Woman Is Planning To Run From Her Husband Immediately After Giving Birth As He Showed His Real Face

Selfishness has no place in any relationship. While the occasional inconsiderate behaviors are tolerable, any behavior that endangers the other person is inexcusable.

The story you’re about to read is about a woman who had to go through a painful childbirth because of her self-absorbed husband. To make matters worse, his actions also put their newborn child at risk.

The author held a grudge against her spouse, so she turned to the internet for answers and support. Be warned, dear readers. This lengthy text contains sensitive and potentially triggering details about domestic abuse and forced intimacy.

No one should ever tolerate a spouse’s selfish behavior, especially when it becomes abusive

There is, unfortunately, a global prevalence of intimate partner violence against pregnant women

The author’s case is sadly just one of the many worldwide cases of intimate partner violence (IPV). According to World Health Organization statistics, the prevalence rate of sexual abuse is between 3%-27%, while emotional abuse is between 25%-49%.

However, the bigger problem lies in the potential health consequences the child may suffer from the violence their mother went through. Some examples include intrauterine growth retardation and preterm labor, as well as high risk of miscarriage and abortion.

Another troublesome statistic is that 92% of abused women choose not to report their situation. Therefore, 77% of patients cannot undergo IPV screening from physicians, according to a report published in the National Library of Medicine.

“Screening for IPV will enable the victim to recognize the problem even if they may not be ready to accept help at that point in time,” an excerpt from the report reads.

Distancing yourself from a toxic marriage must happen as soon as possible

The author is clearly in a toxic relationship with her husband. Experts advise people to distance themselves as quickly as possible in such cases.

According to Florida-based psychotherapist Marni Feuerman, one of the first steps is to cut communication with the partner. But, since the author shares a newborn with her husband, Feuerman recommends limiting the interactions to matters about the child.

Professional help may be the most effective solution. As Feuerman pointed out, recovering from a traumatic experience like abuse will take time and effort.

“A therapist can be a great impartial resource to guide you and hold you accountable for creating and meeting your goals,” she explained in an article for VeryWellMind.

In this story, the author endured an ordeal that put her through more stressful birthing and endangered their child. She has support from the people around her, and keeping her distance from her husband could be her best option.

I hope any person who normally say things like "why don't abused women just leave" can read this and see how it's not just that easy. This OP really shows the manipulation abusers use, and the complete confusion and indecisions those that are abused go through. Even towards the end you can read the indecision and potential of maybe not going through with leaving. It sounds like she has strong support from her brother and SIL, so I hope that's enough to keep her on the definitely leaving side of things. As far as the planned C-section and "doctors push for that". Unfortunately, in the US, there are some OB/GYNs who give mothers the option of a planned C-section just for the mother's own convenience. But they most absolutely do NOT make up pregnancy complication diagnosis in order to push convenience. Telling the OP that was just another manipulation tactic used by abusers.

She may Come from an abusive household and this may well be all she has known her while life. She did mention that her mother never stepped in because she likes the husband so much.... that's a sign that her own mother doesn't have here best interest at heart. Furthermore, the way you stated that leaving an abusive relationship is more straightforward that leaving a cult... Dude! What are you thinking?! That's so dismissive. You really missed the point here. And also... they are two different things... apples and pears.. Hope you read more about the topic but with an open and empathetic mind.

Marital rape is absolutely "a thing". I got to be one of 12 people who confirmed that a few years ago. When the wife testified, she just looked down at her hands the whole time. When her 13-year-old daughter entered the courtroom to testify, she glanced toward her father, stopped in her tracks, and ran away. Her wheelchair-bound little brother testified, though, and he did not hold back. Dude had been beating the boy for having MS in addition to beating and raping his wife. He hadn't been charged with abusing his daughter, and we were instructed to draw no conclusions from the girl's abrupt departure, but the most WTF part was that he had no defense. Like, the prosection rested, then his lawyer stood up and said the defense rests. Dude really thought he'd done nothing wrong and expected to walk out of there. Guilty on all counts, by the way (7, IIRC). So yes, guys like this exist.

That’s one of the things people don’t seem to understand about abusers. 9 times out of 10 they genuinely don’t see anything wrong with what they’ve done. They didn’t “lose their temper” or “make a mistake” (though they'll say things like that to avoid any consequences.) To them, it is their right to treat their spouse and/or children that way. It’s entitlement and self-centeredness in its purest form

"Selfish behaviour"?? Really, BP? This is not selfish, this is abusive. Massive, massive difference, good lord.....🤬

Yeah I agree just another example of poor title wording. Selfish behavior would be something like "wife is heavily pregnant and tired and not feeling well, husband wants take out food and tells her to go drive to pick up some pizza and she goes into labor".
