Does anyone of you here heard such statement from your husband or just from anyone? Would you say such word to your wife during the times when she and your kid needed you most? Let me elaborate, The wife and kid were leaving separately with the husband/father not because they are legally separated but because of the latter's work. The daughter was very sickly and most often, even the mother was working, 8-5, she single-handled the responsibility of taking care of her daughter depriving her of little rest. She reached out to her husband not for financial support but rather for the emotional support. Maybe, to help her feel better knowing that she wasn't alone. that even they are far,she has her husband's support for them. She was asking a little word or two to comfort her grieving heart. But all he told him was that???!!!

By birth no one is father or husband, mother or wife, but after becoming father and husband, it is not a manly to say such words!!! it is escapism from reality and responsibility. Cowards will utter such words!!!

I guess, you are one brave man, my dear. I wouldn't expect to hear such words from you.:-) You speak the truth. It is a mere escape or alibi for not taking responsibilities. thanks.:-)

this is a man's way of saying "I don't have anything to do with you,so I'll go away".if that's the case,then the man shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.marriage is a whole lot of work,more so with having kids.with that instance,it is better that the wife doesn't expect any support of any kind from the father.even moral support will not be given to her.turn to family and friends instead.
