There is no way someone who will leave when you're giving birth to smoke weed and sleep wouldn't have shown that kind of extremely selfish uncaring and lazy behavior before. It would totally be your fault for choosing to have a baby with a clearly underdeveloped man like that. Women are not all stupid children that can't judge a person's character.
It's very common for men to hide this until they are assured their partner will never ever leave - that milestone is often either marriage or the first baby
It's not a conscious decision necessarily, a switch to "now I own you"
Some have had the most loving, considerate, attentive partner turn into someone who beats them on the night of the wedding.

This a very online or fantasy novel opinion, not founded in any sort of reality.
Can someone hide their personality for weeks? Sure. For months? Maybe. Can they hide it when living together for years? No one is keeping up an act for that long. Also to think that it's common to run into complete psychopaths that would even think like that is also absurd.
"Some have had the most loving, considerate, attentive partner turn into someone who beats them on the night of the wedding"
Anyone who would say that happened to them are either lying or delusional. No one is a perfect partner for years and then just switches to being an abusive maniac overnight, mental illness aside. They either chose to look past those traits/warning signs early on or are coping after the fact.
If you truly think what you said is reality, you should never date a man since it's evidently a total coin flip that you have no control over whether or not you end up with an abusive relationship.
I don't think it is unusual for people to only exhibit certain behavior under "rare" circumstances.
People are often even surprised at their own feelings and behavior in extreme situations, so I don't think its reasonable to expect others to always be able to reliably predict how another person will behave in all future situations.
Its incredibly common for someone close to you to start behaving very differently than you expected when faced with situations like emergencies, serious personal health issues, becoming disabled or disfigured, someone close to them having serious health issues or becoming disabled or disfigured, death of someone close to them, moving away, career changes, breakups, life transitions like graduation, marriage, parenthood, aging, etc. etc.
I think people often like to believe that they would be able to tell somehow, and others who couldn't tell were just being stupid, because it's a very comforting lie that makes you feel like you're in control of the outcome and prevents you from having to face and accept the terrifying reality that you really can't know everything, life is very unpredictable, and things you have zero control over can happen to you. 🤷🏻
