Three years after a vasectomy, a man was stunned to discover his wife was pregnant. He never wanted to have children, never liked them, and knew being a dad wasn't his cup of tea.

Despite the vasectomy, he and his wife always used protection. Early in his relationship, he also made it clear that he wanted his life to be child-free.

His wife was fully on board. Even before the man's vasectomy, she said she'd be willing to undergo abortion should she ever fall pregnant.

However, she ended up pregnant. She concealed from her husband that she had stopped taking birth control; she only revealed it when the pregnancy test came out positive.

The Man Thought His Wife Cheated on Him

The man believed there was no way he was the father, especially with all the safety precautions they had taken through the years. For a while, he thought his wife had cheated on him, so before the arrival of their child, he took two prenatal paternity tests. But each test confirmed that he was the father.

Throughout the pregnancy, the man and his wife had several conversations about how their life would change because they never planned on having kids. He insisted on getting an abortion, but his wife was against it.

When the baby was born, they had another DNA test to be 100% sure. Without surprise, the test confirmed that he was indeed the dad.

The Man Thought He Could Give It a Chance, But He Couldn't

Things stayed the same when their son arrived. The man had no interest in being a father, and even after months of therapy, he and his wife weren't on the same page.

"Honestly, it’s just not where I wanted to be, her and I decided we were on two very different paths with no reconciliation possible. He’s almost gonna be 4 months old, and I just recently moved out while we proceed with the divorce," the man admitted.

After he moved out, the woman dealt with their son alone. Her sister sometimes helped, but the man never got involved. He did acknowledge that he would still need to pay child support but left it to the court to decide how much he needed to shoulder. "That’s as far as I’ll be involved in his life," he said.

When the man returned home for more of his belongings, his estranged wife looked at him, defeated. She complained about how difficult it was to raise a child alone, saying it would be easier if the child's dad came around more often.

"When did I say I ever would?" the man asked. The woman was stunned and couldn't believe what was coming from her ex-husband's mouth. She told her sister about what happened, and the man got an earful afterward. Despite that, he moved on with his life and stood firm in his decision not to be in his son's life.

People on the internet were torn. Others felt bad for the mom and baby, but also noted how deceitful the woman was for not telling him she stopped taking birth control.

"He was misinformed about her taking birth control and if he is taking the extra step as to ensure he does not have a child by using condoms then he is not wrong," one wrote.

"Considering he'd had a vasectomy and they were using condoms, I would say this is only reproductive coercion if she intended to get pregnant by going off birth control," another echoed.

What do you think of their situation? Do you think the man was right for leaving his wife and newborn son?
