"I never wanted kids, but my husband pressured me"
A cousin of mine once told me this. She couldn't get pregnant and her husband pressured her into adopting two kids. Then he divorced her about a year after they adopted the 2nd child.
Asshole.
I felt really badly for her - and since I never wanted children myself, I was likely way more sympathetic than most people would have been. I imagine the typical response would be, "But think of all the joy they've brought into your life! Aren't you glad you had them?!?" Followed by shocked condemnation if she replied, "Well, no, not really."
