When a woman goes into labor, it's natural to want your partner by your side. But what happens when you can't reach them? One woman found out the hard way when her husband's distant and private nature kept him from being there for the birth of their child. Despite texting and leaving voicemails, the husband was unreachable due to work commitments. The wife, panicked and in labor, had to rely on a friend for a ride to the hospital. Now, the husband is upset and calling his wife unforgivable for not trying harder to reach him. But was it really her fault? Read on to find out if she's the a**hole or not.
My Husband Was Upset I Didn't Tell Him I Was In Labor. AITA?

Did she deny her husband the joy of seeing their daughter born?
Giving birth to a child is a momentous occasion for any parent, but what happens when the father is unreachable during labor? A woman shares her story of going into labor and not being able to contact her distant husband. Despite leaving text messages and voicemails, he did not respond until after the birth of their daughter. Now he is upset with her for not trying harder to contact him. But was it her responsibility to go out of her way to tell him? Let's dive deeper into the dilemma and see what people are saying. But be warned, the comments section may be heated.
