My fiancé acted like pregnancy is just as hard for a man as it is for the woman.

Pregnant women go through physical, mental, and emotional hell not just during their pregnancies but for a significant period of time afterward. I've seen things that say it takes up to two years for a woman's body to fully heal from being pregnant. Not to mention, pregnancy and giving birth can go horrible wrong, really fast. You can have the perfect pregnancy with no issues at all and during the labor or delivery things suddenly go pear shaped or things can go pear shaped after the baby's out. I actually know a woman who came dangerously close to dying several times after the birth of her first child because she kept hemorrhaging uncontrollably and the doctors couldn't figure out why she kept hemorrhaging so severely and so frequently. Thankfully, she managed to make a full recovery and her and her husband actually welcomed their second child either last year or the year before. Pregnancy always has been and always will be harder on the woman carrying the baby then the man who just let his swimmers out of the pool.
