The Final Straw w/ Husband

[bigred009]

I’m done. Today it finally happened. The straw that broke the camel’s back. We were in the living room, baby was on the floor on the mat, husband was sitting next to them. Baby did a big stretch and husband didn’t say “ooo big stretch.” So now I have to leave him. Thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, please.

ETA: y’all I am dying at these responses. I will most definitely throw the whole man away, along with his video games and his mother. My baby and I will seek therapy and heal together from this great slight. Thank you all for your support.

/s in case that wasn’t obvious

@bigred009 I know everyone on Reddit always jumps to divorce & I definitely never ever do that except this one time here where I will.

Sounds like your husband is gaslighting baby by gatekeeping big stretches. He’s definitely a covert narcissist. You need to pack your bags tonight & go full no contact with his entire family, including his parents’ dog.

Delete Facebook, get a lawyer immediately. It’s only a matter of time before baby sneezes & he neglects to gasp with shock & go “oh my goodness!!!!” And is that really something you want to risk putting your child through?

@stayinfaith You forgot to mention it but, OP, your husband is abusing you. You have to leave for the baby.

@stayinfaith including his parents’ dog.

Not the dog too!

 

[stayinfaith]

@happilymarried Clearly he was raised by toxic abusers. Whole family must go.

Honestly OP needs to keep an eye on baby too. Baby has their DNA…. Probably only a matter of time before they’re abusing her too

@stayinfaith This is really good. It covers all the frequent checklists of responses on serious posts.

@stayinfaith My 2yo's phrase of the week is "oh my goodness". It's freaking adorable.

 

[bearjew]

@goodwill Hahaha Mine too! And “goodness gracious”

@stayinfaith Someone has been reading r/amitheasshole. This is a definite red flag.

@bigred009 I am sending baby's father packing tonight. He's been a father for two weeks and I haven't heard a single dad joke . It's time to part ways until he can get it together.

@powerkitejunkie Mine was making dad jokes as soon as I got pregnant!!

 

[4ll4h]

@robert65 Lucky, mine was making dad jokes before we even discussed trying to get pregnant. My eyes hurt from rolling so often lol

 

[pencillead]

@powerkitejunkie You're sure it's his, right?

 

[mikeisthename]

@powerkitejunkie That behavior is appalling. Change the locks and don't let him back in!

 

[katrina2017]

@powerkitejunkie The dad jokes don't always come out naturally. There's some good Udemy courses he can look at if your marriage isn't too far gone.

The REAL test is the Dad Reflexes. If he's missing those, I'm sorry but he might not be the father.

@bigred009 After I read “Baby did a big stretch” I paused and thought “OOOH BIG STRETCH” which is clearly the only proper and expected response!!

 

[hilarry01]

@bigred009 Obviously gaslighting baby into thinking the stretch was not that big. I’d file for divorce immediately lol

 

[godslittlesoldier]

@hilarry01 lmao

@bigred009 My husband keeps calling the pentaceratops toy the triceratops,and he thinks the kentrosaurus is a stegosaurus. I can’t deal with the example he is setting for our child.
