In the original audio of the video the pregnant woman slaps the husband after he says this. It's a joke about how during labor there's alot of high emotions and stress that the mother to be is experiencing and how such a situation can be awkward for the nurses in the room to be involved in.

I was assuming something in that regard. The woman is in an extreme amount of pain and her hormones are going wild. Having a man, who often can't even deal with a normal flue, say "It's ok, you can do this" can trigger a lot of aggression coming out. (Especially because we sometimes lash out at people we consider safe in high stress situations)

How is trying to encourage your wife wrong? And why are you assuming her husband can't handle a normal flue? Also, how does this have anything to do with giving birth? I feel like you're making a lot of assumptions here.

There's nothing wrong with trying to encourage your partner while they need you. If anything, it should be normal and encouraged in my opinion.

I know you aren't really smart. But "Delivering a Baby" doesn't mean she's working for UPS

Good lord, do you have issues.

Do you own 15 cats and think every man wants to attack you, by any chance?

Why do you feel the need to insult me?
I was simply asking a question.

Clearly you've got the mental maturity of a baby or you wouldn't be throwing a tantrum over someone challenging your views.

You also didn't answer my question. Not used to having to explain yourself i take it?
