WIBTA if I became the sperm donor for a friend of mine who once saved my life against my wife's wishes?

Yeah it’s his choice, but ultimately he needs to acknowledge and consider his wife’s feelings.

If it was the other way round, and wife was pregnant but husband didn’t want to have kids, she absolutely needs to consider his feelings as to if she goes through with the pregnancy or gets an abortion.

In both cases, it’s ultimately their body, their choice - but that choice affects them both and will affect their marriages.

So far, no one here in reddit is telling him what to do, but is pointing out that this is a decision they both need to be comfortable with. Why? Because they both decided to marry each other, and marriage means to be a partnership, and to decide things together, and to be considerate of the others feelings.

So far, it’s a NAH situation - it only becomes and asshole situation if he completely disregards how his wife feels and does not acknowledge that this will affect the marriage. He can talk to the wife about and give them both time to mull it over, see if either change their minds - but ultimately they both need to agree on that decision together.
