Woman Contemplates Dropping Husband After He Abandons Her and Leaves the Hospital for the Night While She’s in Labor: ‘I can’t shake the feeling of betrayal’

Many women dream of being a mother. What usually completes the dreamy image of pregnancy and childbirth is your partner by your side, unwilling to leave you alone in this vulnerable moment. After all, you both created this new person, a new life. It's only right that both of you are present to support each other, but more so support you, as you are the one pushing the little fella out and will likely need all of the emotional strength you can muster.

The woman in this Reddit story is considering dropping her husband after he abandoned her during childbirth. At first, he was excited and enthusiastic about the idea of having a child. Toward her due date, he began distancing himself from any baby-related conversations, which struck the woman as odd. On the night of her labor, he panicked and told her he wouldn't be able to be in the delivery room with her. He said he'd wait outside, but that does not feel comfortable staying with her. The woman rightfully felt abandoned and vulnerable, and expressed that during that time, she felt it was the loneliest moment in her life. After heading to the recovery room, her husband is nowhere to be found.
