Labor And Delivery Nurses Say These Male Behaviors Are How They Know You Should Divorce

These nurses have seen it all, and yes, they're secretly judging your partner, too.
Giving birth is already one of the biggest challenges in a person’s life, but an unsupportive birth partner can make it even worse.
Take it from people who see this dynamic every day. While labor and delivery nurses are there in the room helping pregnant people endure the pain of contractions and epidurals, they are also sometimes dealing with bored, judgmental partners.
“A lot of times, you just are making eye contact with the other nurses in the room. Like, ‘Can you believe what is happening at this moment?’” said Yancy Guzmán, a North Carolina-based nurse.
“Labor is where partners rise to the occasion or fail miserably,” said North Carolina-based nurse Jen Hamilton. “I see it all the time where people have so much hope that their person is going to just step up to the plate ... It’s just so devastating to watch somebody who you know had these really high expectations and then they weren’t met.“
And the nurses interviewed, who have seen hundreds of births, said this unsupportive behavior is exclusive to heterosexual men.
