NAH – Emotional reactions to unexpected gender reveal, with supportive replies

Apologizing for a brief walkout: Can trust be rebuilt?

NAH, but be more empathetic. Missing significant moment = unforgivable?

“YTA. You should have been there to support your wife and your baby. You would have had to leave pretty quickly to miss the cord clamping. Not to mention just because the baby pops out doesn’t mean pain/distress are over. There is still delivering the placenta, having multiple people up in your junk possibly suturing or repairing vaginal injuries, etc. I get being shocked but you should never have walked out on your wife and you missed important memories you will *never* get back.” – Commenter
