I had the same experience with DS, I was so utterly let down by Dp that I DID kick him out of the birth suite for the next one.
Well I very nearly did. I was absolutley NOT having him there again, so I got a doula, saw her on my own, gave him ALL the reasons why he couldn't be there. When he saw how serious I was he was quite upset and begged me to be there, which I ended up allowing ONLY because my Doula was there and she was aware of the situation with him. He was to leave the room the MOMENT he p!ssed me off.
My doula ended up supporting him to support me and it was just brilliant, he still cant stop raving on about how wonderful I am, he felt terrific that he could help me meaningfully.
In any case if you feel so strongly, show him you do. It might give him cause to see what you are on about. I would NEVER risk having my birth experience marred by the one person I thought I could count on...
