My Husband’s Actions After Our Baby Was Born Pushed Me to the Brink, but My Revenge Was Incredibly Sweet

“That hit a nerve. I stepped closer, my voice low and steady, ‘Abandon? You mean the way you abandon me every day — emotionally, mentally, physically? The way you ignore everything I do and act like I don’t deserve sleep, respect, or even basic appreciation?’”

“Colin scoffed, shaking his head, ‘I work full-time, Jess. I provide for this family. You don’t understand what it’s like to be the one carrying that burden.’ I let out a humorless laugh. ‘Burden? You mean going to a quiet office, drinking hot coffee, having adult conversations, and then coming home to dismiss the woman who’s been keeping your child alive? Yeah, sounds so tough.’”

“His face turned red, but he didn’t raise his voice. Instead, he inhaled sharply, exhaling as if he was preparing to say something significant. And then — he did. ‘I think we should get a divorce.’”

Jess ended her story with this: “I didn’t protest when he said that, and I didn’t even try to stop him when he packed his things and left. Now, I’m unsure how to move forward in our relationship. Should I apologize? Am I the bad person here? Am I guilty?”
