It's a shame that you are apprently completely unappreciative of all the things your husband did for when you were pregnant and all the sacrifices he made and was willing to make for you and the child.
A sadly all-too-typical example of the modern attitude of atomistic individualism.
Disliking the false "we are pregnant" is, in fact, in line with the traditional (and obviously sensible) view of biological reality. This "we" nonsense has only arisen in the last 20 years or so, along with the "atomistic individualism" you claim to oppose.
That was an odd thing to say.
I'm not sure of "all the things " my husband did for me while I was pregnant. I had easy and uneventful pregnancies (not even morning sickness), worked full time up to the day before each delivery (3) and drove myself to my check-ups at lunch times and after work. He did more of the laundry and shopping at the end. I did appreciate that.
I never saw the sonogram pictures of a baby growing in his abdomen, stretch marks on his belly or the daily ritual of the baby's hiccups entertaining his office-mates after lunch everyday. I must have missed it when he took those pre-natal vitamins, gained 35 lbs, and pushed an two 8-pound and one 7-pound baby out of his body.
I assume he was willing to sacrifice as much as I would for our children as would most parents for their children.
That still didn't make him pregnant.
And while a miscarriage affects a couple, I would be willing to bet that if surveyed, we would find the woman more devastated by the loss.
Being pregnant is fun at the beginning, tiring at the end, a little scary the whole time and definitly something only a woman can be. I mean no disrespect to husbands/fathers, but that's just the way it is.
I've always thought it silly to see a 9 month pregnant woman dragging her huge body around while her husband spoke about "them" (not her) being pregnant.
I think you just proved her point. My husband is a wondeful dad and husband, but he's never been pregnant.
