Netflix is a drug

Today, my fiancé completely missed the birth of our first child because he had started watching a new series on Netflix and really wanted to know how it ended. By the time he made it to the hospital our daughter was already 7 hours old. FML

You sure you want to marry him? He seems to have his priorities a little mixed up.

If he can misses the birth of his own daughter, imagine what else he will miss down the road. Rethink before you marry him.

My dad was hiding in the hallway where he snuck in his huge yellow lab to see my mom in the hospital. Things were different in the 90s, somehow you could've snuck a huge ass dog into a hospital room. He did stop on the way to the hospital to get take out though and made my mom wait in his work truck.

The take out part is sort of understandable if she wasn't too far along in the labor process. Labor can take hours or even days and the man has to eat. Although it would have been better to get her to the hospital first just to make sure she'd be okay if something happened, then get food and come back.

you unequivocally need to exit that relationship immediately. for him to be that selfish demonstrates narcissism and sociopathic behavior. things are only bound to get worse over time, and as horrible as a breakup is, especially with a baby in the picture, you should rip the bandaid off now. . .a friend of mine had a similar scenario with the birth of her kids, and now the oldest daughter has ptsd from the day that daddy hurt mommy in front of them.

It's usually really irritating when everybody recommends leaving someone but in this case I'd seriously consider it. That's a seriously huge **** up..As Every one else said if he's willing to choose a tv show over the birth of his daughter, I can't imagine he's going to treat you both how you deserve

Might have been an excuse to purposefully miss it. If he is a bit immature the idea of seeing that might have been too "scary" for him.

I think we need to know which show it was before we can judge, though...

While your daughter is a blessing, it's a shame for both you and her she has this man for a father, because he doesn't deserve either of you. Whatever you decide to do and whatever happens, I hope everything turns out well for you and your child. Good luck and God bless.
