Picture this: you’re a young woman in your 20s, enjoying a successful career with great benefits and a supportive workplace. Life is good, and you’re in a loving relationship. One day, your boyfriend drops a bombshell: he expects you to quit your job and become a stay-at-home parent for a baby that doesn’t even exist yet! That’s the dilemma faced by one woman, who found herself in a heated argument with her partner over their future. Let’s dive into the story and see what happened…

Career Woman vs. Imaginary Baby: Who’s the A**hole? ‍♀️

So, there you have it: a young woman in a loving relationship, enjoying a successful career, and suddenly faced with the prospect of quitting her job for a baby that doesn’t even exist yet. She stood her ground, defending her career and her life choices, while her boyfriend hurled accusations and insults. But who’s really in the wrong here? Is she a monster for not wanting to put a hypothetical baby first, or is her boyfriend being unreasonable in his expectations? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
