I told my husband that I might be expecting a baby, and I didn’t expect that reaction.

What characteristics are important for each woman when choosing a life partner? Kindness, honesty, respect, intelligence and so on. He is also a responsible parent in the future. After all, every marriage implies the possibility of a common child. Therefore, women need exactly the person in whom they will be completely confident. Previously, Galina did not doubt her choice, but now she does not know what to do better.



When Galina saw 2 stripes on her test, the ground seemed to have gone from under her feet. She and her husband were not planning a baby. Not now. But if the baby is already there... The young woman panicked. She didn't want to call her husband with the news. He was at work, and on the phone to report it is not quite right. Instead, Galina went to the pharmacy and bought a few more tests. Maybe this one was wrong.



Peels She didn't even think of getting checked out today. On one of her few weekends, Galina bought the test for nothing. It was like someone told her to do it and she listened. Very quickly, Galina walked home with a plastic bag packed with pregnancy tests.

When the husband, Valentine, returned home in the evening, he found not the most cheerful picture. Galina was anxious. She was sitting on the couch and trying to watch TV, but she wasn't very good at it. As soon as she heard the sound of the door opening, she was in the hallway. She was scared to tell the news now. So Galina decided first to wait for Valentine to eat and relax.



An hour later, Galina asked her husband:

- Honey, what would you say if I was pregnant?

He looked at her.

- Why do you ask?

Instead of answering, Galina went to another room and returned with a strip of dough. Valentine looked at her and then picked her up.

- Are you sure? he asked.

Galina nodded.

- I made another 6 grand. And all positive.

- Well, that's great, Valentine cheered up. - I'm glad. And you?

- Undecided yet, Galina smiled, and the young people embraced.



Peels – Only here you will not give birth, said Valentine. Go to your parents and stay with your baby for up to a year. And I will work twice as much for our family.

- You mean "parents"? What's worse for me here with you?

- What good is sitting on a removable pregnant woman? It’s better in your home and there will be more help. You're gonna sit there quietly, and I'm gonna think about how we'd better settle down here.

The tears and cries of Valentine’s Word did not inspire confidence in Galina. Her parents lived in another city, and the prospect of carrying and giving birth to a child away from her loved one did not like her at all. Does he really care that much? Or is he a coward?

For some time, the couple argued why Galina should return to her parents’ apartment. And what Valentine kept saying only oppressed her. How could he do that to her? What about the baby? Does he not want to be around his own child?



Peels She asked these questions over and over again, and in response heard dry arguments about savings and earnings. He didn't hear her, but Galina didn't want to hear Valentine. She expected anything but that reaction. When I'm kind of happy, but from afar. Why do you need a father like that for her child? A responsible parent must be close to their son or daughter.

Galina could not sleep for a long time. While Valentine slept, she sat in the other room crying. Calm down, returned to the bedroom and fell asleep. And the next day she cried again. She tried to talk to Valentine, but he did not give up on his plan.

Solutions - Why do I need you if you do not need us?! - Galina shouted and cried again. For her, Valentine seemed to be a negative reflection of himself. So when you swore to me in love and told me that we would always be together, did you lie? You liar! Coward and liar!



At the time, Valentine agreed to spend the night in the living room. Galina could not sleep next to him, knowing his attitude towards her pregnancy. If his opinion does not change, it is possible that Galina will return to her parents. But only as a divorced woman.

Responsible Parent – Does Valentine’s Reaction Prove He’s Not Ready to Become a Parent? Can his view be interpreted as an escape from duty? Is Galina doing the right thing by withdrawing from her husband?
