I think by the sounds of things you are better off apart.
There are wrongs on both sides

I think there is a lot wrong with this marriage and unless it can all be sorted out then the best thing is to separate and get on with your lives on your own. I feel sorry for the baby, but something like this continually festering between them won’t make anything right.

My husband tried to jump out the window! hahahahah

Good call on this one

My husbands a joker too but theres a time and a place and he knows that.. poor mumma!! I hope she is ok.

Labor is certainly not the time to be playing pranks, however from the rest of the article, it appears there are underlying communication and respect issues.

Some people should think twice before act…and always consider partners feelings

I can see both sides of the story here. He has done the wrong thing but kicking him out for the rest of the birth was quite rough. I would have sent him out for a while and requested a break then let him back in.

I’m sorry but I can’t believe her husband acted like that. Maybe it’s good she found out what he was like now. Maybe not seeing her or their baby for a while might make him realise what he did was wrong. He could have apologised but it sounds to me like he is too much of a child himself. Hopefully things can work out but if I was her I’d stay with my parents. At least she will be safe there.

Probably lucky she learnt what he was truly like before getting to much further into their relationship with a newborn in tow. Good on you for leaving. I’d have left to.

This is so sad to read. The birth of a baby is meant to be a happy time and this turned situation turned so so bad. It’s a tough situation. He totally disrespected her by pulling a prank during her labour but for her to kick him out is going a little too far. They both have a right to be upset and it’s a shame their relationship could be over because of it.

What an obnoxious, arrogant, self-centred idiot he is. Until he can birth a child, he does not get to make fun of it. He was asked not to, told in fact, but didn’t care. Clearly it was more about him than his wife and child. Good on her for standing her ground. I’m so sorry she found out what he was truly like, during childbirth.

How do this couple expect to maintain a healthy relationship as parents, when they are not respectful of each others needs? I hope that they get some help and guidance to support them with their relationship.

She overreacted. It’s his child too, and I would’ve let that childish behaviour slide in order for him to experience it, too. Seriously though, her man is still an ass. Its a stressful time, and you just brought a baby into the world, they both need to focus their energy on the baby then this drama.

Things in life are about how we get through and over arguments that arise id explain this to him and see if you can both drop the topic and move on. You need to just discuss if you want to be a family living together or not, if so move on.

This has escalated way out of control. I think things could have been handled better and anger should not have been allowed to fester. The prank was inappropriate, but it was a small thing. I know emotions run a bit hot in the delivery room, but he could have been let back in. I’m sure he would have felt sorry when he realised how much it upset her. However, he needs to get over what happened and fences need to be mended. I think it’s really sad that ultimately a fart has resulted in a mother and new baby leaving. They need to forgive each other and the hubby needs to be supportive and help more with the new bub. It sounds like he’s still very angry and is being purposely hurtful. He also has no right to say she can’t take anything ‘he paid for’. It’s 50/50.

I doubt if the pranks had have stopped at 1 and when mum and bubs went home would he have done another prank that could have seriously gone wrong. to tell her to leave with nothing means that there was a lot more underlying problems. yes it will be hard but easier to love and care for 1 child than 2(hubby) I hope things can be worked out but the damage is done. As trust is very big.

The incident was handed very poorly by both parties and has now escalated into the wife leaving. Both need to stop behaving like children, grow up as they have a newborn that needs their love and care.

He knew exactly why you asked him to be removed from the delivery room. What an A-hole! And to then be so petulant, childish and downright nasty – ugh. Maninpulative and disloyal man child. His loss, no loss.

For sure she was right to leave. She told him no pranks – anyway how dare he even think of pranks when his partner is in labour (excruciating pain that NO Man could imagine or even go through themselves). He is a immature mummies boy – which is clear when his mother took his side in this immature prank. His mother has a lot to answer for also considering she has been in labour herself and know what it is like.
How Dare they. She is better off without both of those narcissistic people! You go girl – you are better off without both of those idiots. Shame on Them both
