I’m so confused about what the “abuse” even is in this situation. Not continuing to pay for Becky’s every whim indefinitely? Expecting Becky to change a diaper every once in a while instead of bringing an assortment of men she found on Fetlife to the same home their child lives in?
My understanding of baby trapping was it meant stuff like poking holes in condoms or otherwise sabotaging birth control, not paying for years of IVF attempts.
And the Bluesky asspatting brigade is just lapping the nonsense up.
You should be confused, because it is essentially impossible to "baby trap" a woman. Baby trapping by any normal definition is when a woman secretly circumvents birth control to get pregnant by a partner that had no intention of getting her pregnant, then has the baby over the objections of the partner.
I guess you could argue that with the restrictions on abortions in some states, you could sabotage birth control methods as a man, then by the time the woman realizes she's pregnant, the state wouldn't allow her a choice. However, Becky was doing IVF. So no chance in hell that applies.
And of course, from here it’s a short journey to “in order to have this baby, we had sex even when I didn’t want to.” And then she’s firmly within sight of the safe haven of Rape Allegation City.
While you are 100% right that she'll try this because she loves trotting out the RAAAAAAAAPE allegations, IVF involves no sex whatsoever. There's no turkey basting in IVF either, so even that doesn't apply.
For IVF, egg production is stimulated with drugs, eggs are harvested with a procedure, a single sperm gets injected into each egg in a lab, embryos develop a few days, get assessed, then are typically frozen, then there is a procedure to implant an embryo. I guess that could be construed as rape by someone sufficiently insane, but that's some serious post-modern abstract rape.
In Becky's warped mental reality, all consent can be invalidated post-hoc at will, so anything that happened between Daniel and her was definitely rape now. Just like the last time he thought about leaving. When you stick your dick in crazy, and crazy makes post-hoc rape allegations against you, then you go crawling back and fake-marry crazy anyway, and crazy brings up your attempted escape
during the vows (yes, that actually happened).... you really start to feel like Daniel had ample opportunity to figure this out and chose not to.
