A lot of women fear going to the doctor because they feel like the current healthcare system is built to oppress them. The story of this one woman who was almost 40 giving birth and having very traumatic post-birth experiences that were disregarded by her OBGYN probably doesn’t help that narrative. In this, the boyfriend explains how the woman kept complaining and how he kept footing the bill for the medical check-ups.
Eventually, he got so upset by them that he decided to say enough is enough and that there will be no more like that. Redditors were, understandably, quite upset with him for his decision. He got her pregnant and he’s the one who’s not looking after her. The internet was understandably quite angry at him, and that’s why they put him through what they did. Read through their story and tell us what you think.
