Woman Thinks It's A Waste To Tell Her Uncaring In-Laws About Her Pregnancy, Husband Gets Hurt About It

by Maryjane

You may be an approval seeker if you struggle to make decisions on your own or get upset when people disagree with you. Human relationships may occasionally involve the need for approval, but constantly pursuing approval from others could be a symptom of emotional difficulty.

By definition, acceptance refers to the idea that something is suitable or appropriate. A person who wants approval is pleading with others to accept them for who they are or for what they have done.

Seeking the praise of others frequently indicates that you haven't given it to yourself. It's just like a child's perception of value increases when they receive affirmation on a regular basis.

They ultimately gain confidence in their internal sense of approval, realizing that they frequently have it when they don't need external validation. The OP's husband in today's story is an approval seeker.

The OP shared how she and her husband found out they were expecting. They announced it to the OP's family, as they are very involved, but the husband's family is estranged.

The OP also mentioned that they don't like her husband and have been telling her to leave him and save herself since she got together with him. Still, the husband wanted to tell his side of the family about the pregnancy so they could see that "he's not the man that he used to be." 

And here's the headline...

Some kids might go through difficult situations that leave them feeling insecure or with poor self-esteem. Due to this, they might struggle as adults to accept themselves.

As a result, they might constantly try to win others over and engage in people-pleasing activities. Some redditors understood how the OP felt, while others didn't.
