Also very human for her to not tell Harry out of bitterness, blaming him for her predicament, not just being a half vamp, but pregnant as well.
Dina:
Both of them had unprotected sex, and she was the one not taking measures the day after.

How do you know it was bitterness? It is clear they never stopped loving each other. I see no reason not to believe her stated motivation, living around Harry is dangerous.
And a relation with a half vampire would be problematic. Problematic enough not to try it? You can disagree with Susan and still believe that is what she thought.
And now living around Susan was dangerous too. She saw it but she could not cut herself off from her child completely. That is how people are.
And yes she should not have taken that decision alone because it was not just her child but that is how a lot of women think and one of the reasons a divorce can be so problematic but the feelings are real. Which is totally different from the feelings are right.
Trust your feelings is not always a good idea.

Her accusations during their first meeting in Changes. Her words were full of resentment, she took no responsibility for her predicament. She knew being around Harry was dangerous from Storm Front,yet she found it exciting and that very danger a key to her success, her decision to stick around. She was blaming Harry because of what happened to little Maggie. Now granted I imagine Martin was fueling a lot of this resentment for his own purposes. Susan is a selfish being from the beginning, that is why things turned out the way they did, she finally realized that in the end.

--- End quote ---
Fear of rejection and guilt for not involving Harry in her child. It makes more aggressive people lash out to silence all objections. She was not blaming Harry for her own choices, she was trying to defend them and part of that was telling Harry some things. Hurtful things no doubt but that happens. It is a wild cocktail of emotions for both of them but bitterness is not the driving force.
For what shows their feelings most they actually behave like a couple. They tell themselves all sort of reasons why they shouldn't but they do.
Even in their fights.
