My wife and I have 2 grown kids. I never would have dreamed of cheating on her when she was pregnant, after the kids were born, or at any other time. Being a dad has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life. These guys who cheat on their pregnant partners are shallow jerks in my opinion.
👏 👏 It’s funny isn’t it? You can understand that clearly this is a more widespread problem than we might originally think, but you do also wonder if you have to be a certain type of person to be able to go through with it. I don’t know the answer! So many people have messaged me saying men they THOUGHT they knew completely changed after having a child. Where they were once entirely turstworthy, they became the opposite.
Hard to believe that any man would bail on his own child! Being a dad is so damn rewarding - but then again I had an awesome dad, so I knew what I was getting into (sort of). But I’m just a fiercely loyal person in general, and my wife is the best ever, so why would I want to mess that up?
Relationships are based on trust. During this life-changing period, both partners are understandably stressed. It’s healthy and necessary to share feelings of anxiety and frustration. On the other hand, acting out on those feelings by shirking responsibilities (absentee, presentee, online or in-person cheating) is not excusable as stress-response! Don’t judge feelings, as they are spontaneous, but we are responsible for our actions and impact on others. Make a promise, keep the promise. Betrayal and withdrawal are selfish choices that prioritize our own happiness over others (mother, child) who are vulnerable and need support from their family and partners.
We need to raise more gentlemen who are comfortable with teamwork, open communications, instead of fight or flight, bottling up feelings then erupt like a volcano, hurting themselves or others. Peace everyone.
