MY HUSBAND BEGGED FOR A SON AND PROMISED TO STAY HOME WITH HIM — BUT AFTER THE BABY WAS BORN, HE FORCED ME TO QUIT MY CAREER Nick always said he wanted a son more than anything. "I can't wait to teach him baseball, fix up cars... it's all I’ve ever wanted." I wasn't against having kids, just focused on my career. I'm an attorney, and I worked hard to get where I am, with a salary that more than doubled Nick's. He always promised that when we had a baby, nothing would change for me. "When we have our boy, I'll stay home. You've worked too hard." It sounded perfect. And when I finally got pregnant — with a boy — Nick was over the moon. He told everyone he was going to be a stay-at-home dad. I believed him. Until the baby came. A month in, Nick started backing out. "He cries too much." "He needs you more." And then one night, as I nursed our son while answering emails, he said: "I want you to quit your job. Just stay home with him full-time.” I laughed. "Yeah, that's not happening." Nick smirked. “Oh, please. You didn't think I was serious about that stay-at-home dad stuff, right? All moms stay home with their babies. I figured it would kick in, you know, your natural instinct or whatever.” I stared at him, realizing every promise he made was fake. And right then, I made my decision. The next morning, over coffee, I smiled and said, "You're right. I'll quit my career. But there's ONE CONDITION." ⬇️ MY HUSBAND BEGGED FOR A SON AND PROMISED TO STAY HOME WITH HIM — BUT AFTER THE BABY WAS BORN, HE FORCED ME TO QUIT MY CAREER Nick always said he wanted a son more than anything.
