A woman in her mid-thirties recently shared a deeply troubling experience on Reddit, detailing her husband\u2019s shocking reaction to the news that they are expecting twins. Having joyfully planned to expand their family, she was met with resistance and despair, leading her to question their entire relationship.<\/p>\n

This is her story.<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a 35-year-old woman married to a 45-year-old man for over 7 years,\u201d she began, explaining that they already have four children. For her husband\u2019s recent birthday, she decided to surprise him with the news of her pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI surprised him with a pregnancy test result that we will be having a 5th child. He seemed to have a meltdown when he heard it, and he said no, it is impossible, we have been careful. I thought he would be happy, as he said it himself when we were dating that he wants a lot of kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The situation escalated during a visit to the gynecologist.<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe doctor says I am 10 weeks pregnant and we are having twins. My husband was livid. He keeps screaming no, no, no, no, no. I lost count of him saying no.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After his meltdown at the doctor\u2019s office, he told me that he just can\u2019t have 6 kids at his age. I got confused about what he is saying, as I know he wanted a big family. He wanted it himself. I cried and told him what we were supposed to do, and he kept saying that he just can\u2019t have 6 kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation took an even darker turn on their way home.<\/h3>\n

\u201cHe says how he should not have gotten married and have kids, and he does not know anymore if his life is worth it, that he\u2019d be happy to have a reset button. I reminded him it takes two to tango, and creating a kid is not just my fault.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The next morning, I woke up with screaming and crying kids begging their father not to go. Turns out he already packed and was ready to go. My 3-year-old is hugging his father\u2019s luggage and crying, and his face is stoic. By then, I knew I was stupid to commit the mistake of marrying him.<\/p>\n

It may be hard as I am pregnant right now, but I got a full-time job, and we do have a nanny and supportive family, and friends. It is best if he goes. I do not need another baby to take care of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Redditors were divided, offering both sympathy and criticism.<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • A real husband would stay and talk to his wife, who is facing exactly the same realization but with also facing the daunting task of carrying those twins inside her too. He\u2019s just run away, not considering anyone else\u2019s feelings, traumatizing his current kids! What a selfish man. Hope the kids take after mom. \u00a9 kirby60 \/ Reddit<\/li>\n
  • You are absolutely right OP, even if he comes back apologizing, he already showed who he is, and who wants to have a person like this by your side? Congrats on the babies. \u00a9 muskito02 \/ Reddit
    \nIt\u2019s his fault really. If he didn\u2019t want to risk 6 kids he should\u2019ve used protection & got a vasectomy. \u00a9 BayouMan2 \/ Reddit<\/li>\n
  • This guy is tired at 45 and just discovered that he\u2019s going to be 63 when his youngest kids are adults. She\u2019s going to be just reaching the age range he\u2019s in now when that happens\u2026 I\u2019m not saying you should leave your family by any means, but man. He\u2019s going through a mental breakdown, he\u2019s not necessarily the devil. \u00a9 dRaven43 \/ Reddit<\/li>\n
  • I have a ton of kids, my first was born when I was 30, the last when I was 43\u2026 I\u2019ll gladly take the downvotes. For me, the prospect of having a baby right now at 46 would be the nail in my coffin. I absolutely, without a doubt, could not do it again. It\u2019s too much. \u00a9 Level-Application-83 \/ Reddit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n
    • So 6 kids is intense, but with that being said any man that leaves his kids is not a man worth keeping in your life. The fact that he walked out in front of them is deranged. \u00a9 Mecharonin_n_please \/ Reddit<\/li>\n
    • Everyone mad at the husband is crazy. 4 kids is already a huge family. There\u2019s way more to this story and I think a guy losing his mind over the fact that he has 6 children especially young twins at 45 is understandable. \u00a9 LeBongJaames \/ Reddit<\/li>\n
    • What a shame\u2026 I am 9 years older than my wife. We didn\u2019t have our first kid until I was 42. Then five years later, we had twins\u2026 I was in my late 40s and now, nearly 10 years later, I realize it is the best thing ever. \u00a9 FantasticTempe \/ Reddit<\/li>\n
    • I disagree. People can have mental breakdowns. It doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ve changed as a person, nor does it mean they\u2019ve been harboring these feelings all along. I would suggest the OP take some time and get some therapy scheduled for herself and her husband before divorcing. \u00a9 alphaomega06** \/ Reddit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
