Suggesting couples counseling can be a form of gaslighting. This lady could have died in the shower while pregnant and her husband got mad at her for being upset he wouldn't answer her, after her begging him to just answer his phone. It pissed me off to see "counseling" suggested here& it's upvoted.

Couples counseling is what husbands do at the last leg of them sabotaging their marriage in order to say they tried.

The relationship is useless. He doesn't even care enough about her to take care of her when she's pregnant, he will never take care of the baby. He won't be able to be left alone with the child safely. So...whats the point.

Ahhh the gamers. They're honestly a special breed. I'm getting a hunch that she financed the console too.

Anyway, I hope she goes through with the divorce and puts him on child support.

redpandanation_ · 2021-01-10T17:38:44+00:00

I don't see why she's still "debating" divorcing him.

It’s always “communicate”, “therapy” “tell him how you feel” in these dumbass subreddits, I can’t even read them anymore. You should not have to TELL a grown man how to treat you during pregnancy, or to help you when you fall wtf?

Side note: the nasty ass “pregnant porn” subs that come up when you go searching for r/pregnant is enough to send me into a rage.

You can't counsel someone to actually care about you.

ProfessionalPee · 2021-01-10T17:32:07+00:00

If he doesn't care enough to not let this happen already, he doesn't care enough to benefit from any form of therapy.

Couples counselling? She's at one of the most vulnerable points in her life and he is not willing to even answer his phone, he definitely will not be useful when she actually has the kid.

Love the comments under that post.

“But have you tried communicating with him?”

You can’t communicate when you’re unconscious on the floor.

pickadaisy · 2021-01-10T18:06:43+00:00

We can all predict what this relationship is going to look like when the kid is born! We women are better off on our own. I’ve seen enough single mom’s attest to this!

Summerisle7 · 2021-01-10T16:18:15+00:00

Why hasn’t she sat him down and communicated with him???!

Geocities_SEO_Expert · 2021-01-10T18:01:55+00:00

This is ridiculous. As if it would ruin his life to turn off the fucking video game for 20 minutes to help her in and out of the tub, and just read the newspaper in between.

Altowhovian93 · 2021-01-10T16:32:31+00:00

How is this something she didn’t see until she was pregnant? What did he do if she was sick/ill before this happened?

whatismedicine · 2021-01-10T17:44:23+00:00

Lol counseling doesn’t teach someone how to be a fucking basic decent human being 😹😹

2021-01-10T16:44:15+00:00

I got fucking roasted for calling out the stupid suggestion of couples counseling. Fuck that entire sub. Pickme central. I'd instantly divorce my husband if he behaved this way. Thank you FDS for being sane.

LevelTurbulent · 2021-01-10T21:32:38+00:00

Counseling to make him give a shit if she and his child die?

Counseling will not do that, it's not magic.

biggestsigh · 2021-01-10T21:37:28+00:00

Have you considered couples counselling is akin to saying "have you thought of going to someone to convince him to be more caring? Have you tried that?" No because you can't talk someone into caring about you.

Fun_Sherbet · 2021-01-10T23:40:22+00:00

The more I hear about how scr*tes treat their pregnant wives, the more it breaks my heart. they should be pampering her 24/7. and these men are supposed to be fathers??? the poor child. they didn't ask for this.

Striking_Play_1393 · 2021-01-10T23:46:02+00:00

Counseling won't change a shitty personality. This is waaaayy deeper than communication issues

Fluid_Turnover · 2021-01-10T17:25:11+00:00

I don’t think couples counseling can fix a narcissistic man... The poor woman needs to leave his ass ASAP. He sounds completely heartless and being 27 weeks pregnant myself this really makes my blood fucking boil. Raising a child with a man like this will not only hurt herself but eventually her kid as well, he’s supposed to demonstrate what a man is and yet he is selfish enough to ignore his possibly injured or dying wife, I can’t imagine what he’s like the rest of the time!

MulticoloredCatMug · 2021-01-10T20:22:57+00:00

I’d be aborting that baby. Even if she gets a divorce she’s stuck with this loser.

Half_Halt · 2021-01-11T03:25:46+00:00

Good for her! An acquaintence of mine hemmoraged in the shower like 2 weeks after giving birth to their second child. Thank God her husband is kick a$$ awesome & on the ball in general & of course went into the bathroom to see what she needed when she said in what they both recall as very normal tone "Hey, hon? Could you come here a minute?"

Someone go bring this lady here so we can support her. She's made the best decision & needs to not let up.

Paradox_Blobfish · 2021-01-23T15:00:20+00:00

So she fell and could have died and HE won't speak to her? Ughhh
