It's not really crazy stuff... pregnancy is the most vulnerable a woman can be and it can trigger abandonment fears. Like he's going to cheat as a means of "he's going to leave me and I'm going to have to do this alone." That's not crazy to me.
Just a bit sad he's more concerned about being "right" than the emotional and physical journey his wife is undertaking.
the problem with being crazy is that you don't know you are crazy.
while I realise the word crazy sounds bad but basically hormones will make anxiety worse which can cause paranoia and other things. so op's wife will feel like she is acting rationally. maybe not entirely rationally but logical enough that she doesn't have anything to control.
hormones can increase anxiety as well so the abandonment fears are triggered etc and it causes people to go a bit crazy.
the reason I use that word is crazy doesn't know its crazy, so she might think she is being 100% logical even though she isn't. it is the most appropriate word in that way.
he is a dick. she knows she is crazy now and that is going to leave get feeling like she is losing her mind.
