“Recently, while I was advising a friend, I asked her why she was eating so little. In the end, my husband actually said, ‘She’s not like you, with such a big appetite‘.

She also said that she only ate two meals a day.
Said husband only gave her an egg during confinement
The woman further claimed that during her confinement period, her husband only gave her an egg to eat.
After being hurt by his words, she said she became so angry that she threw away the breast milk she had pumped.
She then asked her husband to buy baby formula for their child.
Looking back, she admitted that she regretted doing so, saying that the child was innocent.
Reminded others to choose partners carefully
The woman also reminded others to choose their partners carefully, saying they should not end up like her, with no income and being looked down on by their spouse.
Many netizens sympathised with her experience and advised her to seek help from family and close friends.
