Husband Tells Wife She Needs to 'Get Over' the Fact that He Missed the Birth of Their Child

"By the time I got to the hospital she has already given birth," the man writes in a post on Reddit

A man is going viral after sharing that he wants his wife to stop bringing up the fact that he missed the birth of their child.

In a post shared anonymously to Reddit, the man writes that he works a job in which he doesn't always have access to his phone, and sometimes finds himself "in the middle of nowhere."

"These times are well scheduled in advance and basically take up my whole day," he writes. "There are a ton safety regulations I have to follow during this time."

During one of these middle-of-nowhere scenarios last year, his wife went into labor.

"I planned to take off work near her due date. Unfortunately she went into labor early (about a month early) and I was on an inspection," he writes in the post. "I only learned about her going into labor when I got signal again. By the time I got to the hospital she has already given birth."

Fast forward a year-and-a-half, and the man says the issue is still brought up during nearly every argument the couple has.

"I am an involved father. The issue is every single time we have an argument she will bring up I missed the birth," he adds. "It happens almost every single time from serious arguments to what fast food should we get."

Now, he writes that he's reached his "breaking point."

During a disagreement about daycare, his wife again brought up that he "wasn't there for the birth."

"I told her she needs to get over that," he writes, adding that his wife then called him "a jerk" and left.

Now, the man wants to know if he was in the wrong.

While most commenters say they understand why he missed the birth — and why he's upset that his wife continually brings it up — many feel that he needs to approach the subject cautiously.

"I wouldn’t have brought it up at that moment, during the heat of an argument," writes one commenter. "I would wait till after things cooled down and talk to her and say how hurtful it is that she keeps bringing that up and that she knows that you had no control over it. If she keeps trying to use it against you, that’d be a more serious conversation."

Still others note that the birth was likely "traumatic" for the poster's wife, and therefore difficult to forget.

"It was probably more traumatic than she wants to admit. It sounds like it was her first child and going into labor a month early is really scary. I did with my first as well, I would have been an absolute mess if my husband wasn't there," another commenter shares.
