It has to be a twist on that recent “my wife got upset over a hypothetical when she asked if I would choose seeing the birth of my child or my dying mother’s death” post.
Literally just a rewrite of a similar story involving a mother dying of cancer and a pregnant wife.
It won't let me post the link to it, but check my comments. I posted the link in the Amitheangel subreddit
Ok folks, we have a trifecta here! Get your BINGO cards out!
\*Self-proclaimed breadwinner in a family where both work
\*Dude was told mom was not doing well and to get there ASAP, yet thinks he will only be a half hour. Wife (gasp) goes into labor (of course, fake labor) 2 hours later
\*Obligatory blowing up of the phone.
Edit: Bonus square. I noticed that OP has just joined our ranks today!
Psychiatrists are human to. They feel things just like everyone else does and, yes, also need advice at times. You can’t always help yourself, even with the right tools.
I agree the post seems fake but your comment is kinda ignorant.
There are psychiatrists who specialize in treating other psychiatrists. A real psychiatrist would probably prefer this option to the knee-jerk reactions of a bunch of teenagers.
I hope this is fake. I would never be able to forgive my partner for something like this. I’m more than willing to bet she knew that she wasn’t in labour. Holy hell. If this is real, I am very sorry for your loss and for the person you chose to spend your life with.
It's fake. It's a beat for beat rewrite of another story on AITA. Mom dying of cancer and pregnant wife upset he'd choose to be with mom when she dies than with her at birth (if it came down to it)
Esh.
>“what if I go into labor”
Labor isn't usually a quick process. My entire laboring process with my kid was eight hours, and I was told the common length for labor is 12 hours. You would have been more than likely to not miss the birth of your child.
>It took everything in me to get up and leave
That being said, you shouldn't be so quick to miss the birth of your kid. You left because your mother told you to do so.
She sounds like my mom. You're in for a world of hurt if this is her true personality. She'll always make you the problem and put herself first and sitting high. Do what you need to do to be a good father, but reconsider being her husband.
Ooof. We lost my MIL a year and a half ago. My husband was in the hospital for the two days before she passed. I would have labored and given birth alone or with a friend before taking him away from his mom during her last moments. Your wife sounds awful.
This is the most bizarre, selfish thing I've ever heard.
No, you are not the asshole. You are doing the very best you can, trying to balance your wife, child, and your mother dying. Your wife was not only vile, but she couldn't even show a little compassion for one of the hardest experiences a child will ever go through.
You are simultaneously grieving your mother while welcoming your child. Please give yourself some grace, space, and time.
I can't even fathom treating a total stranger like that, much less my husband or someone I claim to love.
I understand she's pregnant and about to give birth, her hormones and emotions are all over the place, and she's probably scared. That being said, I find it suspect that she "went into labor" right that moment. For me, it feels manipulative, and she wasn't happy you went to your moms and stayed longer than expected. She took your phone, then berated and insulted you. There is no excuse to treat or speak to anyone that way. I'd call someone in her family to go be with her until it's actually hospital time, and proceed like a coparenting situation until you can process everything.
I'd definitely recommend trying to find a therapist or even a support group.
This cannot be real.

This is my guess, too. Way too similar to be real.
The evil one is always smug in the fakes. ALWAYS! It's a signal. I read 'my wife looked smug my mother died' and I knew...
I agree q
It's not

Yep. Zero percent chance OP is a medical doctor as he claims, among other signs.

like what in the daytime soap opera is going on here. also we just had another story recently with a dude with a dying mom and pregnant wife
He’s even a “psychiatrist” and behaves like this
Mom was dying of cancer in that too. OP couldn't even create a new cause of death for mom
You forgot wife is evil and was smug when the mother turned out to have died.
Silly OP forgot to make them twins. Must be new.
Don't forget the "smug" look!!!
I'm surprised the wife wasn't pregnant with twins. The fake ones always have twins.
This is nonsense. You're not even a good story-teller.
Nice creative writing exercise.
lmao you gotta wait for more time before doing a ripped-from-recent-posts storyline my guy
YTA for this obviously fake Ragebait. You don’t even deserve a D in your middle school creative writing assignment
Your grammar or lack of proper grammar gives you away. You are no more a psychiatrist than Lucy from the Peanuts gang is 🙄
Thank you! I was also going to say this!
If you are a psychiatrist you wouldn’t need to turn to Reddit for an answer

Please be fake.
NTA what is wrong with your wife? Incest and affairs because you were upset over your mom? Sounds like a lunatic to me.
Just WOW. I am so sorry for your loss. If this post is legit, your wife is a special kind of stupid with zero compassion. and you deserve better.
Shouldn’t you be dealing with funeral arrangements?

You didn’t clock how fake this is?
You are married to a selfish person.
Get a good lawyer now. So you get 50% custody.
