His Wife Miscarried And He’s Telling The Internet He Blamed Her Entirely For It
A 30-year-old man has been married to his 27-year-old wife, Annie, for the past 3 years now, and he’s extremely well off, which he feels is important mentioning and we’ll get to that in a minute.
He owns several buildings that have apartments as well as business spaces in them, so he makes the majority of his income just on the rents from those spaces.
Additionally, he works in IT for himself, so that adds to the money he makes off the rentals.
When Annie got pregnant, he told her that he wanted her to stop working her job as a lawyer, since she does have health problems including bone issues and anemia.
Although he asked Annie to remain home, Annie told him she would continue to work.
“A week ago, she passed out at her office and fell down the stairs causing her to lose our unborn baby in the process,” he said.
“I was at home when I got the call from her assistant saying that she fell. I rushed to the hospital only to be told we lost our baby.”
“My wife was crying but I refused to listen to her and blamed her for the miscarriage. I said that our child dodged a bullet by not being born to her. I left her at the hospital.”
Annie’s doctor did point out that this was a terrible accident, before explaining to Annie that she would no longer be able to have children after this.

The following day, his sister took Annie home from the hospital, and since then, he has ignored Annie.
When Annie got home, she did say to him she would quit her job, and he retorted that he did not understand why it took losing their baby for her to feel like this.
His sister overheard the whole conversation and said he was awful for talking to Annie that way. He initially did not understand why he was the worst for speaking to Annie how he did.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“This is hard enough as it is and is not your wife’s fault. Also, half your post is about how well off you are and it all sounds controlling…”
“Your wife wanted to maintain her independence, and instead of supporting her, you fought her on it. I’m sure that did wonders for her stress levels.”
“Then, when one of THE WORST THINGS A PERSON CAN EXPERIENCE happened to her, instead of supporting her you blamed her for it! Where is your empathy? Where is any display of love for your wife? What happened to “in sickness and in health”?”
“Regardless of whether or not your wife was actually to blame here, I guarantee you she’s already dealing with enough guilt for both of you because the human body is hardwired that way. She does not need you chiming in with “I told you so”.”
“Hopefully, this experience is the wake-up call she needs to get out of this toxic relationship and find someone who understands that “supportive” isn’t just an architectural term. Meanwhile, you can go off and find yourself the meek little stay-at-home housewife you clearly want.”
“You sound like you’re just trying to use the income to justify that you have the high road on why she should have stayed home. It sounds very controlling and manipulative.”
“She could have passed out staying at home too and lost the baby…would you have still blamed her? Pregnancy, in general, is a risky time.”
“You both lost an unborn baby. She was carrying it in her body and felt the loss physically. She’s already feeling awful and probably blames her, too.”
“She doesn’t need this treatment from her partner even if it is her fault.”
