He Missed The Birth Of His Daughter Due To Work, But His Wife Won’t Forgive Him
This man has a job that requires him to go for some periods of time without having access to his cell phone.
If that’s not the case, he’s often literally in the middle of nowhere without cell service. He knows when this is happening, as these events are scheduled well in advance for him and take up an entire day.
Also, there are many safety standards he must abide by while this is all going on, so it makes sense he needs to be without distractions.
During his wife’s pregnancy, he made a plan to take time off from work as her due date approached. But his wife unexpectedly gave birth a month earlier than they thought she would.
As his wife went into labor, he was completing an inspection and was in a bad service area. When he finally was in a spot where he had service once more, he found out that his wife was going into labor.
He rushed to the hospital, and he arrived to learn that his wife had already given birth to their little girl.
It’s been a year and a half since he missed the birth of his daughter, and he’s a very engaged dad.
His wife has hardly forgiven him, and whenever they encounter a disagreement, she’s quick to throw that in his face.
It doesn’t matter if they’re arguing about what kind of food they should get or something more serious: she does it without fail.

“Today was my breaking point; we got into an argument about her wanting to change the daycare situation,” he said.
“She wants to change daycare to one closer to the home. I do drop off and she does pick up. The only one closer to our home is too expensive, and we can not afford it.”
“In the middle of the argument, she pulled out I wasn’t there for the birth again. I told her she needs to get over that and stop using it in every…argument we have. She called me a jerk and left.”
He’s left wondering if it was wrong of him to tell his wife to move on already. What do you think?
