This Pregnant Woman Left Her Insufferable Husband At The Doctor’s Office And Drove Home Without Him
A woman and her husband of three years are currently pregnant with their very first child. Since she got pregnant, her husband’s behavior has become compulsively paranoid, controlling, and all-around concerning.
She’s naturally wondering if she was overreacting or if her partner’s behaviors pointed toward a more significant problem.
He had begun criticizing her behavior as bad for the baby, including what she ate, continuing to work at her job, when she saw her family, and even the entertainment she watched.
She shared that he “came up with a list of what I’m allowed and not allowed to do” while she is pregnant.
One night, he woke her up and insisted they go to the doctor because his intuition told him something was wrong with the baby, even though she felt absolutely fine.
Her husband kept persisting, yet she refused to call out of work the following morning, so he called her boss for her.
They went to the doctor, who confirmed that everything was fine, but her husband continued to ask for repetitive checks until she had had enough.
While her husband argued with the doctor, she left the appointment, alone. He called her angrily, and she finally told him that his obsessive behavior was reaching alarming levels.
She wrote, “his paranoia made me feel paranoid and is beginning to affect my social life, mental and physical health, and my livelihood.”

Apparently, this revelation hurt his “feelings,” and he proceeded to tell her she was a bad mom before turning his phone off and giving her the silent treatment.
Several people let her know that this was clearly the beginning of an alarming relationship dynamic. One user noted some of the signs that were clear red flags.
“He’s isolating you, interfering with your career, and not even listening to doctors. If you stay, you’ll soon enough be completely dependent on him and isolated from anyone who could help you get out.”
One woman spoke out who had been in an extremely similar situation and gotten away from her controlling ex-husband.
“Please please take this situation seriously. It will NOT get better once the baby is born. It will get worse.”
