His Pregnant Girlfriend Is Threatening To Leave Him Because He Won’t Massage Her Gross Feet
Four years ago, this 28-year-old guy started dating his 27-year-old girlfriend, Mona, and they currently live together.
Overall, his relationship with Mona is great, though they do occasionally get into disagreements. Mona is 19 weeks pregnant, and they are expecting their first child together soon.
They were shocked when Mona got pregnant, as this was not planned, but they’re thrilled to build a family and become parents.
Mona did have a hard time with nausea at first, but things are improving. He did his best to be there for Mona and offered to do all of the cooking and chores around their house so she could relax.
“To be clear: I’ve always found feet gross, I just can’t help it,” he explained. “I’m not literally scared by them and can even appreciate pretty feet, but I really don’t want to touch them or have them touch me; it gives me goosebumps.”
“Mona knows it and used to tease me about it. Recently, she started to complain about sore feet, and she asked me to massage her feet, so despite my aversion to feet, I massaged her a few times.”
But now, Mona is expecting a daily foot massage that lasts at least 20 minutes. Yesterday, he attempted to tell Mona that while he adores her, he hates massaging her feet, so perhaps she could go to the spa for that.
Mona freaked out and called him selfish and a jerk before pointing out that they need to save up their money for their baby.
Mona also accused him of putting his own comfort above their future and their baby. He countered that they make great money, so if she wants to go get a foot massage at a spa, they can afford to do that.

“She was having none of it and said that if I’m not able to make an effort for her, my girlfriend carrying my child, then I am a [terrible] partner and will be a [bad] parent and threatened to leave and have the baby without me,” he said.
“She told me to leave her alone. I slept on the couch, and we haven’t talked since. She is supposed to spend the weekend with her friend who lives nearby, so she won’t be home until tomorrow. I don’t know what to do. I am upset and hurt by what Mona says because I’m really doing everything I can for her to be sure all her needs are being taken care of and to prepare the best future possible for our child but she never sees or appreciates it.”
“The fact that she thinks I will be a bad dad is destroying me. It is even worse that she is thinking about leaving and removing me from her life and our future baby’s life. I don’t know what to think about all this. Am I being unreasonable? Am I a [terrible] partner?”
