Excellence -“I would not risk my marriage on such thin ice. Such a wife could turn on you at any moment. They make for dangerous inlaws too. Unfortunately, I’ve seen it before.”

Health – “You’re right when it comes to women; but the OP was talking about a guy!”

LU -“Why should it be different for men?”

Health- “You yourself just brought down a case in the topic called Obamacare etc., that a woman seeked an abortion for emotional problems!

That’s why!!!”

The discussion here was about the wife “turning on her husband”. The issue in the other thread was about a women who was unable to manage all the additional work involved with an additional baby.

1. That doesn’t necessarily mean that she would turn on her husband. Is your point that you think that women are more likely to “turn on their husbands” because they are under more stress?

In that case, that should be stated. Otherwise, it sounds like you think that there is something in women’s genetic makeup that makes them more likely to “turn on their husbands”.

2. I don’t see why this would only apply to women. A man could also find the additional baby to be stressful. Maybe the financial burden is too much pressure for him, or maybe his wife needs a lot of help, etc. Or besides for a baby, there could be other factors in a man’s life that he might find as stressful as this lady found having a baby. I once went out with a twice-divorced guy who told me that he isn’t planning on having kids the next time around becaus he can’t afford to pay any more child-support. (no, I’m not kidding. yes, that was the last date).

side point: it wasn’t actually an abortion. It was a less-complicated and less-halachically problematic procedure.
