All parents will tell you what a miracle it is to have children and how joyous it is, yet they wonder why we don't believe them.
This is a long story off Reddit, short--->Legal Non-citizen married to citizen and has 6 month old child, cheated on his wife. Budget really tight, but he asks for two lunches to eat everyday(because he's secretly giving one to another non-citizen female). Wife doesnt eat then, becuz I guess they don't have enough money.
You can real the long sordid story here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/17x7jjf/my_husband_has_ruined_both_our_lives_by_asking_me/
But this is what he said about coming home to baby:
"What choked me up was when he said he used to feel more exhausted when he used to come home to us because the baby would be excited to see him and would cry to be held by him, and during the week I would often leave the same easy meals made for him so he could eat while I left to work and he started to feel tired of it.
It was a boring routine of same foods during the week. Coming home and having to watch the baby so I could go to work.That solidified to me that I don’t ever want to find another relationship much less go back to him. The routine I worked hard to put my family together,
was a chore to him. I literally dealt with a fussy tired child til he got home so she would mostly sleep and he would only need a single bottle for her
but even that was too hard."
Gosh, the first 6 months of having a baby and the excitement already wore off for this dude, even when he NEEDS wifey for his green card, citizenship status. Has sex with two women which includes his wife, and he's bored with his life, while wifey doesnt eat, keeps busy all day and nite long and is still putting out. Cheaters gonna cheat but we've all heard the most precarious time of cheating in a marriage is while wifey is preggers for first time and the stress of the newborn. And, here we are....Another one to File under dealing w/ newborn is a joy.
