“My wife received blood transfusion while in labour without my permission; my religion doesn’t allow it” – Man

A man has sparked intense debate on social media after sharing a deeply personal account of how a medical decision taken during his wife’s childbirth has strained their marriage.

In a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, the man revealed that his wife received a blood transfusion while she was in labour, a decision he said was made without his permission and against his religious beliefs.

According to him, his faith strictly forbids blood transfusions, and he claimed his wife was fully aware of this belief before the incident occurred.

He expressed feelings of betrayal, stating that her decision made him feel disrespected and sidelined in a matter he considers spiritually significant.

The man explained that although their baby is now two months old, he has struggled emotionally since the birth.

He said that each time he looks at the child, he is reminded of the blood transfusion, an experience he described as deeply distressing.

He further admitted that the situation has affected his ability to bond with his own child, adding that he finds it difficult to carry the baby because of the lingering emotional pain tied to the incident.

The post also revealed that the disagreement has taken a serious toll on their marriage. The man stated that the issue has “badly affected” their relationship and that he no longer feels like continuing the marriage.

Despite this, he noted that his wife has been pleading for forgiveness, urging him to consider their child and the future of their family.

Torn between his religious convictions, emotional struggles, and parental responsibilities, the man said he is uncertain about what steps to take next.

His post ended with a plea for advice, prompting widespread reactions online, with users offering mixed opinions ranging from empathy for his faith to concern for the medical realities surrounding childbirth and the wellbeing of both mother and child.

“My wife received a blood transfusion while she was in labour without my permission.

My religion does not allow blood transfusion and my wife knows this.

I feel she did not respect my faith and went against it.

Our baby is now two months old, but whenever I look at the child, I keep thinking about the blood transfusion.

I struggle to carry my own baby because of what my wife did.

This issue has badly affected our marriage, and I no longer feel like continuing the relationship.

My wife has been begging me to forgive her. For the sake of our child, I don’t know what to do. Please advise.”
