My husband abandoned me on the roadside during childbirth to join his parents on a vacation. He laughed off my pleas, saying I could handle the hospital trip solo

My mother always said it’s important to keep moving for the sake of health. Knowing that he doesn’t calm down easily when he’s angry, I reluctantly decided to go to the convenience store. Once I arrived, I bumped into Sarah, a neighbor.

Oh, Sarah, good evening. Good evening, Lisa. Did you forget to buy something, too? I ran out of sauce as I came here.

Sarah’s cheerful voice slightly lifted my spirits. My husband really wanted beer, and he told me to buy it. Why didn’t he just go himself? That’s what I said, but it didn’t get through to him.

It sounds like you’re having a tough time, Lisa. After walking together for a bit, Sarah and I parted ways at a crossroad. When I returned home, David was lounging on the sofa, watching TV, having not even cleaned up after dinner.

Why did it take you so long? What were you dawdling around for? Give me the beer. David’s disgruntled voice and his insensitive remarks made my heart ache. However, I handed him the beer without a word and began cleaning up after the meal.

How could he say such things to me, especially when I’m pregnant? I felt the urge to retort, but I didn’t want another shouting match, so I remained silent. Afterward, I had my dinner, took a relaxing bath, and headed to the bedroom. The next morning, David acted as if nothing had happened.

It seems he’s the type to forget everything after a good night’s sleep. However, I couldn’t forget his words from the previous night, and I consciously ignored him. Why are you making that face so early in the morning? Don’t take it out on me.

I’m heading to work now, so be a bit considerate. You know the importance of appreciation, right? Due to what he said, I was filled with the urge to retort. That applies to you, doesn’t it? But out of shock and disbelief, all I could do was sigh deeply and see him off.

Be careful, right? I won’t eat dinner tonight. See you. Without any explanation, David left in a hurry.

After seeing him off, I took care of household chores and went shopping as usual. However, since David mentioned he wouldn’t be having dinner, I decided to prepare something simple just for myself. Then, as I was about to start my meal alone in the evening, I heard David’s unexpected return and rushed to the entrance.

I’m back. Thanks for your hard work, but you said you didn’t need dinner today, right? Yeah, but my drinking party got cancelled. I’m hungry.

You have something to eat, right? Well, I only prepared a meal for myself today. Upon hearing this, David’s face contorted with anger. Didn’t you even consider the possibility I might come back? This is unbelievable.

Saying that, he moved to the dining table, and upon seeing the dinner I prepared, his mood worsened. What do you call this a meal? I seriously question if you’re properly doing your duties as a housewife. Don’t waste the money I’m working for.

I quickly prepared something for myself. Please don’t get mad like this. Maybe you should learn proper cooking from my mom…
