My Husband Abandoned Me during Labor to Help His Mom with Groceries – He Soon Learned His Lesson

“I need to go, Aria. But it will be quick. I’ll be quick, promise.”

“What?” I gasped, wincing as another contraction hit me. “Dave, I need you right here. I need you to be with me! Our baby is coming!”

He sighed deeply.

“I know. Of course, I know that,” he said, barely making eye contact. “But it’s my mom, and she said that she needs my help desperately.”

“For what?” I nearly shouted. “You’re leaving me here for your mother? I’m sure she’s fine!”

“I’ll be right back, Aria,” he said. “I swear.”

He kissed my forehead before rushing out.

I couldn’t believe that he would actually do this. It made absolutely no sense. I knew that my husband loved being there for his mother, but to actually leave his wife during labor?

Was this really the man I married?

I felt abandoned in one of the most vulnerable moments of my life.

I tried to focus on the labor, paying attention to my breathing and whatever my body was going through. But then, my phone buzzed with a text from Dave.

I’ll be back soon, Aria. I promise. Mom just needs some help.

Did something happen? Is she okay?
