I have found over the years that we tend to hold to the premise that what is right for us, is also right for everyone else. This leads to heated debates as evidenced by the discussion boards on the internet about Doulas. Some men prefer football. Some men are taught from a young age to guard and protect their woman. Some men miss out on that training and try their darndest to learn it on their own.
Some men are extremely excited to be having a baby.
Some men are in denial. Some men love their partner. Some men feel trapped in this relationship and wish they could be any place else. Some men are offended at the idea of her best friend being in the delivery room. Some men wish they could be at the office.
