I would like everyone's opinion - male and female - on men that leave their pregnant wives/girlfriends (for whatever reason)
Personally, I feel that pregnancy is one of the most vulnerable times in a woman's life - physically, emotionally and financially... and unless she did something VERY extreme, I think that men that leave their wives during this time are truly the lowest of the low.
Agree? Disagree?

My daughter's bio dad bailed when I was four months pregnant. I had three children from my marriage of 16 years, and had long been divorced from the ex when I got pregnant with my daughter. The pregnancy had many complications; sciatica, gestational diabetes, etc. The neurologist ordered me not to work for fear of risking the baby. I had three children to feed. I became depressed and was so tired all the time - I averaged about 3 hours sleep per night because of the pain. I couldn't take meds, either.
I begged the father to help. He was living in a house in Chicago he just sold for $319,000.00, has land in Arizona and a cabin in Maine. He refused to help in any way.She was an emergency C-section because she was dying. She came out blue/gray and wouldn't breathe. I yelled at her from across the room.."This is your mother, and I'm telling you to breathe right now!" And she did....
He didn't see our daughter until she was about 10 months old. I watched his face to see his reaction when he first laid eyes on his first and only child. There was no reaction.
He gets every 2 weeks visits and only pays $105.00 per week support. He said he'd agree for my now-husband to adopt her, but his mom and sister would throw a fit. Sheesh...
Even if a man and woman split during a pregnancy, he should still be completely involved in every aspect of the pregnancy and the childs life. It's called being a man.
