I've recently had to start using a wheelchair when I'm out and about. I can't go out by myself as I can't drive at present and couldn't get the wheelchair out of the car by myself anyway. I rely on my dh to take me out.
I can self propel myself for a while but get tired quite quickly, so dh pushes me for most of the time.
He pushes me in a wheelchair like he drives which is a bit aggressive, like he always has right of way and everyone in front is moving too slowly. I sit in the wheelchair cringing. Thinking I'm going to bash into people.
We were doing a little bit of grocery shopping and dh was getting irritated by people getting in the way of my wheelchair and basically ignoring me/treating me like I was invisible.
At the checkout the woman behind us kept banging in to dh with her trolley and nudging past him as she tried to unload it. There wasn't anywhere he could move to, to get out of deer way. She was being a bit of a twat and impatient. We packed up our small amount of shopping, paid and just before we left, he turned me round and aggressively thrust me towards this woman in annoyance at her behaviour.
I shouted at dh "Oi what are you doing?"
I told him he was out of order. I'm not a bloody shopping trolley and to please not use me as a weapon to vent his anger at some random person, regardless of how they were behaving.
He asked if he had embarrassed me. I was mortified but I lied and said no and told him he is the one who should be embarrassed.
He tried to make light of it and justify it because he was hangry. He has apologised but is still joking about it.
