To think my husband is an areshole

Yesterday our son fractured his knee and is having emergency surgery on Monday. DH was on the way to the airport when I found out surgery was happening. I called him to get our health insurance info and briefly explain the surgery. A hurried call as we were at the doctors office and they were waiting for the insurance policy info. DS ( 12) had a massive panic attack at the mention of surgery and it was a hugely stressful morning. The next comms I get from DH is a what’s app phots of a plate of nice food and a large glass of wine with the simple message ‘ ahh business class lounge is nice’. AIBU to feel utterly fucked off…. No enquiry after our son, so seeing if I was ok ( tearful mess), no offer to not go away and come home and be around for the surgery. He was flying off not on work but to see friends……

I'm going to be honest... I wouldn't see knee surgery as a big deal. Certainly not something to cancel a prior commitment for if there's another adult taking care of it.

He's a frightened 12 year old and op has 2 other children to take care of. My dh can be pretty selfish (mostly about work) but he would immediately come home in these circumstances. I wouldn't need to ask.
He's behaving awfully op.

How is your son after his surgery?

I hope your son's op was successful and he's on the mend now. Also hope you're getting a chance to relax and recover.
