A woman was left furious after her husband decided to go out with a friend instead of attending their baby's gender scan - so, as a punishment, she refused to tell him the gender of their unborn child! Taking to Reddit's iconic '<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/101hya0/aita_for_refusing_to_tell_my_husband_the_gender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I The A*****?</a>' forum, this frustrated mom-to-be decided to take matters into her own hands after her husband blew her off to go and get some "fish 'n' chips" with a pal of his. "My husband and I are expecting. This is our first baby and we're excited," she started. "Thing is he barely attends any [doctor's] appointments with me and his excuses aren't even valid. He's willing to miss [an] appointment over soccer or a drink or board game with friends. "His response is always 'I'm not the one carrying the baby, why do I have to go see the dr with you?'" <img class="wp-image-1263187448 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/2HAG8ME-1024x672.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="672" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Sarah McEwan / Alamy]] While it seems as though the woman was used to her husband's half-a**ed antics, she explained that something he did last week really tipped her over the edge. "He was supposed to come with me for the baby's gender reveal appointment but he chose to not come last minute because his friend invited him to [a] fish 'n' chips meal," the mom-to-be wrote. "I was pretty livid but didn't make a fuss about it. Mom went with me instead." She's a better woman than I am, that's for sure. But this story gets worse, guys - because this man had the nerve to then ask his wife to text him whether the baby is a boy or a girl. However, when she rightfully didn't respond, he resorted to "spam-calling her." "I hung up each time," she told her fellow Redditors. "He came home fuming demanding I tell him the results but I refused and bluntly told him, since he refused to attend the appointment then he gets no results til after the baby's born and said I was willing to die on this hill." She then explained how her husband didn't like the response, slamming her as "spiteful and immature," adding that "he's the father and has the right to know." "He then called me dramatic since I wasn't alone and mom was with me. I said he gets no results period. "He's been fuming about it and told his family and they're now pressuring me to stop playing mind games with him and tell him but I declined. AITA?" Reddit users were just as unforgiving to the husband's case. <img class="wp-image-1263187449 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-03-at-16.25.05-1024x177.png" alt="" width="1024" height="177" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Reddit]] <img class="wp-image-1263187452 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-03-at-16.27.22-1024x334.png" alt="" width="1024" height="334" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Reddit]] "NTA [not the a**hole]. Already a deadbeat dad before the baby is even born," stated one user. "I would drop a friend if I found out they prioritized fish n chips over their wife and baby's doctor appointment," added another. A third gave the soon-to-be-mom a very terrifying scenario: "If he’s telling you 'I’m not carrying the baby why do I have to go to the doctor with you' that’s going to turn into 'I didn’t push out that baby, why should I look after it!!' Reeeealll quick." Ain't that the truth? And this user recalled a personal experience: "NTA. My ex pulled this with our second child, and I caved and told him. I shouldn't have. "You need to seriously reconsider this relationship. He's showing you that he and his friends are more important than you and the baby. He sees going to appointments with you as punishment, not as a chance to make sure you and the baby are healthy. "Don't be like me and stay until he leaves you for another woman." <img class="wp-image-1263187450 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-03-at-16.24.55-1024x369.png" alt="" width="1024" height="369" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Reddit]] My advice would be to dump him - but then again, what would I know? <h6>Featured Image Credit: Maskot / Alamy</h6>
