My husband ignores my calls while I'm in labour. So we tell him I died in childbirth.

My husband and I got into a fight prior to my daughter's birth a week ago, when he casually

suggested a paternity test for our daughter when she was born. To be clear, this was completely

out of the blue with no wanting or reason. I'm a home body who works remotely,

I also opted for a hysterectomy, as it came to that or something more dangerous. I only ever

bond with my daughter, but it's been hard. The point is that during this, while I was returning

from surgery, 10 hours after I called him, my husband finally responded and asked why I hadn't

answered his call. However, my brother had my phone and was so angry that he said,

this is brother's name,
