Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : This one is a bit complicated so bear with me.

My wife and I have a great relationship. We live and support each other and have built a life and family together that we are proud of. The one rough part of our life right now are some fertility issues that have made it difficult for us to conceive our second child. We have had multiple miscarriages and have been trying pretty non-stop for a most 2 years at this point. We are a few months from implanting our first round of IVF.

My wife is very uptight about anything baby related. When trying to conceive she has drunk no alcohol, no caffeine, is incredibly sensitive to things like lunch meats etc. basically all the things you would expect an already pregnant person to do. I get it, these are things she can control and I have done my best to support her.

Here is where things get a bit difficult. My wife is an infectious disease physician. We have not traveled below the Mason Dixon line in 5 years due to her concerns around the Zika virus. I have done my best to be supportive of this but it has been incredibly difficult to negotiate with my job.

In a few weeks I am expected to be in Vegas. Under normal circumstances I would bow out but this is one of those few situations where I really can’t. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I will get fired but I would be SERIOUSLY screwing some people over.

I know that the likelihood of me contracting the Zika virus is essentially null and have tried to reason with her but she is drawing a pretty hard line and is clearly pretty upset. I feel like I am caught in a really hard place here. At the same time I think I have been enabling some behavior on her end that I probably shouldn’t be enabling.

So Reddit AITA in this situation. Should I just suck it up and screw over my job in favor of my wife’s concerns?
