The original poster (OP) is facing significant emotional and practical distress regarding her husband's planned celebratory work trip to Europe while she is heavily pr****nt with a high-risk pregnancy.
Her discomfort stems from serious medical concerns, the lack of local support for her toddler, and the emotionally charged timing of the travel coinciding with the anniversary of their first child's difficult birth.
The central conflict lies between the OP's justified need for her husband's presence and support during this vulnerable period and the husband's desire to attend a pre-arranged, all-expenses-paid event.
Is the OP being unreasonable by prioritizing her immediate, high-risk physical and emotional needs over her husband's desire to take this specific trip?
Conversely, is the husband demonstrating a lack of responsibility by insisting on traveling internationally for a non-essential event when his wife is medically vulnerable and unsupported?
