A woman who was six months pregnant was left feeling devastated and alone when her husband told her that his mother came before her. This shocking statement was the culmination of a series of events that made the woman realize her husband’s priorities were not with their unborn child or their marriage.
The woman had been feeling neglected throughout her pregnancy, as her husband spent more time with his mother than with her. She described her husband as a “complete momma’s boy” who would spend hours talking to his mother and prioritizing her needs over hers. Despite her efforts to communicate her feelings and needs to her husband, he continued to put his mother first.
The final straw came when the woman asked her husband to spend more time with her and their unborn child. Instead, he told her that being around more for her would take away from the time he had to spend with his mother. When she expressed her needs and feelings, he callously replied, “You know my mom comes before you.”
This hurtful statement made the woman realize that she was not a priority in her husband’s life. She felt alone and unloved, and she began to question whether she wanted to continue the marriage. The woman’s mother-in-law further exacerbated the situation by gloating about her “victory” and telling the woman that she would never be able to compete with her.
The Reddit community rallied around the woman, reassuring her that she was not being unfair or unreasonable in her expectations. Many commenters suggested that the woman’s husband was emotionally immature and that his mother was manipulating him. Others advised the woman to communicate her feelings and needs to her husband and to set clear boundaries.
In the end, the woman realized that she deserved better than a husband who prioritized his mother over her and their unborn child. She gave her husband an ultimatum, telling him that she would divorce him if he didn’t change his behavior. The husband broke down in tears and promised to make amends, but the woman remained skeptical about their future together.
