Marriages are complicated enough, and they need lots of work and patience from both the partners to be a successful one. Even then, sometimes the best and most stable of marriages can encounter an insurmountable obstacle. Just like this Redditor, who shared a heartbreaking story of her marriage that seems to be going downhill, because of the cruel and thoughtless words of her husband.
The woman explained why she felt devastated.
Things were going great, but there’s a twist now.
I have loved being Luke and Lila’s stepmom. When I got pregnant, I officially adopted them, and we are very close. I had my son Casey (2/M), and the kids have been so great with him. Nick was wonderful during the pregnancy and had always been a really loving dad and husband.
But Nick has been pulling away a lot the last few months. He’s been even more distant than usual and working late nights and going away with friends almost every weekend. I’ve tried talking to him, but he’s been impatient with both me and the kids.
Now, I’m pregnant again, but my husband has been acting strangely. The kids are excited to have a little sister (am now 21 weeks pregnant with a girl), but Nick just seems so indifferent to everything and everyone. He’s been missing soccer games, Lila’s birthday, doctor’s appointments, etc. Casey is too young to notice, but Luke and Lila are so hurt by their dad’s absence. These kids are so good, and they lost their mom so young, and I’m infuriated that Nick is ignoring the kids like this.
Her husband told her he wished she was dead.
