I can’t imagine being in a relationship with this sort of person, let alone having a child with them.

I’m sure this wasn’t the first time they revealed themselves as horrible

A lot of men don’t reveal their true selves until after a baby is born. Once the woman doesn’t have the time or energy for him that she had before. Prior to adding a baby to the mix, the man gets a lot of undivided attention and they often get resentful that that they’re not getting the attention and sex that they did before because babies are a 24/7/365 job with no breaks and they were raised on TV and likely in families where the woman does the bulk of the household work and child care no matter how many hours she works or what hobbies she used to have.

It’s also a lot harder to leave once you have kids because you can’t just stay anywhere or work any shift anymore so that’s the point at which he’s got you locked in because you’re in survival mode for a couple years after giving birth.

Choose better men and actively destroy those that think this way.

Did you miss the part where they show their true selves after the baby is born?

Yeah I missed that. my mistake. You’re right. I apologize for my lack of understanding. I had an emotional response to learning about the subject matter and I had no intention of being rude.
