To be sad husband didn’t care I’d gone to A&E

I went to A&E last night in excruciating pain, he’d witnessed this in bed whilst I tried to manage the pain at home, I told him I was going to head to A&E at 2am and he said ok and rolled over. I went and had emergency surgery but I didn’t hear from him till the morning.

Thankfully he's 25 years and thousands of miles behind her now. And she's happily remarried to a proper man.

Great!

OP I felt sick reading your post. I'm so sorry you had to go through that without the support and care of your 'D'H.

I have been through similar, my abusive ex DP left me for dead when I was taken ill and never even checked up on me in hospital. Turns out he was busy with OW and he 'had to consider her feelings' and so never contacted me again.

Please please never go back to this man. You deserve so much better than such inhumane treatment.

I hope you feel better soon.

He knew he was putting her in danger by letting her drive, didn't he? Just like he knew something was seriously wrong with her but didn't offer to take her to A&E, or call for help, he also knew that when she took charge of matters she could easily have crashed the car. He KNEW this, and he chose it.

This situation reminds me of my friend, who was living in a remote part of rural Australia with her then husband. She got blood poisoning from an infected cut. Her whole arm swelled up, the veins in her hand were turning black. They both knew perfectly well that without urgent antibiotics she'd be dead - he'd had similar happen to him not long before. And yet he refused to drive her to hospital. She had to drive herself, steering one-handed, changing gear and using the handbrake by reaching across her body with her good arm. Not long after that she discovered he was having an affair. He wanted her to die so she'd be out of his way.

Pure evil.

That is absolutely shocking. I hope your friend recovered well. I remember the look of hope on my abusive ex DPs face when my mental health was so poor that I was in real danger of doing something.......... He looked excited at the fact I might be out of the way of him and OW. Just inhumane.
