Fortunately, they live in Michigan and we live in Ohio, so I don't have that concern. I was just shocked when DH came upstairs and asked if I wanted to tell them congrats (I was also in the middle of entertaining a guest and mid-conversation, so it was rude in the first place). I am happy for them, but I just can't help but feel like it was careless and insensitive of DH to just walk up and announce that while he was still on the phone with them. My face had to have looked like I just watched someone shoot my horse. I'm probably overreacting, but I'm really glad I'm not alone in feeling this way. I think part of it is that men are a lot more logical and we are more emotional, so DH is able to separate how he feels and I'm not.
Yeh I'd be really upset if my DH did that. Unfortunately we used to see them weekly before lockdown so they told me in person. Thankfully a few other people were there for distraction but I'm sure my facial expression was awful. I couldn't even force congratulations out. I just stayed quiet for the rest of the day and cried all the way home. It was about 6 weeks after my mmc and I had retained tissue so I was still recovering physically and mentally at the time.
