My guy, if you think that’s not the case, you 1) need to get out more, and 2) need to talk to women and medical professionals more. It happens more in some places and less in others, but there’s not a country on earth where it’s not a regular occurrence even where it’s not the majority.
And there are definitely lots of places where this is close to 100%.
They won't be able to. The amount of negative bullshit people are willing to believe when it's about men is astonishing.
Edit: reddit is so predictable, look u/whistleridge can have all the time in the world, and they won't be able to come up with the data because it's misandrist nonsense not based in reality. To every single one of you downvoting, I hope you all can get better and rejoin the rest of us in reality.
That’s so sad. My mum was a midwife for 40yrs. Mainly in SCBU tbf but always said this kinda trope is very over played. Maybe locational? She worked in Birmingham followed by Northallerton, North Yorkshire.
Christ that is so depressing, I was there for every second of my wifes 25 hour labour on our first and was disgusted when they cut the cord on our second without telling me as I wanted to be as present and involved as possible. I don't get why people are like this.
Why are these women having babies with men they know are losers. No way that behavior manifests for the first time in the birthing room, if you date a loser you can’t expect anything but a loser.
"Why do so many men end up with women who cheat and manipulate them? And then they drag them in the divorce?
Why are these men falling for these losers? No way that behavior manifests for the first time years into the marriage."
It's almost like yes, people can be nice when they're trying to get you locked in, and then behavior deteriorates over the years. This is documented. And yeah, there are early signs, but when 90% of the time things are great, people make excuses for the 10%...especially when the internet is full of quotes like, "The grass is greener where you water it," and "Relationships take work, you can't just walk away any time there's a problem."
And finally, humans are all culminations of their experiences, and some people have grown up with terrible examples of "normal." This is evidenced by the comment that started this chain, who thinks men being total losers is normal.
Humans, emotions, and relationships can be complex. Maybe quit being judgy and understand it's not that simple.
When I gave birth I shared a recovery room with 4 other women. The woman next to me had been in labour a while. Her partner dipped out during it and went and cheated on her with her friend which we all learned about through a loud fight through the thin curtains that separated us when he returned. So in my experience it’s 1 in 4. /s
It probably is very common. Stereotypes aren't born in a vacuum. The terrible concept of 'Husband Stitch' exists and is still done apparently, if the scuttlebutt is true (I have no direct knowledge with it).

This is NOT common.
