He’s Refusing To Be In The Delivery Room When His Pregnant Wife Gives Birth Because He Is Afraid He Will Faint

This man is currently married, and his wife is now 35 weeks pregnant. So, in just about a month, the couple will be welcoming a baby girl into the world together.
And with the delivery date just around the corner, his wife asked if they could have a conversation about the big day.
More specifically, she asked if he would be present in the delivery room while she gave birth.
Apparently, his wife claimed that his presence was very important to her. She wants him there to comfort and support her throughout the process.
Plus, she believes that if he were not in the room, then she would feel vulnerable, abandoned, and just alone.
Now, he claims that he “desperately” wants to make his wife feel as comfortable as she possibly can during the birth and be there for her “every step of the way.” However, that apparently does not mean he wants to actually be in the delivery room.
“The truth is, I honestly don’t know if I would be able to help her that much,” he revealed.
He is reportedly fearful that he might collapse at the sight of blood, forcing the doctors to deal with him instead of caring for his wife.
And he believes that putting himself and his wife in that situation just is not rational.

On top of that, he is also adamant that he will just get sick as soon as he sees any blood.
“It’s probably stupid, but I can’t help it,” he said.
In fact, he has reportedly fainted about a dozen times due to the sight of blood, and he believes that he would just be more of a hindrance rather than a help if he was in the delivery room.
Part of this fear might tie back to one video that one of his friends shared with him, which showed his friend’s wife giving birth. And apparently, he just could not bear to watch it.
“I understand that childbirth is a very natural, amazing, and wonderful event, but what I saw on that video, little as it was, still haunts me,” he explained.
He also pointed out how he is from the Balkans, where it is “actually pretty uncommon” for husbands to be present during the delivery of their children.
Nonetheless, ever since telling his wife that he does not want to be there, he admitted to feeling pretty ashamed.
He claims that his fear makes him feel weak, and he hates the fact that he cannot be there for his wife.
He also claimed to understand that his wife is the one who will really be going through the difficulties of birth, not just witnessing it.
However, he adamantly believes that he just will not be able to make it through the birth to support his wife without either passing out next to her or having to leave the room.
Understandably, though, his wife just got really upset after finding out about all of this. So, the couple has actually barely spoken to each other ever since.
And now, he has been left wondering whether refusing to join his wife in the delivery room while she gives birth to their daughter makes him a total jerk or not.
If you were his wife, how would you feel about this? Do you think he has reason to be fearful and worry about possibly taking care away from his wife if he faints? Or do you believe it is more important for him to be by his wife’s side and take precautions not to faint? If you were in his shoes, what would you do?
