Before she finally became pregnant, the woman had struggled for six years to conceive. She decided to tell her partner the happy news on his 30th birthday because she was very excited about it.
However, she was stunned by his unexpected reaction.
The 26-year-old woman and her partner had been together for ten years and had talked about starting a family.
The online community criticized her husband and expressed their concerns in the comments after she shared her story on Reddit. A month later, she gave the Redditors an update on her encounter with him.
The original poster (OP) had been feeling unwell for a few days, but her hectic work schedule prevented her from seeing a doctor.
When she finally made it to her doctor’s appointment on the morning of her partner’s birthday, she couldn’t help but think about his celebration.
After the doctor checked her vital signs and asked some questions, he informed her that she was pregnant.
She kept the news to herself until she got home, thinking it would be the perfect surprise for her partner. She was overjoyed to learn she was pregnant after years of trying.
But when she returned home, her lover was deeply engaged in a conversation with one of their friends. She pulled him aside to share the news and have some privacy, but he didn’t listen to her.
She couldn’t contain her joy and told everyone she was pregnant, even though he asked her to wait.
She was shocked by his intense reaction, in which he said it was supposed to be about him and accused her of ruining his day.
The user posted on Reddit about how her partner broke up with her and then confessed to seeing another woman ten days later.
Remarkably, he made her an offer to persuade her to have an abortion, but she refused. He gave her two weeks to find a new place to live.
According to the person, her partner had no interest in getting married, as he said, “Marriage is something people need to prove their love.”
She claimed he had prevented her from attending college because it was several hours away from their home.
She added that the experience had taught her to stand up for herself instead of being a “doormat” for others, but many around her found this realization disturbing.
“Some people have said that I have changed from the ‘sweet innocence’ they knew before this whole incident,” the poster added.
Most Redditors sympathized with OP and held her partner responsible. They believed he shouldn’t have pretended to want a child with her.
