Having a baby tests a woman, her body, and her relationship too.

It’s important to be surrounded by people you trust in the delivery room, and the woman in this story thought she had that with her husband.

But it was only after she’d delivered their baby that his trust for her was thrown into question.

Read on to find out what he said that led to her banishing him from the delivery room, and questioning their relationship altogether.

AITA for asking my husband to leave the delivery room?

I am 28 and my husband is 31.

We have been married for two years and together for six.

We met after I had just come out of an abusive relationship, and he helped me gain my trust back.

Read on to find out how their relationship was thrown into question.

I had my daughter in January of this year.

After I had given birth, my husband asked me if he could get a paternity test as he didn’t think she was his.

I asked him why wouldn’t she be, and he replied you can’t trust people these days.

So I told him to leave the room.

After all I had just been through 24 hours of labour to bring our daughter into the world.

Let’s see what happened when they came back together.

He came back in around thirty minutes later and asked me for an apology.

I told him no because I didn’t do anything wrong.

To this he said that I’m clearly hiding something, otherwise I wouldn’t have  asked him to leave.

I have been considering allowing a paternity test as I have nothing to hide, but I feel like if I did then the trust would all be gone.

AITA?

This is an absolutely unacceptable thing to say to a woman who has just given birth to your child.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this.

This person agreed that his behavior was wholly unacceptable.

While others thought this said more about him than his wife.

She deserves better than him.
