly like his close up face. I saw him and said omg he's got your nose. Sure enough, he had hubby's nose when born lol his nose hooks down and getting a Lil bump too like hubby's bloodline lol poor Lil fella lol I even saw hubby's lips in the ultrasound... my favorite feature. We also saw all his hair."

One user joked, "I told the tech my son looked like Lord Voldemort in one ultrasound. We got a lot of ultrasounds during my pregnancy with him so I saw all phases and some of them were interesting to say the least."

One Reddit user slammed the woman's husband by saying, "I’d be pushing him to get a diagnosis for what is an obvious problem. Blurting out hurtful and stupid things can damage people, like your kids later on. Also when I saw my granddaughter on her 3D ultrasound I was appalled at her horribly large nose. It was half her face. Luckily it was normal after all, but I kept my horror to myself. Your husband needs to learn that trick. NTA."

"If we're being honest, newborns are almost always kinda ugly and creepy. They get a lot cuter after a month or two but they are NOT cute when first born - it's just the polite thing to say unless you manage to snap a SUPER GOOD picture. I think it's fair to be upset by such a rude comment and OP's husband should have known better than to say such a rude thing. NTA (and the husband is - because saying rude shit doesn't make it okay just because it's true)," a user chipped in.
