Alright gentlemen, listen up.

There is no excuse, not one single reason, for you to up and leave while your wife is 8 months pregnant with your child. I do not care what disagreements you have with each other, I do not care what you heard or what new information you learned about her, it can all be addressed after the birth of your child. If not for your wife's sake, then for the sake of the newborn baby you need to raise together.

The woman in this Reddit story ended up rightfully divorcing her husband after he missed the birth of their baby boy. A month before the baby was due, the husband's ex-wife spread lies about his current, pregnant wife, to which the husband decided to believe. This led him to disappear on her, leaving her alone and refusing to answer any of her calls, including while she was in labor.

Keep scrolling to read what happened after she returned home from the hospital. After you are done reading this story, click here for another one about a woman who confronted husband's family after they gossiped about her in her face.

    Less than a month later (he never came back), I went into labor. I didn't want him to miss the birth of our first child so I went as far as calling him from a stranger's phone, but as soon as he realized it was me, he hung up.

    My husband and I (both 26) moved states away for his work last year. It was fine, at first, because I wanted to support him, but immediately, the thought grew inside of me that I had no one there except for him.

    He apologized profusely and pleaded to see our son but I couldn't handle it. I told him to leave the house and that I didn't want to see his face again.

    Now, I moved back home and I served my husband with divorce papers (he never signed them). He desperately wants me to take him back, but I don't know if I want to.

    He broke my trust that day and established where his priorities lie between my son and E. Now that I know where he stands, I don't ever want my son to be mistreated by his own father.

    nirselady 17h ago Not to mention that I would never want to be alone with his daughter again. What other lies would she make up about op? That kind of lie can have massive consequences.

    cthulhusgranny • 17h ago right or if she gets jealous that shes not getting enough affection from dad because hes now splitting time between her and the baby, would she intentionally be cruel to him, lie about him, lie to him, hurt him? shes 9, she should be more than aware that lying is bad

    Aminar14 18h ago • He left his nine months pregnant wife for a month. That's not forgivable. My wife needs help getting off the floor. Off the couch. Etc... He cannot be trusted.

    NoTripOfALifetime • 18h ago What steps has he taken to try to regain your trust and show you that he will never, ever do this again? What were the consequences for his daughter for such a heinous lie?

    Where was he all this time? Who did he stay with? Who did he sleep with? Did he send you money while you waited to give birth to his child? Does he pay child support for his other kid?
