Someone PLEASE give these women the emotional strength to ditch these husbands. They'll be a single mom either way - the only question is how much extra s**t they'll have to deal with while doing all the parenting.

Can we acknowledge that pregnancy and the year after delivery there are high rates of mortality in women not just because of the dangerous enterprise but domestic violence and really the rates of murder at the hands of her romantic partner? Can we? Sometimes that gal needs help, real help, and what I read here are signs of that - small signs that he does not see her as a real person.

If these are real....these men should not be fathers. There, I said it.

I found those hard to read. If you do not find it important to support your wife/girlfriend during what can be long, painful, and mentally exausting hours, and if you are not ready to welcome your baby at any time and in any situation and condition, why be engaged in the first place? I do not understand this lack of responsibility and the selfishness. Besides, the behaviour shown above is stupid for one's own sake. Being a father-to-be who goes through the whole, well, labour with as much effort to support and love as possible, may be exhausting but it is also utterly rewarding. Witnessing the first cry of your newborn, cuddling it onto you while the mother gets some rest, feeling the intensity of being there together, and not letting your partner alone when she needed the feeling that she is doing awesome – why would anyone opt to miss that?

Time to just throw the whole guy away!

I recommend divorce and/or mariticide.

What a time to realize you have made a huge mistake that will last you the next 18 years. Man, just had a baby and now you have to go through a divorce, go through child support, custody determinations. But I am assuming these guys said horrible things like this prior to the pregnancy, keep an ear out before you are stuck co-parenting with them.

I say ditch these men and become a single mom. Better to deal with raising one child instead of two.....

I hope these are all EX boyfriends/husbands now

Society needs to have better men. Moms and dads should raise better human beings.

My husband sometimes sucks but thank GOD he never sucked this bad

Disturbing on so many levels! She and baby will have to be with that human (maybe not have to, I sure hope they don't and manage!)

Some classy guys out there. /s

Read about a group of people that had a birthing ritual. Tied a cord around the baby daddy's genitals & gave the end of the cord to the woman giving birth to hold during labor. That way both parents experience childbirth together.

Where I come from, people like to joke that everyone only ever talkes about the pains of child delivery, but no one ever talkes about the pain men suffer during procreation. Poor menfolk. ;)

He reluctantly took me to the ER when I was bleeding heavily (we were at his friend's house and they were having a "good conversation, can't you wait a bit?"). The DOCTOR told him to go home and he'd call when it was over. Bleeding stopped, baby's now 40 years old and I raised him on my own.

I have a sister-in-law who's baby daddy was actively on tinder and nowhere to be found on the night she gave birth to their child. Needless to say they are separated now.

This makes me feel just a teeny bit better about when my mother showed me a picture of her holding my older brother when he was about 10 minutes old. To be fair... I was only six or seven when she showed me... still "wow, your hair's terrible in this picture - and you look so tired!" was perhaps my least tactful remark ever! Poor mum!

I’ve got a good one… my ex left me whilst I was 7 months pregnant for someone he worked for. I was put under so much stress at the end of my pregnancy that I didn’t want him in the labour room with me.. the doctors agreed that was best for me and my baby. My ex comes hurtling through, shouting “look I just want to be here for when he actually comes out, I’m not hanging around, because ****(girls name) is waiting outside and we’re going out to the cinema later”. I have luckily not seen the guy much since and my son (who is now 10) is not keen on really trying to find him either. There’s a lot of douche bags out there.
