AITAH for ruining Thanksgiving after my boyfriend announced my “pregnancy” and his mom fainted?

Alright, so I (20F) went to my boyfriend Jake’s (22M) family’s Thanksgiving dinner last week. We’d been dating a year, and this was my first time meeting the whole squad, so I was already kinda nervous. Before we left, Jake joked about how his family was super traditional and said I should “be ready” for some old-fashioned vibes. I just laughed it off.

Dinner starts and everything’s fine until Jake suddenly goes, “Hey everyone, we have big news!” I’m sitting there like, what big news? Then he grins at me and says, “Tell them, babe.”

I’m panicking, so I just sit there confused, and his mom is already emotional asking if we’re engaged or something. Then Jake drops, “She’s pregnant!”

Y’all, I am NOT pregnant. I immediately start denying it, but Jake’s cracking up, saying it’s “just a joke” and telling me to “play along.” His family isn’t laughing. His mom legit FAINTS, his dad starts yelling, and his grandma is praying under her breath.

I’m mortified. I stand up and go, “Actually, the real joke is Jake thinking I’d stay with someone who’d pull this,” and I walked out. Jake’s been blowing up my phone saying I embarrassed him and “ruined Thanksgiving.” His family is apparently mad at me for causing drama, but like… I didn’t announce a fake pregnancy and traumatize his mom??

AITA for walking out and leaving him to deal with the mess?
