AITAH for being resentful toward my husband after he pressured me into having a baby I didn’t want?
She entered marriage with a clear heart and a firm decision: no children.
But love and compromise slowly unraveled that certainty, leaving her caught between the life she envisioned and the life she now lives—one filled with exhaustion, sacrifice, and a quiet, aching loss of self.

It’s a poignant story of love’s complexities and the silent struggles hidden behind smiles and lullabies.
