Pregnancy is challenging enough when you have a robust support system. But when the baby’s father refuses to help, that can take a massive toll on the mother.
One fed-up mom-to-be, who we’ll call Diane, took to a popular online forum to ask others for their opinions on her situation, with her husband refusing to take her to the doctors to check up on the fetus.
Diane and her husband are expecting a baby and are excited to welcome their firstborn into the family. But there’s a problem: Diane’s husband won’t accompany his wife to her doctor’s appointments.
Diane says he never has a good excuse to miss them, either. He’ll go to a soccer game or a friend’s game night instead of supporting his wife and unborn child.
So when Diane’s husband ditched her again to eat fish n chips with friends instead of going to his child’s gender-reveal appointment, she’d had enough.
Her husband texted her after the appointment, wondering what the sex of the baby was. However, Diane refused to tell him the results because of his neglect, and he was angry.
