“We waited for three years” — Man runs away from home to avoid sleepless nights with newborn

A man has sparked widespread reactions after a colleague claimed he temporarily left his family home because he could no longer cope with the constant crying of his three-week-old baby.

According to the colleague, the man and his wife had waited three years before welcoming their first child, making the baby’s birth a moment of great joy for the family.

However, the excitement gave way to exhaustion after the baby’s arrival, with the new father struggling to adjust to sleepless nights caused by the newborn’s frequent crying.

Colleague reveals why father left home

Sharing the story, the colleague said the man admitted he had been spending his nights at a friend’s house rather than at home.

The colleague said, “He told me he hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep since his wife gave birth.”

According to the account, instead of explaining the situation to his wife, the man told her he had been working extra hours so he could sleep elsewhere while she cared for the baby alone.

The revelation has raised concerns about the emotional and physical demands of caring for a newborn, particularly for first-time parents adjusting to major lifestyle changes.

Story sparks debate on parenting responsibilities

The account has generated mixed reactions online, with many social media users criticising the man’s decision to leave his wife to handle the newborn alone despite their long journey to parenthood.

Others acknowledged that sleep deprivation can be overwhelming for new parents but stressed that open communication and shared responsibility are essential during the early weeks after childbirth.

The story has also reignited discussions about the importance of supporting both mothers and fathers as they navigate the challenges of caring for a newborn.
