I was expecting my 1st baby with my husband; he has 3 older kids. When I went into labor, I texted him but he wrote, ‘I can’t come. It’s my son’s big football game’ I angrily said, “I don’t want to ever see you!” A week passed, and he stayed silent. I was worried and went to his ex-wife’s house. His son turned pale when he saw me.
I was disgusted when I found out that he had been staying there all this time, and they were all playing board games. Just like the picture-perfect family! To make matters worse, his ex-wife started laughing, and my blood ran cold when I found him silent, doing nothing to support me.
She then said, “Your husband already has three kids, so this fourth one isn’t as special to him as it is to you.” She added, “His first family will always come first, and that’s just how life is.” I couldn’t say a word and left. After seeing my husband’s indifference and hearing his ex’s words, I’m seriously considering divorce. Today, 4 days after the birth, he finally came to meet his daughter. While I know he can be a great and devoted dad, his attitude has shocked me.
What should I do?
