The holiday season is a time of warmth and joy for many, but for one heavily pregnant woman, it has taken a challenging turn. She recently sought advice on Reddit, sharing her predicament and asking for guidance.
The 31-year-old woman explained that she and her fiancé, also 31 years old, were expecting their first baby at the end of December. They had agreed not to go on any trips during this crucial time. However, her fiancé surprised her by booking tickets to Florida for his family’s annual Christmas vacation without her knowledge, and worse, he planned to go alone.
The trip was scheduled from December 15th to December 28th, with him arriving back home just two days before her due date. The woman expressed her worry about potentially going into labor without him by her side, saying, “Pregnancies are unpredictable, especially in the last trimester, and if anything happens leading up to the due date, I need him there.”
While being alone on Christmas is also a concern for her, her main worries revolve around having the support she needs during this crucial time. She shared her frustration, questioning why he had to go on this trip specifically when there will be many more in the future.
Whenever she has brought up her concerns, it has led to uncomfortable fights about prioritizing her versus his family. This has made her doubt herself and question if she’s going crazy.
Reddit users responded to her post, overwhelmingly supporting her frustrations and concerns. They highlighted the unpredictability of childbirth and the risks involved. One commenter expressed their disgust, stating, “I am actually disgusted with him for thinking this is okay to leave his vulnerable wife during that time… You just don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Another user emphasized the importance of spending Christmas together as a family, suggesting that the woman should tell her friends about her situation so that they can include her in their celebrations.
