I can’t seem to get the idea out of his head that they’re not for the father. He refuses to believe that they won’t let him in the tub as well when I’m delivering.”
“My husband has a bit of a bath obsession,” the mum to be wrote “He’ll come home from work and disappear into the tub for anywhere from 30 minutes to one or two hours.””We toured the hopital I was to deliver in this past week to make sure it was the right fit,” she added.
“I asked him at the end of the tour what he thought of the tour and the only thing he thought of to say was that the tubs were nice… he couldn’t wait to get into them.”
But when Carly told Jeff that the tub was for the woman only he was less than understanding.

“He refuses to believe they won’t let him”
“When I informed him the tub was for me to labour in and not for him to bath in he was upset,” she said.
“I can’t seem to get the idea out of his head that he can’t take a bath in the tubs and they’re not for the father,” Carly continued.
“He also refuses to believe that they won’t let him in the tub as well when I’m delivering.”
“He’s acting like I’m being unreasonable on this one but even my family seem to agree with me,” Carly concluded.
Naturally, others were equally disgusted by the husband’s weird request. “I’ve heard of plenty of fathers being in the birthing tub while the mother gives birth. I still think it’s disgusting,” one person commented.
“There are all kinds of fluids happening in that tub, so why would anyone volunteer to sit in someone else’s bodily fluid? Just no.”
“This level of fixation with a bath needs professional help since it’s negatively affecting you guys,” another suggested.
Carly later informed the group that due to Jeff’s weird fetishes, she and her husband have since separated.
“Some of you Redditors really did pick up on some underline issues and really helped open my eyes,” she wrote. “My child is now here and doing very well, my husband however was not welcomed for the birth and never got his PRECIOUS tub time.”
