Am I the A-Hole for letting my boyfriend touch my surrogate bump upsetting my sister?

I ain't touching it, man.

No, that's her.

So, okay, so O.P. is carrying her sister's baby.

And her boyfriend, O.P.'s boyfriend, is like touching her belly.

Up, up, pop.

On the surface, doesn't seem too weird for a boyfriend, O.P.'s boyfriend, is like touching her belly. On the surface, doesn't seem too weird for a boyfriend, as long as she's consenting to it. Is he doing the thing where he, like, goes up behind her and, like, picks up her pregnant belly and, like, relieves her of the pressure for a little bit? Are you seen those? She's trying to help her? Yeah. Dude, I want to do that one day. Yeah. You want to be pregnant and have it relieve. No, no. Ooh.

Have your own pressure relief. No, I want to do that one day. You want to be pregnant and have it relieve.

No, no.

Ooh. Have your own pressure relief. No, I want to relieve the pressure from a bit. Just like, yeah. It should be like, it depends on what kind of, you know, is O.P. OK with it.

option. I didn't love the idea at first, but after watching them struggle to conceive for the last

two years and some light insistence from my sister, I said, okay, they did agree to pay me some

form of compensation, but from Googling,

it seems like it's maybe 30% of what it would normally cost. Anyway, fast forward to today,

and I'm seven months along and all has went realistically pretty well. My sister has definitely

been checking in on me all the time, but I can't really blame her for that. But the problem

occurred a

couple days ago. So a couple months ago, I met a guy at a work event, let's call C. And we hit it off. He has a couple kids of his own, so he doesn't mind anything about my situation. And it's been going really well. Now that we've been together for a couple months, I wanted to introduce him to my sister. so I set up a dinner for the three of us.

Originally four, but her husband couldn't make it.
