[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't automatically make him a bad person, OP, especially if there were office politics that meant he could never, realistically, take that much leave if he wanted to stay in the promotion lane.

But taken in the context of his divorce, it might indicate that he never prioritized his wife's wellbeing, and never challenged societal beliefs about mothers looking after children and fathers sticking to work.

I know plenty of fathers who didn't take their full leave, leaving their wives to fend for themselves with infants. Most of them are not divorced. They were afraid of being laid off or not taken seriously at work.

This is a big steaming pile of horsesh*t. You don’t think working moms are also afraid of “not being taking seriously” due to maternity leave? Of course we are. But we handle it and make the necessary compromises. This guy worked for a Fortune 500 company, not a steel mill where he would be fired for skipping shifts. he chose to abandon his wife and newborn and I’m sure that was not the end of his selfish and deceptive behavior.
