Reddit Users Debate the Couple’s Different Views on Having Children

The husband’s comments and the woman’s account of having to ask for help caring for their child drew reactions from Reddit users.

One commenter wrote, “He’s going to impregnate you again at some point.. with a response like that. I wouldn’t be surprised.”

The woman said the comment reflected concerns she was beginning to have about her relationship.

“Starting to come to that realization. This is only the beginning. Ugh just enjoying my pasta tonight and figuring out what to do later. We’re not on the same page about kids at all and that’s a huge issue,” she replied.

Other commenters urged the woman to consider an IUD or another form of birth control. Several responses focused on the couple’s apparent disagreement about whether they want more children.
