'My husband refuses to cancel boys' trip - I could give birth any second'

A woman has taken to social media to share how her husband wants to go on his second boys' trip of the year despite knowing she'll be just weeks away from giving birth when he jets off on holiday

A woman has blasted her husband for refusing to cancel a boys' trip despite knowing she'll be just weeks away from giving birth. The 31-year-old explained how she originally agreed to the idea believing everything with her pregnancy would run smoothly and there was no need for him to stay home with her.

But when she reached her second trimester, she started having complications. Taking to Reddit, she said: "I thought the morning sickness would go away after the first trimester but it has persisted into the second trimester and now complications are adding to the stress."

Not only is her pregnancy impacting her mentally and physically, but she is also having to juggle her other responsibilities while parenting their five-year-old son. She is worried about how she'll cope with the youngster running around on top of everything.

She added: "My husband is currently on another boys' trip which is what got me thinking about future travels." Seeking advice she said: "Please give me clarify if I am being selfish. I feel justified in this but I am open to other perspectives."

AITA for asking my husband to cancel his boys trip since I will be 8 months pregnant?

The vast majority of users agreed her husband should stay at home, with some recounting their own experiences of partners wanting to go away close to the due date.

One user said: "My god, your husband is. He’s going on not one, but two boys trips while you are pregnant with a five year old? How many girls trips do you get? I can’t even imagine a reality where my bf would leave my side for something trivial while in such a vulnerable state. This is something that would make me reassess my relationship."

Another user added: "Husband and father here of similar age, and if I was him my wife would have been within her rights to kill me for the first trip. Let alone planning another one that close to the due date.

"Especially considering you have a five-year-old. If he has any balls he will say yes dear and sorry dear, and if he doesn't then there shouldn't be an issue with you going Lorena Bobbit on his a**."

A third user said: "You really don’t know how you’ll feel until the time comes. My answer would be different if he never got out, but he’s on a boys' trip now, so that isn’t the case. My ex-husband went on a business trip while I was in the hospital after my c-section with my second.

"I told him I didn’t mind, and at first, I didn’t. Then my uterus ruptured during my surgery and I nearly bled to death. I wish more than anything I asked him to cancel that trip, but I didn’t and it set a terrible precedent that led him to believe I could handle just about anything on my own, a major contributing factor to my divorce. Tell him how you’re feeling, otherwise, you will resent him."
