Today, my boyfriend and I welcomed our first son into the world. After I gave birth, he said he was going home to make sure the house was ready for baby. A few hours later, he was tagged in a Facebook photo by a mutual friend at the local bar. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I had my first born child. It's a boy. I found out on Facebook. FML
Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML
Today, I gave birth, but my husband was late and got here just in time to cut the cord. He was hung over after celebrating his impending fatherhood all night. He missed the cord twice, cut it, then fell over, and wound up in the bed next to mine, with a hydrating IV and a bashed head where he hit it on the baby's cot. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. He seemed thrilled, and went to buy some wine to celebrate. He left 11 hours ago and won't come back. FML
Today, I gave birth to our first child at home. What was supposed to be a beautiful moment of us peacefully greeting our newborn, ended up with the cops knocking on our door. Apparently me giving birth sounds like a domestic dispute. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. He went outside for a "breather" and never came back. FML
Today, after a short trip out of town, I came back late at night to the yard clean, the house swept and mopped, all the laundry done, and my son asleep. I was thrilled with my boyfriend, until I found him passed out, covered in spilled beer and piss. FML
Today, I was rushed to the hospital to deliver my child. On the way, I called my husband who was in a bar with his friends. Drunk, he just yelled, "BROS BEFORE HOS!!" and hung up. FML
Today, I gave birth to my first son. He was 11 pounds and the labour lasted 22 hours. My husband was absent for 8 of those hours because he slipped when my water broke, cracked his head, and ended up in the ER next door. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant and sent a picture of the positive test to my boyfriend. Before I got a text back from him, I saw his newly updated Facebook status, which read, "This has got to be the most depressing day of my life." FML

There's an assortment of reasons this could be. But looking at a different angle, maybe he's terrified. Bringing a child into the world can be a very daunting thing and maybe he needed a brief moment to collect himself before undergoing being a fulltime dad.

Odd, but my gut thinks there is more to this. Maybe he wants one more hurrah, before baby duty 24/7 for the next 18 years? Or he could just be another douche.

Maybe he finished cleaning and decided on a celebratory drink. It’s not like he’d be bringing a baby to a bar necessarily.

He’s doing just that. Kids drive you to drink! He’s just off to a fast start.

I had a friend with a shirt that said: daddy drinks because you cry.

Cracking open a cold one with the boys!(And in the future he will be able to say I cracked one open when you were born now I crack one when you’re ready go.)

Nothing wrong with a drink after the amazing gift of life,and it's traditional in most cultures,not to mention it sounds like the friends took him out to the bar,so go easy on him and congratulations, kids will make you laugh and cry harder then anything in the world.😊

If he's there with friends then maybe his buddies took him out for a celebration drink. No need to assume the worst, insecurity is a bad trait.

I can understand the need to celebrate and relax after witnessing hours of labor and childbirth, but the main issue is this: he told her he would be home preparing for the baby (something responsible), and then was revealed to be out drinking with the guys (probably not responsible behavior).

On top of the fact that she’s stuck in the hospital probably feeling miserable since she just gave birth.

One last pub crawl before he retires.

maybe he was excited and wanted to tell everyone. Anand maybe he's just an asshole.
