[quote=Anonymous]OP, your problem isn't that your husband wasn't there during birth, it's that you are unhappy with him generally. If he was an excellent husband otherwise but just not into birth, I think you would not be as wound up. Presence of husbands at birth is completely cultural. It's not a litmus test of their quality as husbands and future fathers. I have both Russian and Middle Eastern heritage and in both cultures the majority of women are adamant that husbands have no business attending birth; they should be at home arranging a comfortable environment for the child, running errands etc. Most women there would be aghast and unduly stressed if you told them the husband has to be there. Whether the husband is present at birth or not is completely and entirely up to the couple. I repeat that your problem with the husband is not that he wasn't there at birth. It's that he is just not there for you generally. [/quote]
