Ex Demands Sonogram Photos After Ignoring Her Miscarriage

A woman’s ex completely ignored her during a devastating miscarriage because he was giving her the silent treatment over jealousy. A year later, he had the audacity to demand she share the sonogram photos with him and discuss what happened at the hospital.

The Original Post

I (32f) dated my ex (33m) for two years. During that time, our relationship was very difficult. One weekend, he was mad at me because he thought that a man was trying to flirt with me when we were at a store. So he refused to speak to me the entire weekend. We did not live together full time. That Saturday, I found out I was expecting but also losing said expectation at the same time. I tried to call him from the hospital and he ignored my call so my best friend called him and he did answer for her. She told him what was going on. She lives out of state. He didn’t reach out to me or come to the hospital. I did not hear from him until the following Tuesday. Needless to say, I never got over that and we broke up shortly thereafter. He never apologized and said the β€œproblem took care of itself.”

Now, a year later, he reached out and wants to see the sonogram photos and talk to me about what happened at the hospital. I declined and told him that due to his actions that weekend, he did not deserve any further information or to see the photos. He flipped out and called me every name in the book. So I must ask y’all. AITA?

What Reddit Said

Reddit users were absolutely furious on OP’s behalf. The top comment pointed out that her ex is clearly just using this as an excuse to worm his way back into her life. Moreover, commenters were disgusted by his callous comment that “the problem took care of itself” regarding the pregnancy loss.

Many Redditors emphasized that he forfeited any right to information when he abandoned her during such a traumatic experience. In fact, users praised OP for standing her ground and refusing his manipulative request.

The Verdict

The overwhelming consensus: OP is Not the Asshole (NTA). When an ex wants sonogram photos after ignoring a miscarriage, it’s clearly manipulative behavior. This is a classic case of toxic relationship patterns where someone tries to control the narrative after causing harm. Reddit advised OP to block him completely and never look back.
