Is it okay for a man to leave state while his baby is on the way?

What are your thoughts on a father leaving his baby's mother and unborn not long before the due date? To be putting himself first in that situation- under any circumstance in that particular area. Real thoughts and genuine feedback would be appreciated.

Would probably depend on why he is leaving

@Bubbles Let's say, 30 days before a due date, allegedly he leaves to "work on himself"

@Glothic seems a little strange for sure. Possibly just freaking out over the responsibility that is coming his way. Very selfish for sure, but I would say more a sign of immaturity, thus wouldn't condemn him for it.

@Bubbles Undoubtedly.

@Bubbles Though, the mother doesn't get that luxury.. having a kicking, stretching baby inside of you that you'll have to endure excruciating pain to get out, is much scarier than just being there and taking part of the responsibility of baby. Baby is the new obligation.. and if you do not view them as a priority at this time, you probably never will because that's just demeanor.
