Marriage can be tough to deal with sometimes. There are rainy days and sunny days, but what makes it better is knowing that no matter what one is going through, they are not going through it alone.
Unfortunately, in marriage it is still possible to feel all alone. A true partner sticks by you in tough times, but when one abandons his partner regularly to do things like party and hang out with friends, they are basically asking for trouble.
OP’s baby almost died in the process, but she doesn’t feel the need to get into all that. Still, she said it took a toll on her mental health. An experience like that would clearly be a nightmare to any woman.
OP’s husband told her he was planning to go on a weekend bachelor party trip, which was a nine hour drive away from where they lived, within the next week. Aside from the newborn baby, they have a two-year-old.
OP never gets to leave the house. She’s truly the definition of a stay-at-home mom. It’s so bad that she rarely gets the opportunity to take a bath every day. Yet, her husband is thinking of taking a trip.
Everyone is on OP’s side. They think her husband would be a bad person to do what he’s planning to, and they’re certainly not holding back in their responses.
u/imothro gives a piece of “straight-up” advice: “If your husband goes, divorce him. Your kid almost died four weeks ago and you just had emergency surgery. If he leaves you at home with a newborn and toddler under those circumstances, he shouldn’t bother coming home.”
