Husband Refuse To Pay Half Of Childbirth Hospital Bills Because He Didn't Use It by DyshApp: 5:47pm On Oct 12, 2023 |
Okay coming here as a last resort because I genuinely think this problem could be the end of my marriage. Also throwaway bc my husband is a frequent redditor. My husband (35M) and I (32F) welcomed our first baby three months ago. We’ve been married 7 years now and decided it was time to expand our family. Everything was going well and we were in our little newborn bubble of bliss until the hospital bills came. Both my husband and I have jobs and everything financially is split 50/50, but we’ve always kept our money separate with the exception of a joint account for bills. Throughout the duration of my pregnancy, I planned to go for an unmedicated natural birth with as little intervention as possible. That was up until I hit the 24 hour mark of labor, I caved and got the epidural (which I was open to having if needed). My husband had no problem with it, even encouraged it. When the bill came he brought it to me to pay all $8,000+ (after insurance) from my personal savings, I asked why. He said “You’re the one that couldn’t hold out for a few more hours and jacked up the bill with all your meds and an extra nights stay and he shouldn’t have to pay for all of my extra requests. If I wanted luxury, I should expect to pay for it”. I was stunned, and flipped out, but I’ll spare you the details. He refuses to budge, calling me a princess for expecting him to pay for all the “extra add ons” I requested in the hospital. this is by far the biggest issue in our 14 year long relationship so far and I’m so lost on where to go from here. I gave in and paid the bill, but since then we haven’t been talking much and honestly I just feel disrespected. Do I have the right to feel this way or is it just hormones? Am I The Asshole for expecting him to contribute towards the cost of my childbirth? WIBTA for considering leaving him? What would you do in this situation? 2 Likes 1 Share

An average African man will joyfully clear the bill or run to his kinsmen to assist him clear the bill while giving glory to God for blessing his family with a bouncing baby. Still our womenfolk deride us and call us toxic and immature. Oya naa, see an oyibo husband trying to split (or even refusing to pay) child delivery bill. I wonder if any of our deluded feminists can accept what this woman went through. 291 Likes 40 Shares |

louken: No, that's not true. African men that run to marry white women richer than them? African men that wail here everyday that their girlfriends can't offer them money in their relationships?? African men that say they can't marry a woman who doesn't have a job? African men that demand for princess treatment nowadays while pining for rich white women that will pamper them?? Definitely not the African men of this generation or on nairaland. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Bliss52: Speaking on the ambulance matter, in New York, a woman was in a bad accident. Several people rushed in to help , while someone pulled out his phone to call for an ambulance. Woman somehow spotted him, somehow guessed he was calling for ambulance, because she screamed 'Please don't call an ambulance. I can't afford it' Medicare is expensive anywhere period. Even in countries where it is free, people pay for it at very very high tax rates. (As in, half your yearly income). The USA has high health standards, which is why healthcare is very expensive there. (and why people are opposed to single payer healthcare like the UK's NHS, because it means higher taxes , and tax in the USA is very high already). 16 Likes |

First off, wondering what type of insurance they have that expected them to pay $8000 for childbirth. That said, isn't the child theirs? Why is he acting silly? Whatever expense was borne, he should be happy the baby and the mother survived and gladly agree to pay his share. 9 Likes |

Leave his sorry arse because tomorrow he will still refuse to pay for the baby’s food saying he didn’t use it. Brave up for the single parent you are about to become and make sure not to take in again. 14 Likes 1 Share |

HE IS JUST PASSING A MESSAGE THAT I THINK ALL WOMEN NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO. ALWAYS BEHAVE AND CHOOSE YOUR CHOICE OF LUZURY LIFE AS IF YOU ARE THE ONE PAYING. BE CONSIDERATE AND NOT ALWAYS EXTRAVAGANT. THE MAN SHOULD AT LEAST PAY HALF OR TOTAL THOUGH EXCEPT IF HE HAS WARNED AHEAD AND ALREADY ANGERED BY ULTRANCES NOW. 5 Likes |
