When a woman goes into labor, it’s natural to want your partner by your side. But what happens when you can’t reach them? One woman found out the hard way when her husband’s distant and private nature kept him from being there for the birth of their child. Despite texting and leaving voicemails, the husband was unreachable due to work commitments. The wife, panicked and in labor, had to rely on a friend for a ride to the hospital. Now, the husband is upset and calling his wife unforgivable for not trying harder to reach him. But was it really her fault? Read on to find out if she’s the a**hole or not.
