My husband and I got into a huge argument the other night. He wanted to go on an extended business trip, but I was nearing my labor and wanted him to stay with me so we could be together when our baby was born.
Things escalated pretty quickly, and he decided he would sleep on the couch that night. I was devastated. It was so hard for me to comprehend why he didn’t understand my side of the story. But he was insistent and there was nothing I could do about it.
The argument continued over the next few days, with things getting more intense. I tried to explain, but he wouldn’t listen. He just kept saying that he would lose his job if he didn’t go on the trip, but never said why it was such an important thing for the company.
Then one night I was struggling to fall asleep and just laid in bed with my eyes closed. My husband came into the room and knelt down next to me. He wiped my hair away from my face and whispered, “I should never have gotten you pregnant. It has turned you into a monster.”
I was devastated. He always said he wanted us to have a baby together, but now it seems that was the biggest regret of his life. I spent the next few days thinking about what he said and wondering if I had really changed during my pregnancy.
It’s really difficult for me to tell. Yes, there were days when I was overly emotional or annoyed. And I did ask him to get me stuff when I had severe cravings. But aren’t those things normal?
I sat down with him last night and asked him if he really meant what he said. He told me that I had been unbearable over the last few months, and he just wants it to end. He confessed that there was no work trip; it was just an excuse so he could get away from me.
Now I’m at a loss. My husband is considering a divorce. What can I do to stop things from going too far?
