An expectant mother was appalled when she learned that her partner wanted her to get a C-section purely so that her post-birth anatomy wouldn’t “ruin” their sex life.
Preparing to welcome a newborn is never easy - especially when you’re the one who will ultimately give birth to the little one.
But one mom-to-be has found herself in a particularly difficult situation, having to deal with a partner pressuring her to undergo a surgical procedure purely for his own gain.
Taking to the subreddit r/TwoXChromosomes, Reddit user Elkatiuskas explained: “My partner wants me to have a C-section because he wants me 'to be tight'. I've kicked him out of the house.”
She went on: “At first I thought it was a ‘joke’ but when I saw he was serious, I was offended to my core (not that a ‘joke’ like would be ok). I’m shocked because he’s always portrayed himself to be a feminist, so a comment like that was very weird.
“But he insisted that the last thing he wants is for our sex live to be ‘ruined’ because I’ll never be as tight as I’m now and he had the f****** b**** to lecture me that ‘for this relationship to work, you have to make sacrifices.’”
When Elkatiuskas put her foot down and told him it was not going to happen, the father-to-be branded her “selfish”, stating that this was “proof” that she can't ever put his needs above her own.
She said: “I’m the breadwinner and I’m supporting him while he makes his jarrarium business take off, because he refuses to get a paying job and wants to pursue his passion. I understand this and tried to be supportive.
“A few months ago he asked to move in with me because his parents were ‘smothering’ him. While I work 10 hour shifts, he doesn’t cook, clean, run errands, nothing.
“I pay for our bills, rent, food, gas for his car and his jarrarium supplies. Excuse me but if this isn’t being the very definition of a supportive girlfriend I don’t know what is.”
His comment on her "selfishness" was the last straw for her and the Redditor ultimately kicked him out of her home.
She explained: “I love him, he may be a parasite, as my sister says, but I truly thought I was helping someone pursue their passion.
“I don’t think he was taking advantage of me with malice, he was always a momma’s boy and living with me was easy for him because, like at his mom’s place, here he didn’t have to do laundry, cook, pay bills, etc. But I’m done.
“I deserve better. I deserve a real partner who helps out and [whose] main concern isn’t my vagina’s ‘tightness,’ not a grown man-child to take care of. I’m still in love with him but I’ll get over it. I just don’t want him as my partner anymore.”
