"He is not minimizing the role of Steph's mom in her life. He says we were going through a miscarri*ge. She was in physical pain, and he was also going through the pain of loss with her. The mom's situation made him feel useless. He wished they would go through it together, as a wife and husband should. We unmarried ones sometimes fail to comprehend such things, and that's ok, but maybe we shouldn't bash things we have not experienced."

"He didn’t love her. He cared more about his ego than her."

"It's not like he never wanted her mother to come through, but what he actually needed was for his wife to appreciate his support, Simple."

"I get him, but nothing can replace a mother’s love. He’s trying to fill shoes no one could ever fill."

"I’m a 37-year-old happily married woman with 2 kids, and I fully feel for this guy and understand his side of the story. May the living God give his wisdom and strength to overcome this situation. Why do we always judge guys when they share their journey? My prayer is for the couple to find their love again. May God restore everything that the enemy has stolen and killed."

Lebogang said:

"The comments. You guys don't care about men’s feelings. Every time, it must be women with valid reasons, not men. Why? If they express how they felt, no, he has an ego."

"He's hurt, I'm so glad he's speaking up. Men are abused in marriages, and they keep quiet about it. Speak, my brother, speak."
