to not want to share our birth photos

AIBU for not wanting to share our birth photos.

I am going into hospital on Tuesday 17th for my second c section. Last time MIL wanted ALL our photos that were taken during surgery, this time will be the same no doubt. I told DH last time I didn't want anyone to have them as they are private to me and I don't really want copies made by all his family being shared with every tom dick and harry they know- really when I'm not at my finest - on the bloody operating table for god sakes i feel like its a massive invasion of my privacy. But he gave them to her anyway because he didn't want to upset her.

Cant really say we didn't take any this time because thats blatantly a lie. AIBU for not wanting to share these intimate snaps with the world??

Your husband is a coward who has no respect for you.

You are not a bitch.

HTH.

I will never, to my dying day, understand men who will happily devastate their wives in order to not to slightly annoy their mothers.

I am afraid to say that I could not continue a relationship with a man who would put his mothers demands over my feelings, and especially over something as private as C/S birth photos. I just couldnt have any respect for him at all.

I would be livid if my husband had done this, but then he wouldn't and as you can see from the responses, it is not normal for someone's partner to blatantly disregard their wishes like this. I don't even know what to say - rarely have I come across anyone being less unreasonable, but your husband is such an almighty prick that he's made you feel as though you are being a bitch for not wanting his mother to look at photos of you having surgery. It beggars belief, it truly does.

Good god, why on earth would anyone want to see someone else's birth photos?
Just weird.
