A few of us don't think this update was written by the same person. Curious what your thoughts are?

​@butterflyinflight85 I started to be so relieved...and then I realized there was NO mention of the baby. 👀 Maybe she kept it vague for her safety, but it's kinda odd.

For the second story, in my country, if a husband comes to all the pregnancy appointments and takes charges during the appointments, it gets flagged as a potential abusive relationship.

[@MI75436]

What country is that?

[@FukaiKokoro]

Which is weird it really dependson each situation. My husband would go to appointments with me to help me advocate for myself. I have anxiety and sometimes have a hard time remembering everything I wanted to talk about during an appointment. I once went to a gyno and she was horrible. Got nasty and mean towards my husband for speaking up and making sure I remembered everything etc. She treated him like he was a abuser. It was horrifying. So the only way that rule should work is situational. I'd be pissed if she reported my partner for being a sweet guy helping me because I asked him too.

[@annecal2545]

​@@FukaiKokoro flagged not reported. They would then look for other signs or try and get you alone to ask about it.

​@MariaIrbis England might be similar for other countries in the UK, too.

[@Thebiggerbox]

​@@FukaiKokoro You get to choose your doctor, we don't here. If there is an issue you write a formal complaint and you get someone new. As I said it gets flagged if they think there is a potential of abuse, they would ask more questions once they get you alone. On matters like mental health they address that and offer more help too.

(Update below!) 39:25 Need another example of the husband being controlling? Remember OP said at the beginning that she couldn’t post this on her main account, because her SIL follows her and she would report back to her husband… 😳 Sounds like a family of psychos. I’m scared for OP UPDATE: OP LEFT HIM!! 🥳 She doesn’t give a lot in the update, but she does specifically state “I am safe, and I am free”. She’s moving out of the city and going to start over. She says she’ll be processing a lot of this for years to come and thanks the Reddit comments that helped her see through the haze, but aside from that, doesn’t give much detail. From OP: “If you read my story, and you relate to it in anyway, or you too feel smothered, voiceless, and alone every single day locked in the house with someone who is supposed to love you, ! just want you to know what I now know. That isn't normal. That isn't what life is supposed to be. There are people you can rely on and strangers can be your best friend. The cost may be steep, but the cost to stay is so much more. Farm this post for all of the comments and support available. I pass it on to you and beg you to use what resources you can find. The sheer volume of personal messages I received from people in the same boat, people sharing support, people checking in to make sure I was okay... There's such a community here and they will help you before you even realize you need it. I'm not sure whats next and that's terrifying but also refreshing. I haven't had that in so many years. Thank you.”

Story 1: My husband & I handle emergencies very differently. He comes from a family that the sky is always falling. I was raised by military & first responders parents who access, act, then debrief. And we realised this when a drunk driver crashed into the back of our house on the 4th of July in 2020. We heard & felt a boom. I walked out the back door to see what it was & saw the mess & smelt gas. I turned back & told him call 911 tell them that a car has crashed into our house, gas is leaking from somewhere & fireworks are about to start, & I cannot access the driver due to unstable structure. He just started freaking out & not calling 911. I just pushed past him & called. Then I did get the driver out also getting his keys & ID bc he was so drunk. I took pictures & video. It was a long night. Once I sat down for the night i broke down & that is where my husband is the best. I am a sprinter but he helps out with the extend parts of emergency

Story 1: I’ve gotta comment and say as a firefighter - most structure fires are actually extinguished by the people there when it happens! It’s called “first attack firefighting” and is when someone contains it with a fire extinguisher. House fires spread extremely quickly, so I can’t fault OP for trying to contain if they felt confident they could do so. The blanket rule of “wait for the professionals” and “don’t do that without supervision” isn’t a good one, considering so many can be put out very easily with an extinguisher. Of course, if it’s big, just leave, but OP and sister definitely didn’t do anything wrong by trying to extinguish, especially if it helped their chances of escaping (less fire = less toxic smoke usually)

[@DiMagnolia]

[@joevictor53]

​@@melissamartinez2709totally agree. I thought that was a dumb statement by Morgan. I've put out a couple of fires and both times, they were able to be put out without any real damage being caused. If we'd all just left like she said, it could've led to actual damage and a full blown fire by the time we called the firefighters and they came.

[@monicacurtis3986]

Story 2: I've given birth both vaginally and via C-section. I vividly remember the crowning and those last pushes. The "easy part" husband is referring to felt like I was being sliced in half by a James Bond villain, and I had an epidural! If OP has "the honor of being pregnant", then she also has the honor of calling the shots. Also, shame on those doctors who ignore OP the second husband says he's a doctor!

No kids here, but I completely agree with you. I can't imagine having my hormones rocked and being in an appointment where my Dr's don't bat an eyelash at me because my hubby speaks their language.

[@HayleySulfridge]

Same!! I had an epidural and i was SQUIRMING in the bed shouting “it hurts it hurts it hurts i feel it it hurts”. And i had what they called the “perfect” epidural. I couldn’t feel the contractions, but i could move my legs and feel the birth. People forget that it typically treats the contractions, not the crowning

The fact that they missed it means they contributed NOOOO MONEY to the wedding. OP tried to talk to them about this major event she was doing and her mother did not care. They were all formally invited and they did not answer. She then followed up with a text to confirm and they left her on READDD. OP discussed the wedding openly in front of family + mom and her mother still did not care. The original post was bad the clarifications are even worse. Now the UPDATE well said!

Now that we know his family didn't say that and it was him actually, did he mean it is an honor being pregnant with his child?

10000%. I work in the medical field, specifically with doctors directly (surgical FA). Most of the doctors I work with are lovely people, but something about having all those accomplishments can really turn a person rotten and the worst people I’ve also met happen to be doctors. A lot of these bad doctors will do everything to have control, including extreme control in a relationship. He likely targeted her because of her lack of support.

[@purpl3loverz]

Story 4 in my opinion was more hurtful than yall are taking it. If my husband told me he didn’t like my b**bs or v*gina I don’t know how I could get over that. And I wouldn’t just file for divorce that day or go to counseling. I think I would be going through my days and remember that comment and be hurt again but try to get over it. He can never do anything about his size and his wife practically saying she doesn’t like to have s*x with him is something that can ruin their marriage. I would think Morgan would understand this better because she has mentioned she struggles with self confidence. Just image your fiancée saying he didn’t like your body? How does counseling even help to heal that??

[@lonnyworthamii9805]

I feel like this is super obvious. And everyone is just ignoring it. That comment isn't just a comment. Criticisms about things you can't change live rent-free in your head for the rest of your life. That particular one will actively attack his self-perceived ability to please, not just women, but his wife in specific. That's an absolute bomb dropped in your marriage. Additionally, without knowing the people involved, we don't know how large an insecurity this is for him. And that can change the entire context of the comment. There are people with decent relationships with their fathers who if told "you're just like him" will take that with a grain of salt. But others who have a fear of becoming the man who abused their mom and made their life a living hell. It affects their opinions on fatherhood, their ability to commit and their self-image. If you told that same guy the "you're just like him" because you got heated in a fight it would utterly destroy him and the relationship. The wife was in a position to know this was the sort of comment that would hurt her husband because she knows him better than we internet strangers do. She likely knew it was a source of insecurity which is why she used it to be petty and hurtful. I'm willing to believe she had no idea how much of an insecurity it was. But that doesn't change the damage done. There is no set amount of pain that belittling an insecurity causes. If someone is a little insecure it might be a kick to the shin. If someone is VERY insecure it could be a direct hit from an atomic bomb. Considering his response it seems like its more the latter than the former. That means it wasn't a small offense, regardless of how some other guys might have taken it. If you go for the soft-spots in your partner's skull you're the asshole, 100% of the time.

The only thing that I could say is that, if he wasn’t a huge douche lord in every other aspect, and he just genuinely wanted to catch the baby why is that the worst thing in the world? I as a pregnant woman totally get that “everything should be my way” but it takes two to make and raise a baby, why are his wants and needs not also a semi factor to her? If my husband was a doctor and wanted to be there the entire time then just catch our baby and be the one to place it on my chest I would think “oh my god what a special way for that to happen” But this guy is a dick in general and controlling.

@@kittykat8177 I said make and RAISE a child. But at the end of the day the point of my comment was that, if you are married and that person is your partner and this man WAS NOT an ass in every other aspect, why would him wanting to catch his own child and having that want and dream 1000% trumped just because she carried the baby? I am 30 weeks pregnant. My husband hasn’t asked for anything like that but if he did I would atleast consider it. But again this is all contingent on the man in this story not sucking. But this is his kid too, he may not be pushing it out, but why is it wrong for him to want to be holding her hand until the baby physically comes out and be the one to place it on his wife’s chest. One would think in a healthy scenario between the couple that would be a beautiful bonding moment, IF the dad wanted to do that. Yes I am a woman who’s pregnant who doesn’t believe the entire world bend to my whim just because I decided to have a baby. It’s insane I know, but it’s really not that deep.

Dr Baby Daddy - when I was in labor with my first son and there was debate about something, my doctor and nurse told me there is no debate, they go by mom’s decisions. Only this poor girl has got to get control over Dr. Ego, who is not an OB/GYN.

[@sparksflylove]

All medical doctors are taught how to deliver a baby (in a very broad way) but this isn’t some emergency and it’s not like there’s no one else who can do it, so he should definitely NOT be involved in anything besides holding his wife’s hand. I say this as someone in the medical field. I don’t know a single doctor that would behave the same way, so it’s not a doctor problem, it’s a HIM problem.

Story 4: there are just some things you don't say to someone you love..once you say things you can't take them back no matter how many times you say you didn't mean it. In a disagreement the goal is to come to a resolution, not hurt your husband/wife. People keep seeing their partners as the enemy and that will never make sense to me. On the other hand, you either forgive and move on or get divorced if you can't move past it. It's just torture for everyone involved to keep punishing her.

[@raventolliver4316]

I’m truly floored that they said this husband was overreacting. It seems they failed to understand why what she said to the husband is not just some surface level insult. If someone I loved and trusted said this to me, I’d be in shock over the question of whether or not my partner wants to be with me. Do they even desire me? Do they actually enjoy sex with me? How long has she been sitting with this dissatisfaction? What else doesn’t she like about me? To me, this is a glaring signal of how much people in general have normalized speaking horribly to the people they love, and writing it off, as if we should not take it seriously, rather than examining the implications of a persons decision to insult you, especially unprovoked. If she was some random lady, I could agree that this was an overreaction. But it’s his wife of eight years. If she can’t be adult enough to avoid saying things like this, and pause a conversation if she’s getting so heated, then how can he feel safe communicating with her?

[@Ecanbee]

The awful, wedding-missing parents story actually made me cry. That is so awful and hurtful and my heart just broke for OP.

They both sounded toxic already, I was ‘everybody sucks’ from the beginning. I think he is at least realizing that their relationship is unhealthy because he didn’t have to include the parts about him saying stuff, it feels like a revelation. They might not be bad people, it could just be that they use each other as punching bags and it wasn’t until one hit a big insecurity that the realization kicked in. Also, that sister talking about a “prettier wife” is giving toxic too, so it might be a family trait to just insult people. If I had a bother and he told me this, my advice would have been you both need therapy, not ‘well she’s 5 anyways, upgrade time’.

Tbh if that dog can sneak out of the yard and possibly be in harms way, the dye might actually have helped prevent the dog from being potentially snatched if it happened to sneak out

[@diamcole]

S1: This one is tough for me. I grew up in a family where being incredibly reactionary and extreme/intense emotions were common. Bad situations were almost always made ten times worse because of the added stress and panic from everyone essentially playing emotional bumper cars. I would try and talk to my fiancé and express concerns (i.e wondering how she would handle an accident with future children - drowning, burns, a car accident, etc.) but it would 100% be something that worried me. The fear and panic from her made sense, I also think his hesitations are valid. They teach children not to run or scream while heading for the nearest exit for a reason.

[@Reverse_Cat_Cowgirl]

I'm torn, too. Plus, I think him saying she made more danger for them is a stretch. It's more like an annoyance. She didn't ask you to put yourself in any more danger than you were already willing to do.

[@Aquaphor351]

I personally think he sounds like an idiot. When you think about it, both of them are having reactions to certain stimuli, right? Her: has a panicked reaction to something sudden and alarming happen. Him: has a panicked reaction to a really normal and realistic scenario, even after having had time to think about it and digest it. I think that makes him look like a fool. Yes, his fiancée panicked, and yes, he can want her to do better in future emergenies - but none of us truly know how we're going to react in a sudden emergency. And for him to be like "sHouLd i eNd iT? wiLL sHe eNdaNgEr oUr fUtuRe kiDs?" makes him seem beyond idiotic to me. Men love to categorize women as hysterical children who can't be taught anything and must be handled. For him to not even consider just having a calm conversation with her about her reaction and how he'd like her to practice emergency situation preparedness, and assume that she WILL understand and learn - and immediately jump to "Should I end it?" - makes him seem more hysterical and prone to overreacting than her. If he can't even handle attempting to handle his fiancée panicking in a legitimately panic-worthy situation, then he has no business getting married. Marriage has to endure MUCH harder things than this issue. That's just how I see it.

[@diamcole]

@@Reverse_Cat_Cowgirl I think his concern was that she wasn't doing anything but panicking. Panic spreads and yes, it can definitely make situations more dangerous. I don't think she's a horrible person at all or even annoying but honestly, I'd probably be questioning things too if I were him. Seems like an issue of compatibility instead of someone being at fault.

[@diamcole]

@@Aquaphor351 Exactly why I think they're better off breaking up now. I don't think he's wrong or an idiot for wanting to build a life with someone who handles emergencies calmly instead of unintentionally escalating them - that's 100% me for the reasons I stated in my original comment. I also don't think she's wrong for panicking or reacting the way she did. Is it scary? Absolutely. Could you die? Hell yeah. She's human and she reacted. Marriage absolutely has to endure much harder things than this but the same way you're questioning whether he'd run at the drop of a hat, I'm questioning if she has the emotional bandwidth to handle those challenges as they come. Or will she panic? No one knows how they'd react when something horrible happens but once you see it, I can't say it's unreasonable for that new information to possibly shift things for you. If talking things out doesn't bring resolution or understanding, I personally think you're better off parting amicably than trying to point the finger.

[@Reverse_Cat_Cowgirl]

​@@diamcoleI hope they can at least talk about what happened in a constructive way, or else she might become traumatized and become worse during a situation like that. I say it's more of an annoyance because they clearly could have left the house but he wanted to put it out.

[@jiuada]

For Story 1: I can kinda understand OP’s perspective. If you got the ick that bad to the point you don’t want to marry her anymore, maybe the feeling weren’t that strong to begin with. Like Justin said, they might not get through other trials and tribulations that come with being committed for life. I also wonder if they would be talking about it differently if the genders were swapped; if OP was a girl appreciating her brother for being assertive and level-headed while OP’s fiancé shrieked that they were all gonna die.

[@mrdavman13]

100% they would’ve said leave that man

[@Cmf748]

Story 4: I do think the wife’s comment was uncalled for, for the reasons given like you can’t un-say words, and that isn’t something he can change. However, she did immediately apologize and make several efforts (it sounds like) to right the wrong. He did say that it was in the heat of the argument and sometimes you say things you would otherwise filter out. Yes, she has probably had that thought, but maybe she is fine with it (hence the 8 year marriage) but just knew it would bother him during the argument and didn’t think of potential long term damage from that comment or that a single comment could ruin their marriage. Given his nuclear reaction to this comment, I think there is a LOT of context and history omitted from OP. Like you said, it would be interesting to hear the wife’s side because there are so many AITA posts where at first it’s like “oh totally NOT TA” but then you hear the other side and its like … woah, with all that context now added…. Yes, YATA.

[@victjsofjsmdngor]

i don’t think it’s possible to ever recover from that, at least not quickly, but the first step into breaking that barrier is just talking about it. the context the wife chose to say it-which was completely unrelated-shows that it has been on her mind and she really believes it, but staying silent for that long and not talking about it with her is not going to solve anything. again, i think people are underestimating how long that would take to recover from, but if it really is a big insecurity of his, they should just break it off and not make each other suffer
