He Told His Pregnant Wife To Stop Complaining And Acting Like A Child, And Now She’s Refusing To Speak To Him
This thirty-five-year-old man and his thirty-three-year-old wife are currently pregnant with their first child and are set to welcome their baby into the world this December.
But, even though this nine-month period is supposed to be a time filled with intimate joy between partners, he has apparently been hating it.
For context, he lives with chronic pain as a result of various health issues. At the same time, he works a job where he is constantly up and on his feet.
So, he is always tired and in pain after work. And before you suggest he find a new job, he claims that he cannot right now but plans to as soon as possible.
Anyway, this means that tending to his wife during her pregnancy has been a serious issue for him.
It all began after his wife quit her job once they found out they were expecting. And even though they had always planned to do that, the arrangement did not pan out as he thought it would.
“The problem is, she has gotten really lazy. And I understand pregnancy is hard, but it’s gotten to the point where she won’t even make food or clean the house sometimes,” he said.
Apparently, his wife has also been constantly whining and complaining ever since she took the pregnancy test. He claims that she sounds “like a child” and says things like, “I hungry” or “I sore.”
Plus, he believes that his wife always expects things of him right after work.

“The second I get home every night, she wants me to do something for her. She expects me to cook and clean as soon as I get home,” he explained.
Still, he claims to have known that these things were just a normal part of pregnancy. So, he apparently “bit his tongue” despite how much his wife’s behavior annoyed him.
Well, that was until just a few days ago when he got home from a ten-hour shift at work. That night, he was having a bad pain flair-up and just wanted to take a bath and relax.
He also allegedly told his wife about how bad his day had been and said that she should just Doordash some dinner. This was apparently a rare suggestion coming from him since the food delivery fees are so high.
In turn, he thought that Doordash would sound like a treat and make his wife happy. However, his wife actually thought the opposite.
She ended up telling him that takeout would not do because it had been making her sick. So, she asked for a home-cooked meal.
After hearing that, though, he apparently could not take his wife’s “demands” anymore and totally blew up on her.
“I yelled at her. I told her I’d had the worst day and that she needed to stop complaining and be an adult for once,” he recalled. Yikes!
If you could not have guessed it, his wife immediately became upset and started crying. Then, even though he repeatedly tried to apologize, his wife actually ended up leaving their house.
He did not know where his wife had gone at the time. But, she apparently went to her parent’s house– because a few hours later, he received a call from his infuriated mother-in-law.
And on the phone, he got accused of being a misogynistic jerk, along with a ton of other names. However, he did not think he deserved that, so he just hung up the phone.
Ever since then, though, the beans about his marriage have apparently “been spilled.” So now, all of the women in his family have been calling him up and berating him.
And on top of that, his wife is still refusing to speak to him. So, he has been left alone at home and wondering if telling his pregnant wife to quit acting like a child was the wrong thing to do.
Do you think that both he and his wife need to work on supporting each other more or not? Did he go about addressing the situation in the right way? How would you reconcile this argument?
