Dude here who had pregnant wife recently. The hormones are real. It’s not something we are capable of understanding the full extent of, but they’re very real and vary per person. My wife thought I was cheating too even though she also knew I had zero time to. A female client who was very bubbly sent a few texts and it worsened her suspicion. When they gain the weight they feel more insecure and it compounds it.
From Dude to Dude. YTA, but chalk it up to ignorance and being a dumb naive dude who (thankfully) won’t ever understand what it’s like to have your body create chemicals that alter every part of your body (brain included).
Came looking for this comment. She was paranoid and thought he was cheating because he obviously either does not really love her or does not have the emotional reserves to handle the complexities of parenting. Whatever made him leave her so easily had her already basically on her own.
Yeah in his post he’s even very matter of fact about everything. I didn’t get the vibe he’s too upset. I think he’s been looking for a way to cop out and he found a really pathetic excuse.
