In this situation, a pregnant woman expressed her frustration on Reddit about her husband’s prioritization of his mother over her during her pregnancy. The husband, who is described as a “momma’s boy,” chose to spend more time with his mother than with his pregnant wife, even stating that his mom comes before her. The wife, feeling neglected and unsupported, reached out for advice.
The breaking point came when the husband left the wife alone during their anniversary to spend time with his mother. The wife confronted him, suggesting that his mother might as well be carrying their child if he continues to prioritize her over his wife.
After seeking advice on Reddit, the consensus was that the wife had a right to expect more support from her husband during her pregnancy. Many suggested communication with the husband to understand his perspective and the dynamics of his relationship with his mother. Some even recommended giving the husband an ultimatum if the situation didn’t improve.
In a follow-up, the woman expressed gratitude for the support she received on Reddit and mentioned considering giving her husband an ultimatum to address the issue. She also contemplated divorce if her husband and mother-in-law didn’t change their behavior.
The husband, upon realizing the severity of the situation, promised to make amends and stop prioritizing his mother over his wife. The wife considered discussing the matter with her mother-in-law, stating that if her behavior didn’t change, she would limit visitation rights to her grandchild.
