AITA for not wanting my husband to go see Batman when our baby is due?
A couple stands on the brink of monumental change, expecting their first child on the very day a much-anticipated Batman movie premieres. For the husband, the allure of the film’s opening night is a sacred event, a pa*sion he holds dear.
But for the wife, whose body is about to bring new life into the world, the date carries the weight of hope, fear, and the unknown.
Caught between love and expectation, she feels unseen and unheard as her husband dismisses her concerns, brushing off the significance of their unborn child’s arrival in favor of a fleeting thrill.
Their clash is more than about a movie—it’s about respect, priorities, and the fragile balance of what it means to truly support one another.

The original poster is facing a conflict where her husband prioritizes seeing a movie on its opening day, citing concerns about spoilers, over potentially being present for the birth of their child, which is due on the same day.
She feels deeply devalued and deprioritized by his stance, contrasting sharply with her expectation that he should prioritize her and the birth above entertainment.
Is the husband justified in insisting on seeing the movie opening day due to spoiler concerns, even if it risks him missing the initial moments of labor, or is the wife correct in viewing his desire as a failure to prioritize the gravity of childbirth and their shared commitment?
