For one 27-year-old woman, the final weeks of pregnancy should have been filled with anticipation, rest, and emotional support from her fiancé.
Instead, a night that began as a simple hangout with friends turned into a shocking betrayal – one that ended with her giving birth alone.
Months later, she is left wondering whether forgiveness is even possible. Reddit weighed in, and the reaction was overwhelmingly intense.
Here’s The Original Post:
A Night That Should Have Been Normal
The woman and her fiancé – referred to as Michael – were spending time with mutual friends when the evening took a sudden turn.
The only remaining guest was Michael’s longtime female best friend, “Madison,” who had never liked the fiancée for reasons that were never clear.
Tension between the two women had simmered for months, particularly because the fiancée, who is biracial, had been receiving racial insults from Madison.
Late into the hangout, Madison emerged from another room crying while Michael followed, angry. Nine months pregnant and exhausted, the fiancée had no idea what had happened – until Michael began shouting.
And then the insults started.
The Accusations and the Name-Calling
Without warning, Michael called his pregnant fiancée a “raging bh” and a “ct,” shouting accusations about a text she had sent Madison.
The fiancée did not deny the message – she had told Madison to “f** off” and said she didn’t want her near their child. But she sent it only after enduring repeated racist messages about herself and her pregnancy.
Instead of hearing her out, Michael refused to let her explain. He sided fully with Madison, took her tears at face value, and demanded that his partner – nine months pregnant – leave their shared home immediately.
His determination was so absolute that his name-calling didn’t stop until she was out the door.
Labor Begins and He Didn’t Believe Her
As she left, a sharp cramp hit her lower abdomen. She winced in pain. Instead of showing concern, Michael snapped at her to “stop faking.”
She left anyway.
On the drive to her mother’s house, her water broke. Realizing she didn’t have time, she turned the car around and rushed to the hospital. In serious pain, she attempted to call Michael – only for him to decline her call.
Unable to reach anyone else, she arrived at the hospital alone and went into labor.
Giving Birth Alone
With no time for an epidural, she pushed through two grueling hours of labor entirely by herself. She eventually delivered a healthy baby girl, Grace Noel.
The emotional toll was overwhelming. What should have been a shared milestone became a lonely, terrifying moment – all because her fiancé chose to believe someone else’s lies.
The birth was the breaking point.
She Finally Spoke Out
After delivering her daughter, she made one decision: she posted screenshots of Madison’s racist messages on Facebook. Roughly an hour later, her phone lit up. It was Michael.
Suddenly, he wanted to “talk.”
She told him she had given birth, and he showed up at the hospital about 40 minutes later. Now full of apologies, he wanted forgiveness for his actions.
But she couldn’t forget what he had done – the name-calling, the refusal to listen, the eviction, the accusation that she was faking labor, and the fact that she delivered their child alone.
Here’s what people had to say to OP:
Many noted that he only cared once the racist messages became public and his image took a hit.
Others echoed this, saying that his blind loyalty to Madison revealed deeper issues.
People were horrified that he kicked a nine-month pregnant woman out of their home, especially after calling her vile names.
The consensus was unanimous: NTA.
Not forgiving him isn’t petty. It’s self-protection. He didn’t simply miss the birth – he caused her to experience labor alone through cruelty and disbelief.
His actions demonstrated who he prioritizes, and it wasn’t his fiancée or their newborn daughter.
For many, forgiveness isn’t even on the table- safety and stability are.
