A woman has shared how her husband mocked her embarrassing and traumatic experience in front of her in-laws.
She is now asking if she was wrong to yell at him after he ridiculed her ‘most painful and difficult experience.’
The woman took to Reddit and wrote: “When I went into labour I had the most difficult time of my life, I was in pain for hours and I did something so embarrassing in the delivery room.”
“I pooped myself which was unexpected and it was so embarrassing,” she continued. “My medical team were very professional about it, but my husband couldn’t help himself and started laughing about it later.
“He even told my family about it but they didn’t react and just didn’t find it funny. Neither did I, in fact, I found it embarrassing and I already told him to stop bringing it up, especially when he started joking about getting me diapers for my ‘oopsies!’
“It got really tiring and chipped away from my self-esteem and confidence.”
But when they celebrated New Year’s Eve with her husband’s family, her husband brought it up again when she excused herself to go to the toilet.
Her husband told her: “Oh yeah, you should go quickly because we don’t want any accidents just like the one we had at the hospital, you know what I mean.”
His family started laughing and she just lost it.
“I was astonished and so angry and ashamed, I literally just lost it on him and yelled at the top of my lungs calling him a cruel insensitive jerk to be using the difficult experience of birthing his child as a joking matter and humiliating me in front of everybody,” she went on.
“He was shocked, staring back at me and not saying a word,” the wife continued. “All went silent and I just stormed off to the bathroom until we left and that was when he snapped saying I messed up by talking to him like that in front of his family during dinner.
“I said I couldn’t hold my tongue for that long and after he kept joking about an embarrassing thing when I told him to stop.
“He said he was just joking and I went overboard with my reaction, saying I should’ve sucked it up and waited until we got home so we could address this privately and I could even yell at him as long as I wanted.”
The wife is now asking whether she was wrong to yell at her husband in front of her in-laws.
One person commented: “How ignorant is he that he doesn’t know that pooping during birth happens a lot. It’s almost as if you are giving birth and losing some bodily functions in the process. He needs to knock it off and just appreciate the fact you put your body through all of that for both of you to have your beautiful baby.”
Another wrote: “What a pathetic little man and as for his mother, she should have told her son that it was inappropriate to speak to his wife like that or make fun of her.”
A third added: “Personally, I’d divorce him. If he can make a ‘joke’ about that in front of his highly entertained family at the dinner table then he, and his family, are not worth knowing.”
