My wife is 32 weeks pregnant and is having to monitor her blood sugar daily. She wanted me to check mine, so I did....but shes mad at me because I changed the needle before checking my sugar. She is mad because I didnt use the same needle that she had just used and says that I shouldnt worry about her having any diseases and i should be comfortable using the same needle. I told her that wife or not, Im not using someone elses needle. She is pissed at me now, tell me im in the right?

It has been soiled so use a new one. Call me a germaphobe if you want to but I would probably have done the same.

Just tell her you changed the needle because of good habits from work. You don't want to break this habit and make a life threatening mistake at work.

FIFY, marriage has nothing to do with female hormones, I mean intellect.

OP, you will never be right, but ask her to share the same silverware while you eat something she hates.

If she really has a problem with it, look up some super close up pictures of needles, and what they look like after having been used. Yep, gross. She'll never use a needle twice again.

Simple way to avoid the issue:

Check your blood first. Then you'll have to change the needle anyway because you don't want to harm the baby.

While technically being in the right, you handled it abysmally. You should have:

A. Used her needle. BFD, you swap bodily fluids anyway.
B. Used the "Honey, it's just a habit from work, sorry" line.
C. Used it first, handed it to her.
D. Dropped it while trying to take it from her, then used a new one.
E. Use Harvsters idea, then pack your shit and move.

ETA: to highlight the most important part of your post.
