‘I packed a bag, called my sister, and left’: New mom leaves husband after giving birth because he failed to support her, and instead, claimed she was overreacting about her exhaustion

Many men look at pregnancy like it's a walk in the park. Sure, it takes two to tango to get pregnant in the first place. That doesn't mean that they're the ones carrying the little one for nine months, craving who knows what, and dealing with back pain, nausea, among other common pregnancy side effects. Women are inherently strong and biologically made up of anatomical mechanisms to help them deal with pregnancy, but it's not an easy road. Then, when everything comes to a head, they can be in labor from two minutes to two days, waiting to give birth to their special baby and hold them in their arms.

Supporting your pregnant partner could prove difficult as well, but it's definitely in a different way. Giving all of your support to them might cause you to forget about supporting yourself, which leads to intense periods of burnout. So, it's important to find a balance. What that does not mean is telling your wife post-labor that you are more tired than her. In my humble opinion, that seems a bit tone deaf.
