Published on October 15, 2019, a Reddit post sparked a heated debate about relationships and parenthood. A 31-year-old man, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared his story of how his wife, 29, fell pregnant despite their mutual agreement not to have children.
According to the man, he and his wife had always used condoms and she had been on birth control since she was 14. However, when they recently ran out of protection, he proceeded with the deed, unaware that his wife had stopped taking her birth control pills for at least a few months.
When the man discovered he was pregnant, he felt 'betrayed' and 'shocked' by his wife's actions. He expressed his desire to divorce her if she's not willing to get rid of the baby, and to be honest, he might divorce her anyway due to the 'crap she pulled with the birth control.'
Many users on Reddit commented on the post, with some telling him he has every right to leave his wife but can't dictate what she does with the baby. One user said, 'This is a pretty life-changing level of deceit on your wife's part and doesn't say much for her or her character, honestly.'
Another user stated, 'Not wrong. She seems to have tricked you into becoming a dad.'
