So, I want you guys to let me know what you think about these situations. I'm bored, and these scenarios can have some controversial opinions. But I'm genuinely curious. What do all of you think?
Note that even though these scenarios aren't rants, they are a point of discussion. And serious ones. They deal with mild things from privacy issues, to family drama, and a severe breach of trust between family. You can choose to focus on one, or all. But i figured it'd be fun to see differing opinions. However, if this isn't allowed, I apologize. Again, bored. =P
Do you think it's appropriate for that forum? Or do you think this is something that is a private family matter?
Would you cave to the pressure your family puts on you? Or would you stand your ground and draw a very solid boundary.
What would you do? Would you break up your marriage? What would you do about the problem at hand?

Your child is in the hospital for something severe. They are maybe 2 or 3 months old, you're grieving, and all you can think about is that you want your kid to be okay.
While you're in this situation, your husband's brother's mother in law posts and image of your kid to a large group of strangers asking for prayers. Not only that, but they disclosed personally what was happening with your kid. And the community wasn't a prayer group, or to a group of people you know and trust, but to a group of gamers.

You've been planning your wedding for 3 years. You've been saving up, this wedding is your dream. You got you and your Fiance's dream venue, you picked a caterer you both loved, and that could accommodate food sensitivities of guests and still retain the most scrumptious flavours. You picked the dress, set the date, and everything's ready.
Now, it's the day before your wedding. Your sibling got engaged, but because their S/o is pregnant, they want to hijack your wedding, so they don't have a kid outside of wedlock. You say no, and your sibling get emotional and runs away. Now your family is upset at you, pressuring you, calling you a bad sibling and insisting you wait, but that venue only has an opening 3 years away. your fiance's family says screw them, you earned this, while you're concerned your own family won't even attend anymore.

You've been dating your s/o for years. When you met, you were perfect for one another. You wanted the same things. Be successful, travel, and live your life together. You both discussed kids, but you both felt it wasn't for you. Your S/O wasn't fond of kids, and you just don't want them. You don't dislike them, but you have no desire for them.
You and your S/O get married, and 5 years into your life, your S/O suddenly gets a change. They want kids. You still don't want them. You discussed this, and it becomes a big argument. Suddenly, your life begins to unravel. You love each other, and neither wants to break it off. But you feel a pressure. Your S/O seems to concede, and you go on with your life, until you find out you're pregnant. It's impossible, your BC was taken religiously and you even double up by using adequate protection. You sit staring at your pill pack and notice something odd about how they're sealed, and find out your S/O switched your pills out with placebos.
During the argument, you learn your S/O conversed with your mother, and your mother suggested you just needed a rough nudge, or an accident to happen for you to change your mind. You're crushed, you don't want kids, and now it's not just your S/O you can't trust, but your own parent.
