Her Fiancé Plans To Go A Golf Trip Just Two Weeks Before She’s Supposed To Have Their Baby, So She Feels Like He Cares More About Having Fun With His Friends Than Being There For Her
This woman is currently engaged, and she and her fiancé are expecting their very first baby together. Right now, she’s 24 weeks pregnant, and her due date will be at the beginning of August.
But, to her surprise, her fiancé recently brought up the idea of going away on a weekend golf trip with his buddies just two weeks before she was supposed to give birth.
“He didn’t ask; just basically told me he was doing that,” she recalled.
Her fiancé claimed that he and his friends would only be two and a half hours away. Plus, he said that since labor lasts a long time, it would be “okay.”
She didn’t really agree with him, though, and pointed out how she’s obviously never had a baby or gone into labor before. So, she’d hoped he would be there for her and drive her to the hospital.
“It’s a nerve-racking and possibly a once-in-a-lifetime situation for me,” she reasoned.
Well, her fiancé just claimed that his mom would be more than happy to take her to the hospital. And she wasn’t very happy with his response.
She tried telling him how she didn’t want anyone else to have to drive her or be there for her while he was gone. She would rather just be with her fiancé or by herself.
Then, she attempted to come up with a compromise that would work for both of them.

“I asked him why he can’t go maybe a month before the due date because that may be a bit safer, albeit you just never know,” she said.
Still, her fiancé wouldn’t budge and said a different weekend might not work for his friends. So, he’s still set to leave for his trip two weeks before her due date, and they haven’t been able to resolve this issue in their relationship.
On the one hand, her fiancé is apparently “convinced” that the golf trip really isn’t a big deal and that her feelings don’t matter.
“And I’m convinced he cares more about having fun with his friends than being there for me,” she vented.
Nonetheless, since they’re stuck in a stalemate, she’s unsure if wanting her fiancé to stay home as opposed to going on a golf trip two weeks before she’s supposed to have their baby is really so unreasonable or not.
Can you understand why she wants her fiancé nearby when her due date gets closer? Why do you think her fiancé is so set on going on the trip anyway? What would you do in her shoes?
