She’s Having Difficulty With Her Newborn Baby, So She Wants Her Husband To Cancel His Trip With His Friends

Fellas, sometimes you gotta live up to your responsibilities and tell your bros that you’ll spend that quality guy time later on down the road…

But we all know that some men can be stubborn and they like to do what they wanna do.

Check out this story from Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page and see if you think this woman was wrong to ask her husband for a little more help after they had a baby.

AITA for Asking My Husband to Cancel His “Bro’s Only” Trip to Help Me With Our Newborn After He Promised He Would?

“I (30F) gave birth to our first child, Olivia, two months ago.

Being a first-time mom has been both beautiful and overwhelming.

My husband, Jake (32M), was incredibly supportive during the pregnancy and promised that after Olivia was born, he would be there for me every step of the way, especially during those challenging first few months.

You know what’s coming next…

Before Olivia was born, Jake and his friends had been planning a “bro’s only” trip for this summer—a week-long vacation to a cabin in the mountains for hiking, fishing, and bonding.

When the trip was being discussed, I reminded Jake that Olivia would only be a few months old, and we would be deep in the newborn phase.

He reassured me that if things got too tough, he would cancel the trip to help me out, and I trusted him.

Now that Olivia is here, things have been harder than I anticipated.

Between the sleepless nights, breastfeeding struggles, and just trying to adjust to motherhood, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed.

Jake has been helpful, but I can tell he’s excited about this trip, which is coming up next month.

Honey, let’s have a talk…

Last week, I asked Jake if he could consider canceling the trip, reminding him of his promise.

I told him that I’m struggling and that having him gone for a whole week would be really tough on me.

He seemed surprised and a bit hurt that I was asking him to cancel.

He said he’s been looking forward to this trip for months, and that he needs a break, too.

He also pointed out that his parents live nearby and could help if I needed support while he was away.

I understand that Jake needs a break and wants to spend time with his friends, but I can’t help feeling like this is a time when I really need him by my side.

I tried to explain that while I appreciate his parents’ help, it’s not the same as having him here.

Now it’s a big problem.

Jake said that I’m being unfair by asking him to cancel the trip after all the planning that went into it and that I need to trust him to make sure I’m supported even if he’s not physically there.

Now, we’re at a bit of a standoff.

Some of my friends think I should let him go, saying that it’s important for him to have some time away, especially after all the stress of becoming a new dad.

But others agree that it’s too soon for him to take off for a week, and that he should prioritize being home with me and Olivia.

This could get ugly…

I think she’s the one who needs the break, though.
