To want to stitch his scrotum to his penis without gas and air?

[SlimCheesy2]

... Okay to be fair I am really angry and am venting on here rather than at my best friend. My best friend is about to have her second child. She is 43, years of IVF for the first and fell for the second naturally. We had coffee yesterday and she said she was hoping to give birth naturally. Her DH who was in the kitchen at the time gave a snort. BF demanded to know what he meant by that and he said that she had hardly given birth naturally LAST time. BF got weepy and reminded him that she had given birth without drugs but had needed gas and air to be stitched back up. His comment was; Yeah. You wimped out'.

He meant it too. He is very anti drugs, medical intervention stuff anyway, though to be fair I am not his greatest fan (as I find him quite obnoxious and controlling) so anything he says winds me up. I left soon after that because BF was getting anxious and upset and it was not helping me being there.

But I want so badly to tell him that until he can pass a watermelon out of his arse he doesn't get to have an opinion on what 'wimping out' means.

I am really really really cross and feeling quite impotent as BF is literally days from giving birth so does not need me to give her my feelings on this so venting 'safely' via MN.

No, it is just I happily witter about myself and my family on MN, just seems not fair for me to witter about hers.

He does know how I feel- he 'banned' me for being a BM when they got married because i had already challenged him on something. (Not a challenge so much, just a 'wtf'!)

What a bleedin toss pot!

I hope he falls through a glass door or something, and a piece of flying glass lacerates his gooch no local anaesthetic or g&a for him to have that beauty stitched up cunt.

I am such an idiot sometimes

Not at all, OP.

You are justifiably angry about seeing your BF treated so badly.

You're a good friend.

Something tells me she's going to need you more than ever in the years to come, sadly. Her DH does not sound in any way supportive. Imagine if she has PND or any other sort of problems. Bringing up two kids is tough. Can't see much support coming her way, TBH

he 'banned' me for being a BM when they got married because i had already challenged him on something

....and so the isolating your BF begins. He sounds very controlling and abusive.

That video is excellent Paperdoll

I have given my DH hell (for the last 17 odd years) for falling asleep in my very long labour and then claiming after it was all over, that he was very tired .
This "gent" would have his cock cut off and attached to his forehead so that everyone was clear that he was a knob, if he was my husband.

I hope she has whatever pain relief she wants and DOES NOT keep it a secret from her DH. Why the fuck should she? Arse.

And yes, OP. This man sounds like a total wanker

She had gas and air last time ....so clearly what she felt she needed came ahead of his "expectations" He's not even going to be there so no reason to expect it'll be different this time either.

But yes he does sound a knob.

YAsooooNBU!

And of COURSE he gets queasy, his wife is only the one giving birth, he just gets to watch.

I wonder if men like this are a hangover from the very nasty idea that women had to suffer in childbirth because of Eve. When chloroform was first used as pain relief in labour some religious people got all het up about it, but then Queen Victoria used it and it soon became the norm. But of course he's claiming it's because he's anti drugs. Newsflash matey. You do NOT get a say in what other people decide to do with their bodies, especially when it comes to medical procedures. I bet if he needed stitches he'd want something.

Her Dmum is fabulous. And no nonsense. :)

Pettywoman I'll get my sewing machine out. Probably got some nice rusty, blunt needles that'll do the job nicely.

what an awful sounding man.
I wonder how he reasons the fact they had IVF ? that is the most medically intervening thing i can think of....yest he seemed ok with that ?

what a very silly man he is, and I am afraid you BF is silly for staying and putting up with such nonscence

"Yeah. You wimped out"

hides pain killers

PUNCH IN THE THROAT!

It must make all his dental procedures so much cheaper without having to pay for all that unnecessary pain relief - I assume he has never "wimped out" while having a filling?

Why on earth is having pain relief for stitches needed after childbirth any different to having pain relief for having stitches in A and E.? If someone had pain relief because they needed stitches because they cut themselves on some broken glass no one would question it.

The op's BF may well be in an abusive relationship. She did give naturally and is not a wimp. Once the baby has been born there is no point in not having pain relief.

Loving Tutti's suggestion!

Cut his cock off and attach it to his head so that everyone knows he's a knob! Genius

I volunteer to hold him down if someone else is better much worse at needlework than I am.

There petty fixed that for you

I take it no-one has ever put HIS genitals in a blender then asked him if he minded it stinging a bit?

Kick him in the balls with Doc Martens on and then offer him some baby calpol,the Prick.Gas and Air is sod all!

Batteries exactly! Resting! It's a vital part of parenthood.

What's the betting he'll also be 'resting' during every night feed, sickness bug, teething episode, post-vaccine fever...........

I'd MAKE him attend the birth & hopefully get queasy enough that he faints and catches the corner of something sharp with his head, shortly before whacking it on the concrete floor & ceasing to be a thorn in anyone's side any more. The world needs fewer wankers.

My BF's DH is a complete toss too & I've lost count how many times I've wished him 6ft under, but the difference is she told him early on never to make her choose between us as he wouldn't like the outcome. So although he's a monumental prick - he has to show some restraint.

All you can do is fantasise about his fate & continue to be there for her 💐

She did give naturally and is not a wimp. Once the baby has been born there is no point in not having pain relief.

I had both my babies by emergency c-section with spinal block.

I am not a wimp and nor is any woman who finds birth unbearably painful, and takes whatever medication / pain relief she wants.

Having help for pain does not equal "wimp". It's totally normal in every area of life - except this weird attitude to childbirth. There are some pain relief options that can have an effect on the baby, so that's a decision to make, but it's not about being a wimp. Least of all with gas and air.

Just asked my DH if he minds me having an epidural if we ever have kids, he was 'nope'. This is because although he can be an arse about some things he's sensible about others. (I was about 12 when I said if I ever gave birth I wanted one.)
