Today, my husband decided he would rather be with his mistress than with me while I gave birth to our first child. FML

MissyPants tells us more.

I am the op of this FML and I hope it shows that but let me explain this a little further. My soon to be ex husband has been cheating on me for the last few months of my pregnancy. I noticed the changes in him but I hoped it was just nerves over the baby. I actually caught him about three weeks before I went into labor and threw him out. I had planned on letting him be there when I gave birth to our baby girl but he didn't answer my calls. My mother was with me so I wasn't alone but I really thought he would want to see the birth of his first child. I have filed for divorce and have no problem being a single parent. He makes me physically ill at the moment but I have tried to be civil for our babies sake. I want him to be in her life because she deserves a dad but I can't force him to be one. I'm thrilled to be a mom no matter the circumstances and me and my daughter will be ok no matter what. Thank you all for the funny, sweet, and even mean comments; they make my day a little better.

Take every penny that bastard has. Be relentless and brutal. Hire a good attorney, win some alimony, and leave him in the rear view mirror.

Confused as to why this doesn't say 'about to be ex husband'

He doesn't deserve to be in that child's life if he can't be there for it. Sorry op, some people suck.

Because he would rather be cheating on his wife while she was giving birth to HIS child. That's why!!!! That's a pretty ****** up thing to do.

OP, congratulations on your new baby! It is just a shame that your inconsiderate husband did not want to be with you for that most precious moment. I hope everything turns out ok and that you have some other family that you can turn to.

I know a woman whose husband did the exact same thing to her six years ago. He was in the military and told her that he wasn't able to make it home for the birth of their third child. Unfortunately, a few months later she found out that he was really just visiting his mistress across the country.

You are an amazing, strong and smart woman!!! If he doesn't step up to the plate, then he deserves every bit of the hell that is to come his way. From the sound of it, you have given him every opportunity to be a father and as of yet, he hasn't. Such a shame...Congratulations on the healthy baby girl and I wish you and your daughter the best!

Thank you!! I love her more than anything and she has given me strength I don't know I had. As for her father, he's doing better but things are VERY awkward between us. He wants to come and see her but he's afraid I may hurt him(which I have to admit I find hilarious).

It's very noble of you to try and include your ex in your baby's life, but I don't think you need to put in that much effort. His actions throughout your pregnancy are not those of a man who's excited about fatherhood, and while I fully support people who don't want to be parents not becoming parents, he had any number of non-asshole opportunities to make his preferences known. If your lawyer encourages you to go for full custody and a healthy amount of child support, follow that advice. Good luck, OP!

My mum went through the same thing. She raised me and my Brother on her own. She did a great job and I am so thankfull for it. (Sorry for english mistakes, it is not my first language)

You are an incredible woman who deserves so much better. I understand because this same thing happened to my grandmother, except with her second child, my mom. Fortunately, you had someone there with you (my grandma's parents had still lived in Germany at the time, so they couldn't be there). Both my mom and her sister, however, turned out to be amazing, strong women, so I have no doubts that your little girl will be everything you hope for her to be and more. Good luck to you and your daughter!

I don't know why you'd want someone who has bad morals and loyalty skills in your baby's life. Your baby deserves only the best!

I applaud you for wanting your daughter to still know her father. I can't stand when mothers use their children as punishment to the father for something that is the business of the parents, not the child. And good on you for being so strong throughout a very emotional time in your life!

Kudos to you. It's not an easy decision to make. My mum bought the two of us up single handedly. And while it is tough it's totally worth it knowing you're strong enough to pull it off. Good luck op. It's not going to be easy and there are times that will be too trying & testing but I promise it will be worth every minute. Be brave and all the love and luck to you and your little angel.
