A woman who refused to tell her husband the gender of their baby because he kept on skipping scans is now wondering if she was in the wrong.
Taking to Reddit, the mother-to-be explained that her husband kept blowing her off to meet with his friends.
“My husband and I are expecting. This is our first baby and we’re excited,” she wrote.
The unnamed woman continued: “Thing is he barely attends any [doctor’s] appointments with me and his excuses aren’t even valid. He’s willing to miss [an] appointment over soccer or a drink or board game with friends.
“His response is always ‘I’m not the one carrying the baby, why do I have to go see the dr with you?’”
Even though she tried so hard to be patient, what he did last week pushed her to her limits.
“He was supposed to come with me for the baby’s gender reveal appointment but he chose to not come last minute because his friend invited him to fish ‘n’ chips meal.”
The pregnant woman said that her mother went with her for the gender reveal appointment instead of her husband.
While having fun with his friend, the husband texted her to ask whether the baby is a boy or a girl. When she didn’t reply, he called her many times.
“I hung up each time,” she expressed. “He came home fuming demanding I tell him the results but I refused and bluntly told him, since he refused to attend the appointment then he gets no results til after the baby’s born and said I was willing to die on this hill.”
But her husband slammed her as immature and spiteful, adding that ‘he’s the father and has the right to know.’
People on Reddit were quick to share their thoughts on the matter, with one person writing: “I would drop a friend if I found out they prioritized fish n chips over their wife and baby’s doctor appointment.”
Another said: “Already a deadbeat dad before the baby is even born.”
A third added: “If he’s telling you ‘I’m not carrying the baby why do I have to go to the doctor with you’ that’s going to turn into ‘I didn’t push out that baby, why should I look after it!!’ Reeeealll quick.”
