I was pregnant with my 1st child, my husband has 3. The day my water broke, he didn\u2019t come to the hospital. He texted, \u201cIt\u2019s my son\u2019s first football game.<\/p>\n
I promised I\u2019d be there. Our newborn won\u2019t recall this day anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
I said don\u2019t come home. He didn\u2019t show up for 3 days. Worried, I went to his ex\u2019s house, she looked flustered. I froze when I found out my husband had been staying there in the guest room because he felt offended when I asked him not to come home.<\/p>\n
I was furious, and to make it worse, she turned to me and said, \u201cWell, your husband already has three kids, so this fourth one isn\u2019t as special to him as it is to you.\u201d Then she added, \u201cHis first family will always be more important, and that\u2019s just how life is.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t say a word and left. After seeing my husband\u2019s indifference and hearing his ex\u2019s words, I\u2019m seriously considering divorce.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
