A man whose wife delivered through cesarean section insists that her father would be the one to handle the medical bills.

The woman shared the story as an allusion to how much hurt she can take from anyone. According to her, she had gone into labor and the doctors noticed that the baby’s breathing was declining. They decided to inform her husband that she would have to go through a cesarean section to deliver successfully. And immediately he told her that she would have to call her father to pay for the Cesarean section as he doesn’t have the money to pay for an operation – since she could not go through the delivery the way other women do.

The wife then called her father and informed him of the situation. He will later send her One hundred thousand naira so she would make a deposit. The husband on the other hand then booed the wife’s family and called them “useless” for sending One hundred thousand out of Two hundred and fifty thousand naira.

The story has stirred reactions from X-users:

@i_amzyra: This is not just hurtful. It’s aband0nment in a moment where you were most vulnerabl3. A partner should be your support in cris!s, not someone who sh@mes you while you’re fight!ng for your life and your baby’s. Did your father put the baby in there, abi what is this sens3less talk nau. The p@inful thing is you will still remain in the house.
@EzekielOluwada6: In a situation where life is hanging in the balance, support is supposed to be immediate, not insult$ or comparisons about money or family worth. The focus should have been on your safety and the baby’s breathing, not on sh@me or humiliati0n. What makes it even worse is the emotional coldness refusing responsibility, then turning around to insult you and your family at a moment when you needed comfort the most. That kind of behaviour says more about his character than anything else.
