A woman named Abby shared her fianc&eacute;&rsquo;s reaction to their gender reveal in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@abbys_life__\/video\/7598333869175213326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TikTok video<\/a> and it probably wasn&rsquo;t a good idea. After his general mood during the entire video was less than enthused (or at least appears that way), people absolutely flew to the comments on Spirit Airlines to share their thoughts and claims about the dad-to-be.<\/p><p>Look, some people just aren&rsquo;t comfortable on camera. In Abby&rsquo;s video, the scene is just the toe of them at a table with her phone recording them and a cake with pink or blue inside, though, so this isn&rsquo;t an all-out gender reveal with dozens of guests in attendance. Still, not many are willing to let this guys off easily, and his reaction (or lack thereof) in the gender reveal video is hard to ignore.<\/p><blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@abbys_life__\/video\/7598333869175213326\" data-video-id=\"7598333869175213326\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@abbys_life__\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@abbys_life__?refer=embed\">@abbys_life__<\/a> <p>&#129653;&#129655;&#129653;&#129655;<\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"&#9836; original sound - A  B B Y\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7598333970480220983?refer=embed\">&#9836; original sound &ndash; A  B B Y<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People agreed that the gender reveal is &ldquo;hard to watch&rdquo; because of the dad.<\/h2><p>In the video, Abby explains to her fianc&eacute; that they will both push a champagne glass into the cake without looking and then, once they both have a slice in their respective glasses, they will open their eyes to find out the gender of their baby. For some, it&rsquo;s a gender reveal method we&rsquo;ve seen before. But even before they both learn they&rsquo;re having a boy, the fianc&eacute;&rsquo;s facial expressions paint a picture of a guy who just isn&rsquo;t thrilled to be having a baby.<\/p><p>Then again, maybe this is a clear case of the Internet just not knowing how lovable and kind the man is IRL. Hey, that&rsquo;s totally possible. But this was the video Abby decided to post with the intent of sharing the happy news, despite her fianc&eacute;&rsquo;s lackluster performance? Oof.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&ldquo;Ummmm, that was kind of uncomfortable for us,&rdquo; one user wrote in the comments.<\/h2><p>Someone else added, &ldquo;&lsquo;Y&rsquo;all. It&rsquo;s OK. He just doesn&rsquo;t show his emotions and I really love him. He&rsquo;ll make a GREAT dad&rsquo; video coming tomorrow.&rdquo;<\/p><p>&ldquo;Commenting so it maybe brings me back in a couple years to your new single life!&rdquo; Another user wrote.<\/p><p>Others theorized that maybe the dad-to-be is &ldquo;camera shy,&rsquo; which is totally fine. But if he is, then Abby didn&rsquo;t <em>have<\/em> to share the video on TikTok.<\/p><p>Toward the end of the video, as Abby explains, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a boy,&rdquo; her fianc&eacute; does smile, but he never quite meets her eyes with his. He also doesn&rsquo;t say anything to give away his thoughts or opinions on having a child, let alone a boy. <\/p><p>Judging by Abby&rsquo;s reaction and telling her fianc&eacute;, &lsquo;You get a boy,&rsquo; it sounds like that might have been what her fianc&eacute; was hoping for. But you wouldn&rsquo;t know that from anything he actually says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You cannot post your gender reveal on social media if you don&rsquo;t want the internet picking it apart immediately after it goes live.
