'When my husband told me to shush during labour I knew our marriage was over'

Men should be forced to wear a simulator sending them mockup birth pain during labor tbh. We all know they can only handle a percentage of the real deal but then they'd understand that birth is a little bit harder than taking a shit or being kicked in the nuts

And these are the same men who whine and moan and throw a fit if you even suggest the idea of getting a vasectomy! Men think they're stronger than women, but they can't handle shit!

Imagine a man getting an IUD inserted without any anesthesia or numbing? Or even just getting a pap smear?! How would they even handle the smallest of period cramps?

These idiots are so fucking pathetic. Overreacting while pushing a baby out of your body!? Fuck you!

My SIL's baby just turned a year old a month ago, and her husband was being snarky with her and said "It's not YOUR birthday", EXCUSE ME KYLE, I don't remember you pushing a 10lb bowling ball out of your dick, so why don't you just sit the fuck down!

"Hunny, come here." grabs and twists his nuts till he screeches like a little boy "Hush. Stop making a scene."

"When he told me to shush during labour. I had a sudden flash of clarity and I knew I would be raising this baby alone because I deserved better.

I think we all had those flashes of clarity at a point in our lives when we realized someone was very very bad for us and could ruin our lives.

This doesn’t even shock me tbh. Glad she knows that she deserves better though.

My ex husband (other than making me play MTG while in labor) tried to talk me out of getting an epidural because he liked to paint me in some hippie paintbrush bullshit. I labored for 22 hours without any intervention and decided “fuck this, stick that needle into my spine” and you could see the disappointment in my husbands face. I was trembling so horribly from pain and exhaustion they almost didn’t want to give it to me fearing I might bump the needle as it was being inserted.

Anyway, got the juice and my body instantly relaxed. I could drink water without puking. I rested for 20 minutes. Baby was born within the hour.

Men do not deserve their children and wives. They don’t carry them the way women do. They don’t grow them. Women sacrifice for their children and pregnancies (or choice not to maintain them) the minute we know we’re expecting. The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual toll can never be replicated from a father to their children. They can never give a gift to rival to their partners. So few men are worth this sacrifice and gift. So many children deserve a better father. Countless women are better off without their clueless partners. I know I am.

I used to watch “A Baby Story” on TLC. Would see so many husbands tell the woman in labor to “calm down” and “stop screaming-you’re overreacting”. Some would roll their eyes at their wives cries of pain, like you would at someone exaggerating an injury. It made me so angry. I’m grateful that my LVM ex-husband at least had the decency to be supportive during labor.

Moments of clarity, yes!!

I had a few of these. One was when a boyfriend would not touch his tongue to mine. He would French kiss but refused to touch my tongue to his alone without lips. Weird but that was a tipping point

Another told me that he’d rather play board games with his friends than support me on the anniversary of a family members death. That was it for me!

Some men really do reach peak scrote levels of audacity.

bookworm1896 · 2021-09-09T05:51:21+00:00

You should think that the nurses, doctors, etc would knock any man out who has the audacity to shush his wife.

I get the feeling that men cannot grasp birth. They seem to think it's just a nice walk, no problem, just push the baby out. No risk for the mother at all, easy-peasy. That makes me so angry

If my husband had shooshed me during labour, my blood wouldn't have been the only blood spilled.

swatir24 · 2021-09-09T09:56:28+00:00

Any time a guy asks me to calm down or "chill", I lose my shit a little bit more.

BasieSkanks · 2021-09-09T13:17:56+00:00

This is awful. The last example where the woman said her husband allowed her to walk home at 10:30pm when the drive would have taken him 10 minutes round trip was especially heartbreaking. He must not have cared about her at all, and I’m sure this woman realised that on the 30-minute walk home. There’s really not depth to male selfishness and depravity.

This is something my ex would do. Thanks god he kept his sperm for himself.

TeamWaddles · 2021-09-10T00:27:50+00:00

HOW DOES HE DARE TO DO THAT

Honestly, just reading the heading of the article gave me immense violence impulses.

Mamainas · 2022-08-16T05:06:59+00:00

Nice decision.

I had a hookup on Adult Friend Finder who accidentally got me pregnant. It’s a good thing that he was willing to support me and the baby. I thought he was different. But when I was in labor, he asked if I was just overacting with the pain. So there, I ran as fast as I could lol. We are good without you.
