My husband said that no man wants a daughter

r/

The other week me(f22) and my fiancé (m26) got into a pretty big argument. On the way back from grocery shopping future children were brought up, I mentioned how I’d love to have a little girl. Instead of agreeing or saying something joyful, he quickly said how he’d be disappointed and how he’d want a son. I knew he’d always wanted a son but I didn’t think a daughter would be a disappointment. He then compared a daughter to a son like, “ getting a handmedown automatic car compared to a manual new car”. I guess he sees daughters as inferior?
We went on for a bit, when I asked why he really wanted a son, he said, “ I don’t want my bloodline to end, and if I have a daughter it’ll end with her with my family name”. I was speechless, he’s not royalty or anything so I’m not sure where bloodline is considered important.
We reached home and I ignored him for a bit, it then blew up again, I tried to be reasonable and maybe come to a resolution, he kept shouting and mocking me. It reached a pinnacle where he shouted, “what fucking man wants a daughter”. I walked out the house because I had some unsavoury things I wanted to yell. I left to go to work, and whilst driving I received a barrage of texts saying how he’s cutting my car off the insurance since I’m being so childish. That evening he apologised and I thought we’d made some progress when it comes to communication.

Flash forward a week later, I’m at work doing my thing when I receive a message from him saying how the cars battery is dead( context I have two cars, he has one, his car was at the garage so he’s been borrowing one of mine for a couple weeks), I spoke with my coworker, and she said as it’s quiet I can finish early so he can get my other car so he can get to work. We then did some talking and he agreed that if I head back early he’d run me back to work so I don’t miss out on hours. My coworker was also happy to drop me off at home. He messaged me saying if I head home now he can drop me off back at work. So I head home and call him once I’m outside. I said, “hey honey, I’m outside, where are you?” He snapped at me saying, “im nowhere near ready you come inside I’m not coming out”. Despite my inner urge to just drive back to work after that attitude, I park up, call to him when I’m in the house and sit down on the sofa to wait. Ten minutes pass and he storms down the stairs, sees me, snaps at me saying “ jeez thanks for the help, nice of you to help me when I’m in the pinch”. I’m very confused, by his attitude and also the fact that letting him use both my cars is not considered helping in a pinch?? We got in the car I’m baffled, try and ask calmly why he’s so worked up. I’m the barked at with words along the lines of, I’m going to be late for work, you don’t even help me, I had to rush to shave, you could’ve packed my lunch whilst I’m getting ready. I was genuinely shocked. He then continued to yell at me in the car and mock me. I just don’t get how he doesn’t see how weird he’s being.

Whenever we have arguments like this he always ends up making me feel like it’s my fault for not always being able to know what’s going on. I know I’m far from perfect and I make mistakes. But I would never treat him how he’s treating me at the moment. I feel like I’m always on egg shells, and everything I do is being scrutinised by him and judged. And that no matter what I’m doing it’s not enough for him. I just don’t know if he’s really being an ah or if I’m just being over sensitive. Am I the AH?

    Please do not have a child with this man. If you end up having a daughter she will be traumatized. I am not sure if you didn’t see all these red flags before getting married but honestly I would be thinking about divorce. These issues are core values.

    He sounds like he is – but let me tell you, hopefully you can take a little comfort in this. Although I didn’t express it in the way that your husband did, as a man who grew up without sisters, when my wife was pregnant with our first child I didn’t just want a boy, I fully assumed it was going to be a boy and never really contemplated having a girl.

    From the moment she was born I was a changed man – she’s now 20 and I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it.

    Please, please, please do not have a child with this man. If you have daughters he will let them know how worthless and disappointed he is with them when he’s not ignoring their existent. If you happen to have a daughter and a son, the son will be the favored golden child and the daughter will be trash in his eyes.

    His obvious bias against female children and his outburst, I think you need to reconsider the whole relationship. If you always feel you are on egg shells, that’s not healthy and doesn’t sound safe, TBF.

  17. Resident_Newspaper18 Avatar

    DEFINITELY NTA. He’s completely wrong for acting that way towards you, and he’s the one in fact acting childish. Is their anything that could be stressing him out in his life that could be causing this change in behaviour? Or is this genuinely his normal behaviour but heightened?
    I guess my advice would be to sit him down and explain to him how him lashing out isn’t fair and to see if there’s a way that you can come to an understanding. Also, his view on having a daughter is a huge red flag.
    Wishing you the best, you dont deserve to put up with that

    No, NTA, you are clearly not a mind reader. I can’t believe you told him you’re wishing for a daughter and he wants to cut off your car insurance. Why would you even want to have a child with this person? He sounds so unkind and difficult to live with And very unhappy. What a miserable person. Help me understand, but why do you even stay with him?

  20. Tyrian-Purple Avatar

    RUN.

    NTA, but you are if you stay with him.

    He is already being a terrible husband, and he will be a terrible father to any child, female or male, that you might have. If you don’t love yourself enough to not stay married to someone like this, then at least love your hypothetical future children enough to not burden them with a lifetime of such a horrible, nasty individual as a father, nor his genes.

    Right now, you’re at the point where you can still cut your losses without any permanent link to him. But once you have children, that’s over. And even then, you might someday be able to escape and move on with your life, but your children never will, because they can’t change who their mother chose for them as as their biological father.

    Save yourself from a future of almost guaranteed hurt, anger, insults, rudeness and pain, and choose a life with someone kind, loving and decent.

    And finally, think of that sweet little girl you dream of having. Why be so cruel to her to give her this knuckle-dragging boor as a father, instead of someone who would love and protect her, and a father filled with joy that she’s in his life?!

    We have 2 daughters now, 22 and 20 years. I’ve been a soccer coach for both of them and are very close to them. They have given me nothing but joy.

    A lot of fathers want daughters. But, the most important point is that i would have been delighted no matter what gender they were. Children are to me the ultimate happiness.

    perhaps he had an inarticulate way of phrasing things… I believe while most parents are happy with whatever they get, most parents want to see a little version of themselves. Women want a daughter, men want a son, although they’re (in most cases) happy with whatever they get. My mother only had boys. I know she would have liked to have a daughter. It doesn’t mean she loves me or my brothers any less.

    this is one of those things about having children which people oftentimes will not admit. sort of like having a “favorite child”. Of course, no parent is going to admit they prefer one child over another, but if they are honest with themselves (and others) they would admit they have one child who touches their heart more than others. Not that they love their other children any less.

    Naturally, we’re also not taking into account cultural differences, where in some cultures having a son is “preferred” over having a girl.

  37. teusbastos Avatar

    You’re not being over-sensitive. You’re being emotionally steamrolled. He insulted the idea of your future daughter, yelled at you for not being psychic, mocked you for helping, and tried to financially punish you for having feelings. That’s not just AH behavior… that’s manipulative. This doesn’t sound like a partner. It sounds like a warning sign.

  38. Glum-Speed867 Avatar

    This reminds me of something I saw in a post once. It said something along the lines of “fathers lose their mind a little bit when they realise their daughters aren’t as forgiving as their wives.” Then someone replies and says “husbands lose their minds a little bit when they realise their wives aren’t as forgiving as their mothers.”

    So OP, is this something you want to procreate with? Personally that sounds like you will have 2 children if you have another with your husband

  39. Strong-Mood-574 Avatar

    He needs some therapy. He has some serious misogynistic tendencies that are shared with wife beaters. It didn’t look any different than what you describe. Until it got violent. Please. Think about that before continuing this long term. Please. Alot of young men have been warped by a constant stream of misinformation coming from people they trust. Gaming culture is pretty down on females too, so it sneaks in under the radar at first. That’s why it’s such an issue when it wasn’t getting worse for awhile, now it is again. They get it from alot of directions these days.

    99% of men would weep tears of joy if they had a daughter. Not only does he think daughters are inferior, he thinks women are inferior. Ergo, he thinks you’re inferior. And that’s exactly how he’s treating you. You leave work to chauffer him and he treats you like that?? Girl. I don’t even know you and I know he doesn’t deserve you. PLEASE let this man-child’s “bloodline” die. In fact, it sounds like he’s contributing nothing not just to your happiness, but to humanity or society, too. Put this man outside so he can die on the street with a needle in his arm like he deserves. The sooner the better. He’s taking up oxygen and nutrients that decent kind human beings could be using.

    Look into what makes a relationship health and what makes it unhealthy. Yours is insanely u healthy.

    Red flags seen from space.

  47. yeoldladyhidro Avatar

    Okay so let’s tick off the red flags for abuse:

    • Threatened to cut off your car insurance over differing opinions on what you hope the gender of future children MIGHT be = FINANCIAL ABUSE
    • Has more than implied he thinks women are inferior in how he spoke of the potential of having a daughter and not valuing the time you took out of work to assist him in his vehicle bind, THEN told you off for not making HIM his lunch = MISOGYNIST
    • Zero amount of humble gratefulness as you seem to be allowing him to take both of cars? Did I misunderstand that? His broke down. He used the other. The battery died, so you DROVE BACK HOME to allow him to use your remaining vehicle? And then he had the nerve to make it seem you were the reason HE was going to be late for work and was griping at you from the moment you got there (after leaving your own job).

    THEN, he apologizes. But probably not really. And makes YOU think like it’s your fault he has these absolutely absurd reactions to minor things. He doesn’t value your wants needs or opinions. He clearly believes men are superior, and he holds any financial support or input he provides above you, like a carrot on a stick.

    That isn’t a healthy partner. In any sense of the word. This all sounds like abusive and control behaviors. I would strongly hope you reconsider entering an actual marriage with this yahoo.

    OP, NTA.

    First of all, bloodlines tend to end with men because the X chromosome is carried forward by males and females whereas the Y is carried only by men.

    Secondly, the sperm determines the sex.

    Thirdly, is he your husband or fiancé?

    Fourthly, I want pizza

    Filthy, he’s displaying some really archaic thinking.

    Sixthly, while most of the time, parents say all sorts of things and then love their child when s/he’s born, in this case dont take the risk. Leave him and dont get pregnant.

    You buried the lead. Wanting a daughter or a son is superficial to how he handled his stress when all you were doing was trying to help.

Let him get some help and be a better partner for his next relationship.

    Girl dad here. Always wanted a girl also wanted a boy. Got multiple girls instead. Hes factually false as some men do want daughters

    I do in part get the bloodline thing. My family name will essentially die with me as the sole male of my generation and who fathered all girls unless one chooses to keep it and gives it to my grandkids the name dies with me. My wife pointed out that fact. Its a minor bummer but its ok its not the “legacy” i put value in anyway

    My bio father was a PoS his father was also. My “legacy” is to restore the family name by hopefully being a good man and good father to my girls. If they can look back and think fondly of the life i gave them and lessons i imparted than i consider my legacy fulfilled and the name restored. 

    All that being said guy sounds like he hates women. His analogies paint them as inferior in his mind and thats an issue.

    NTA. Besides the obvious „please don’t have a child with a person like that“, I want to add that when I got pregnant my husband wished for a daughter and was elated when our little girl was born. He would have been happy with a boy too, of course, but he’s so happy to be a girl dad. So yeah, the „no man wants a girl“-argument is utter bs. It’s misogynistic and outdated. My own father wished for two girls (and got them) back in the 90s already btw.

    NTA. The way he talks about a daughter, who would be his own child, is him telling you exactly how he sees you and other women. He is a giant misogynist and will never view you as even an equal human being, much less an equal partner.

    I’d be less worried about passing his bloodline down and more worried about passing his genes down regardless of the child’s sex.

    He sounds like an arsehole.

    think long and hard about a future w this man and a thousand + days living like this w him.

    At any time he could have said thank you so much for coming home. I’m running late, could you make a quick lunch while I’m getting ready? I’ll be done in 10 minutes or less. thank you! I appreciate your help honey.

    imagine the difference. now imagine living w that not nice man. you really signing up for that? not even alluding to the fact he will abuse/neglect a daughter. heaven forbid your kid is LGBTQ +! 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩exit plan time

    He’s been manosphered, and his views are disgusting. You realise his views on daughters are the same views he holds about you and your inferiority to him, right?

    In your position I’d be surprised if I could get over the ick enough in order to make a baby in the first place

    Come on, why is this ok to you? Not even once. This is who he is. He is a man who feels like you are s servant, and women are disposable.
    Divorce.

    Ugh, I really hope this is fake rage bait. Assuming it’s not, he is bad at being a partner and has 0 potential to become a good one. You should get as far from this man as you can, and never look back. Whatever you do, don’t have kids with him.

    Little girls are the best, my little one is my favorite person on the planet. Also girls need great dads, and too many grow up without.

    Your guy sucks, daughters are amazing, and if he can’t truly love and respect his own hypothetical child that’s a girl he will never love and respect an adult woman.

  107. BrutallyHonestMJ Avatar

    You’re NTA. His behavior is incredibly disturbing and you should really reconsider if you actually want to marry and have children with this guy. I would not. These issues get worse after marriage, not better.

    How can you even consider marrying this turd? He should be your ex fiancee and you would be much happier being single.
    Dam your 22 years old, don’t stay in a relationship where you are totally disrespected like this. It doesn’t get any better so get out now.

    You don’t need a baby with this tool. He’s a man baby. Dump him. You’ll have 0 transportation issues and you won’t have to deal with a clueless scrub that doesn’t realize that it’s the male’s sperm that determines the child’s gender at conception anyhow. With his lack of brain cells and total toxic attitude, let’s hope his family line doesn’t go beyond the fly of his jeans.

    As an aside it may be worth pointing out that it would be his swimmers that choose the sex of any of his future children…

    Why are you with this AH? Seriously? I would not hitch my life to someone who talked like this, acted like this, and importantly, treated me like this. Please consider that carefully.

    NTA here, but YTA to yourself.

    And speaking as a man, I loved the idea of having daughters before I had them, still love them after the fact. Huge red flag he talks like that. (like, a real red flag)

    Geez, that is one toxic man. I’d get out of that relationship asap – his behaviour will not get any better with time.

    And as for men not wanting daughters; my husband cried from happiness when we found out we were having a girl.

    Sounds like a pretend alpha male. I have 2 daughters, and they are the light of my life. His statement that no men want daughters is a red flag. End his blood line? Really, what kind of misogynist logic is that? He sounds like an idiot, why did you marry this jerk?

  124. Artistic_Reference_5 Avatar

    YWBTA to yourself if you marry him and have children with him.

    Please call a partner abuse hotline and discuss this. They can help you make a plan to leave if you decide to leave.

    Please read Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft. There’s a free pdf on the internet and the book is in many libraries.

    I understand you have a lot of entanglements with him.

    Everything will get worse if you marry him because then he’ll have you more trapped.

    Then things will get worse again once you have kids. Because you’ll be even more trapped.

    Please please please don’t do it.

    Please take a step back and really evaluate this relationship. This man is abusive. If you have a child with him and it’s a girl, he will abuse her. If you have a boy, they will both abuse you.

    You deserve better!

    NTA. Take both of your cars, all your stuff, and leave this psycho loser. If you’re not already living together, then even better. Just change the locks on your doors. He sounds awful! It’ll stick to have to cancel any wedding plans you’ve already made, but it’s better to get out BEFORE the wedding, then to marry the wrong person and have to deal with a divorce. Good luck, OP. Update us, please.

    Ironically, he rejects the idea of a daughter, but he apparently wants you to be his second Mom. Ps. Daughters are awesome. And just as good at moving a blood line forward. It’s just his name he’s concerned about.

    You need to call this off or your in for a lifetime of this treatment that will most likely escalate. He sounds awful and miserable and like he hates women. Disgusting.
