Pregnant Wife Refuses To Go to ‘Disengaged’ Husband’s Birthday Dinner Because He Wants Her To Take Their Child Home Early, Prioritizing Partying Over Family

Nothing's worse than being in a marriage with a man who has seemingly checked out. A commenter under this story posted on Reddit writes, "Sounds like a disengaged guy". Feeling like a single mother when you are living under the same roof as the father of your child is rough. You might start wondering what you did to him that influenced him to act this way, but it's usually not you. Some individuals don't know they are not cut out for parenthood until it's too late and baby number two is on the way. The best way to combat this kind of circumstance is to be honest with them and yourself, and don't allow yourself to be treated like a doormat. We ladies deserve better than that.

The original poster (OP) of this story is a mother of one with another baby on the way. Her husband's birthday is coming up, and he asked her to take their child home early so she can take care of them and put them to bed. This wouldn't be an issue normally, but the OP expresses he's been checked out since the beginning of her second pregnancy. He's only gone with her to one of many ultrasounds, voluntarily picks up shifts on the weekend instead of spending time with their child, and refuses to prepare their new baby's nursery before they're born. She decides to put her foot down.
