I have a scientific mind. So yes I would. But does he? That is a question only he can answer. Ask him. Odds are he will tell you that he is just there to hold your hand and let you know everything is going to be OK.

Define rude. That is on the person. Some men would say yes, some would say no. Knowing most men, I would say no it is not rude.

The midwife taking the class was really quite shocked.

Darling, the midwife, or berther always acts shocked. It happens. It is what they do. If they have been in the game long enough, there is nothing that they have not seen.

I mean, if you're not interested, don't come.

He is going to come even if he is not interested, because he loves you. You asked him to go right. Yeah you did or he would not be there. Even if you said. "Honey, do you want to go to this?" He took it as go or no more food beer or sex. It is how things are.

But don't be so rude that you sit there and blatantly read a book in front of a woman who is spending her time trying to teach you about the process in which your child is going to be born.

I hate to be mean or rude, but would you rather him sleep? Because I am sure he would rather be sleeping.
He is there supporting you by being there. Be thankful for that. Many men would have simply said no. He is showing his love simply by taking time out of his day by being there learning about something he will not even be a part of.

And all the other guys in the class can work it out - I'm sure they're your everyday average guy.

There are no everyday average guys. We are all individuals, just as you women are. We all do our own things for our own reasons. He is there, be thankful. If he said no, then you would have a reason to be mad.

They were all so angry about it - you could tell by the way they were looking at him.

Guys know their surroundings. They all knew their wives were watching them while they were watching him.

There's only 12 to a class.

Honestly, from everything you've written here I cannot imagine you doing such a thing, and being so disrespectful not only to your wife, but to the person running the class.

As I said. I am interested in science. This is a science. I love to learn, some men don't. I pay attention when I think I may learn something. Some men don't. It does not mean he does not care about you, or your child. It just means that he may MAY feel useless at this point. Because up until the kid is born, most of us feel useless.
Well except the going out to get ice cream in the middle of the night.
If you want him involved, get him involved. Let him know that his role is important. But do not force him, or he may shy.
Regardless of what you read in Cosmo, we men are complex animals.
