Can you imagine getting married and starting a family, only to have your husband be extremely absent and unsupportive?

Sadly, that’s the same situation this woman has found herself in. Ever since she found out she was expecting, her husband has barely been there for her.

First of all, the only appointment he ever attended with her was the very first one to confirm she was actually pregnant.

“Even then, he didn’t want to be there and was on his phone throughout the ultrasound,” she recalled.

And since that initial appointment, he has not gone with her to any others. This is partly because, given how he acted at the doctor’s office, she decided not to bring him along anymore.

Instead, she figured she would just give her husband updates and let him know what her doctor said.

Some spouses might’ve caught onto this, either realizing they messed up or at least showing increased interest as time went on. Her husband, on the other hand, never seemed to care that he was excluded.

“I noticed he never asks about my appointments, how I am doing, or how the baby is doing,” she explained.

“So, I stopped giving him updates.”

His inconsiderate behavior persisted in other areas, too. For instance, he claimed that he didn’t want to be a part of her gender reveal party. Plus, when she mentioned her plans to have a baby shower, he had the nerve to say it wasn’t “important.”

He also wouldn’t even allow her to have the shower in their backyard, either. According to him, her guests “killed his grass” during the gender reveal party.

Her husband has left her feeling alone on this journey. He never shows any concern whenever she is sick, in pain, or literally throwing up.

“I am going through this pregnancy all by myself, emotionally and physically,” she stated.

That’s why she doesn’t even want her husband to be in the delivery room with her when it’s time to welcome her baby. After all, he has never once held her hand or shown that he cared.

“What is he going to do in the delivery room? I really want my mom in there with me,” she vented.

However, she can’t help but wonder if she’s overreacting and not taking her husband into the delivery room with her would be wrong.

Does her husband deserve to be there, given how he’s behaved? Should she do what makes her most comfortable?
