For my birth my Dad sat in the corner, wide eyed, unblinking, intently reading his book.
Except he never turned a page and the book was upside down 😂
He’s a big guy tall and burly. His wedding ring looks like a baby bracelet. But he can’t handle people being in distress or pain at all he just shuts down, pure freeze mode.
My mother showed me the medical records and a nurse had written in the margin “husband is a giant marshmallow!”
Of all the responses to that previous response, this is the best one. She/He did nothing wrong and did what they could to remain stable... it's not like he left. He was there and ready for anything, no matter how stressful it was It's have been worse if, in the previous comment, he had left.
