Toxicrelationshipsare never good for anyone involved. However, these red flags are not always noticed on time, and even when they are, there is a decent chance they might also get ignored, which eventually creates some tricky situations.
One Redditor recently shared about one of these situations. His wife, who was pregnant with their daughter at the time, was very irritable, insecure, and easily angered. But for all her terrible treatment, theoverworkedhusband was still pulling through, up until she decided to test his loyalty, too. Scroll down to read the full story!

When the husband came home and was told about the ‘test,’ he got mad and started to consider asking his wife to move out despite her hugs and apologies
The woman often gotangryand irritated over the smallest things and never hesitated to insult her husband. For example, she would often ask for certain meals, eat everything, and then tell her husband that it tasted absolutely horrible.
When he returned home afterrejectingthat friend, the pregnant woman came over with hugs and apologies, telling him that he had passed the test. But the OP was mad, and he started to consider asking her to move out.
The commenters had mixed feelings about the matter. While most agreed that the poster’s situation was terrible and he was right to want to get out of it, many felt that making a pregnant woman move out just like that would be kind of a jerk move. However, some were also quick to write down the wife’s behavior due topregnancyhormones and attempted to justify her actions.

Nick went further, questioning whether the author had been treated this way from the start, saying that in cases of low self-esteem, people often ignore or even are unaware of the red flags because they are desperate for love and affection. “‘Being tested’ like that is, in itself, a massive breach of trust… She sounds very insecure, and it makes me wonder whether she has cheated or had an affair herself; is she projecting her own thoughts and behaviors onto him?”

But before making any harsh decisions, the expert suggested that the man vocalize his feelings to his wife and ask himself, “Is this relationship in a hospice or hospital?”
“If it’s the former, then a swift and clean divorce should take place with as little collateral damage as possible. If it’s the latter, then couples counseling or coaching might be worth a shot. Sadly, as a professional coach myself, I am doubtful that much can be done for their relationship.”
The commenters had mixed opinions, with some supporting the husband and others defending the wife while writing off her behavior as pregnancy hormones
