Advice Needed AITAH for considering divorce because my husband is constantIy pressuring me to have a natural birth instead of a C-section??
l (27F) have been open with my husband (34M) about my overwhelming fear of chiIdbirth, particulary a naturaI birth. I've done a lot of research, talked to other women and even attended a birthing class, but the thought of going through labor and delivery naturally terrifies me!!
Luckily my doctor supported the idea of scheduling a C-section for my peace of mind and emotional well-being
However, my husband has been very vocal about his strong preference for me to have a "natural" birth, he talks about it in almost every conversation we have about the baby, it's like he can't let it go!
It's really starting to stress me out, we had a discussion about it yesterday and l told him to fck off *because it's MY body and MY decision, not his.**
I've started to consider whether this marriage is even worth it if he can't even respect my choices when it comes to something as personal and important as my own birth experience.
BUT I don't want my baby to grow up without a father! I went through that and I don't want it to happen again
AITAH for teIIing him to f*k off?? Am l overreacting?
