Seeking Advice: Should My Daughter Tell Her Husband About Her Pregnancy?

Dear Society Members,

I am writing to you in a state of uncertainty and hope for some guidance from this compassionate community. My daughter, Adeline, recently returned to live with us along with her young child. She has been going through a tough time adjusting back to life here while managing her responsibilities as a young mother.

Recently, Adeline confided in me that she is expecting another child. However, she is hesitant and refuses to share this news with her husband, Benjamin. She fears his reaction and the additional strain it might put on their already fragile relationship. Benjamin is not aware that she is living with us again, nor does he know about the pregnancy.

As a mother, I am torn. On one hand, I believe that honesty is crucial in a marriage, especially about something as significant as bringing another life into the world. On the other hand, I understand her fear and the delicate nature of her relationship with Benjamin.

Should Adeline tell Benjamin about the pregnancy? Is it wise to keep such a secret from her husband, or might honesty help them rebuild their relationship? I worry about the implications of either decision on both Adeline and her children.

Thank you for reading my letter. I eagerly await your thoughts and advice.

Warm regards,

Arianna
