I want to divorce my pregnant wife after she gives birth – carrying my baby has only made her entitled attitude worse
A FRUSTRATED man shared his intention to divorce his pregnant wife over her attitude.
With each day that passes, he feels more certain about his decision, especially when it comes to his responsibility towards his children.
Redditor Glass-Benefit-1662 shared his relationship problems in a post.
“My wife and I have been together for 10 years, married for four with one kid and one of the way (I know),” he wrote.
“As each day passes, it becomes more solidified that I no longer want to spend the rest of my life with her. I have grown what feels like an insurmountable resentment for her, with the feeling becoming more mutual.”
He explained that his marriage has “pushed my sanity to the brink.”
His wife, he revealed, has always neglected household tasks like cleaning, even before they had children, leaving their home “a mess.”
“Pregnancy has only made her often crappy, entitled attitude worse,” he added.
“My marriage nor my current household condition is what I want to model for my kids’ future, nor is it good for my happiness or sanity.
“It was over in my head when she asked me to say something ‘sweet’ about her and I drew a blank because I don’t feel this way for her any longer.”
While he has no intention to serve her with papers while she’s pregnant, he explained that he did want to file for divorce shortly after she gives birth.
“My thought is somewhere between 6-12 months after birth depending on how things progress,” he explained.
“Regardless of how some of it may read, this is still the mother of my children and if nothing else, I want her to be mentally and emotionally stable as a parent.”
People felt that while he’s justified in how he feels about his marriage, his execution left a lot to be desired.
“You stayed for TEN YEARS with her and her behavior which always bothered you,” pointed out one commenter.
“You had two children with her knowing that you resent her for who she is.
Pregnancy has only made her often crappy, entitled attitude worse.

“I just can’t wrap my head around the whole situation… the children will suffer the consequences of your stupidity.”
“You’re not the a**hole for wanting to end the marriage. You are an idiot for the following: Never trying to get marriage counseling when you have been unhappy,” said one commenter.
“Getting her pregnant when you are this unhappy. Possibly for getting married period (you don’t make it clear if you knew she was this bad prior to marriage),” they added.
“Why did you get her pregnant again? You’re not that bright are you?” said a third.
“Shut down all unnecessary expenses for both of you now and go to marriage counseling.”
“Not the a**hole for your feelings about her behaviors. That’s life sometimes,” agreed one critic.
“You’re the a**hole for not taking double precautions to not get her pregnant repeatedly when you’ve been feeling this way for some time.”
