My wife uses her pregnancy as an excuse to get out of things

An expectant father complained to his friends that his wife was using her twin pregnancy as an excuse to get out of the affair. Of course, that has now been taken down.

It should come as no surprise that he is in trouble, so he has taken to the internet to ask whether he was really wrong to tell his friends what he thought and whether he was completely cheating on his wife.

“She wants to be pampered all the time”

“The fact is that since she became pregnant, she has been difficult and demanding and constantly wants to be pampered,” the man wrote in his post.

“It doesn’t bother me much because that’s what I signed up for, but I work full time and have a lot on my plate.

“Not only am I taking care of her, but I'm also taking care of my sick grandmother. That makes it difficult to do not only everything I did, but also most of what she did before she got pregnant.”

The man says she is “only” four months pregnant… but she is also having twins.

“Some things make sense, like things that involve a lot of heavy lifting or things with chemicals, but I think simple things like running to the post office, doing a load of laundry or grocery shopping she should still be able to do because she's not ready yet.

“I know having twins makes a difference, but from what I've read, she still seems to be doing less than normal. That makes me feel like she's not helping as much as she could.”

He leaked all this to his friends and one of their partners told his wife. Of course, the man defended himself and blamed the source of the leak.

He asked if it was wrong to vent his anger about his wife to his friends, or if he should have accepted it for the sake of his wife's feelings?

“No empathy”

The commentators of the post were extremely dissatisfied with the man’s attitude.

“If you really think she's acting, talk to her about it or just tell her she has to do it herself; don't complain about it behind her back,” one said.

“But unless you catch her doing things she says she can't do, I think you should let go of the idea that you or your self-appointed advisors know better than she does about what it's like to go about her day-to-day life in the body.”

Another added: “She's in her second trimester with twins, which means a lot of things are changing in ways that aren't visible but can be painful. And now you've shown her that A. she can't trust the person she's having these babies with to not talk bad about her behind her back, and B. that you think her feelings don't matter.”

Embarrassingly (for the man, brilliant for the reader), it later turned out that the woman was actually working, which was simply an unexpected plot twist.

“OMG and she's still working!” wrote one shocked person. “Ohhhh poor little man has to do what his wife managed to do without complaining.”
