Me and my husband Hunter were struggling with fertility issues, so we decided to get a surrogate who was a friend of a friend. We had a contract in place and everything was going smoothly – that is until Hunter started acting strange. He was constantly offering to do things for our surrogate like drive her places and even bring her gifts. Our surrogate even complained to me about his behavior, so I asked him to tone it down and respect her space. However, he got mad at me and accused me of being jealous. Yesterday, he went as far as to buy her a 9k car, which she declined. I had to pick a fight with him and remind him to stop disrespecting the woman and stop using the baby as an excuse. Now, tensions are high and it’s unclear what the next steps are. As we move forward, let’s take a look at the comments and reactions from the people around them.
