When Sarah had her baby boy, Luc, she imagined it would be the happiest day of her life. After a difficult pregnancy filled with worry and sleepless nights, finally holding her son made everything worthwhile. She pictured her husband, Tom, arriving to pick them up from the hospital, proud and smiling, ready to start their new life together as a family.
But when discharge day came, Tom didn’t show up on time. Sarah’s excitement turned to worry as calls and texts went unanswered. Finally, Tom messaged that he was at the mall, caught up in a shoe sale, and would be an hour late.
Sarah was crushed — how could he prioritize shopping over his newborn son and wife?A kind nurse saw her distress and offered to drive them home. When Sarah arrived, Tom was relaxing on the couch, showing off his new sneakers.
When confronted, he said he didn’t think it was a big deal and thought Sarah could just take an Uber. That response broke her heart.
