Disagreements are a natural part of having any kind of relationship, but there is a difference between healthy conflict and something that very much isn't that. Unfortunately, getting pregnant and having kids is something that can really exacerbate existing problems in a romantic partnership. 

This is something that one woman found out to her detriment when at eight months pregnant, she had an argument with her husband in the car about the color of baby shoes. In a fit of anger, he made her get out at a gas station and drove off without her. It took two hours for him to come back and pick her up.

When she shared with the internet that this had made her desire a divorce, people were unequivocally on her side. It is not easy to leave a marriage in most situations, let alone when you are about to have a baby as well.

    AITA for wanting to divorce my husband for leaving me (8 months pregnant) at a gas station and driving off? My husband and I have been married for 2 years. He has a habit of stopping the car and telling me to get out whenever we get into an argument - even if it was something so stupid and minor. He said he can't help his short temper and having me get out the car would be him "de-escalating" the situation so he thought it wasn't that bad. When I got pregnant, I told him that he should stop doin

    So we were talking about what we would buy for the baby (we were particulary arguing about what color to choose for the baby's shoes) the other day while we were on our way home from visiting his parents ranch which was a bit far from where we live. He disagreed with me at some point in the conversation and it turned into an argument. He started lashing out verbally, then getting all dramatic arguing til he was blue in the face. Suddenly, the car stopped at a gas station and he told me to get ou

    disbelief. I tried to call my brother (thd only one I know around the area) and it took him a whole TEO HOURS to come get me. I went home and found my husband sitting casually on the sofa watching TV. He seemed calm and relaxed. I lost it on him about what he did, and he defended himself saying he couldn't help himself and that I should let it go. I told him I wanted divorce cause I can't trust him after what he did. He looked so shocked saying I was crazy to want to divorce him "over an argumen

    Stompy the Destroyer @SecurityCeleste Replying to @ask_aubry Follow I wonder if he does that to his boss. Or his friends. His father? Or if it's only his wife who he thinks is so unworthy of his respect.

    A ravenous nanobot... @qzar9999 Replying to @ask_aubry Follow It might have been fine for him to suggest they BOTH get out of the car and maybe go inside the convenience store and not talk for a few minutes until they'd both cooled off. Maybe. But of course, that's not what he did.

    KC @foolrushingin. 1d Replying to @ask_aubry oh my God, she is right to get a divorce. I hope she holds strong, because this man has shown her that he does not consider her at all, only what facilitates him navigating his own emotions.
