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.

Are you still in hospital? Do you have other family or friends who can help you? If not, please speak to the ward staff to get assistance.

No I don’t think there is any saving this now. It’s been a bit rocky for a while, well it’s fine as long as I pretend I’m happy with the issues, but the minute I raise anything he is cold.

No excuse for his behavior OP. He really could not care less. Good luck with moving on to a better life

ditch the loser @Foxandsocks he is not worthy of you.

can I be super nosy and ask what the surgery was? I hope you are on the road to recovery and you have some support
to heal?

Drove myself whilst screaming and crying. Sounds dramatic but never felt anything like it.

He is annoyed that I’ve challenged him, and said that women shouldn’t challenge men if they want to be treated like a woman, hence why he’ll treat me like a man now.

This is undoubtedly LTB territory. I hope you are feeling better now, you poor love.

Sunflower1650 · 19/11/2025 19:34

I am so sorry this happened. After reading your updates about what he’s said to you afterwards you need to leave the twat. Divorce him. He sounds absolutely vile.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 19/11/2025 19:36

I’m so sorry to hear this Op - this is awful

olympicsrock · 19/11/2025 19:37

Totally rubbish

Beyond the obviously nasty intent behind what he said, I can’t actually even understand what it’s supposed to mean!

But you definitely need to divorce him - both for the original ignoring of your pain and the follow up comment.

MellowPinkDeer · 19/11/2025 19:38

I cannot actually believe what I have read. @Foxandsocksi hope you’re ok and I hope you’ll dump that piece of shit because no one needs a husband like this! What an actual arse.

TwinkleTwinkleLittleBatgirl · 19/11/2025 19:39

Wtf @Foxandsocks shittiest arse he is ! a total custard! CUnt baSTARD!!
sending you well wishes.

Emma6cat · 19/11/2025 19:39

Oh that’s sad. The one person who should comfort you and look after you is the one person who makes you feel unloved and uncared for. Hard pill to swallow, especially after just having surgery and feeling like crap anyway. I’m afraid you need to get some self respect and toss him in the trash. You deserve better.

hazelnutvanillalatte · 19/11/2025 19:39

dairydebris · 19/11/2025 19:21

So you've left him. Right?

Maybe wait for her to recover from her surgery??

SuperMix · 19/11/2025 19:40

No get rid. You deserve so much better

ghostwhisper · 19/11/2025 19:42

I would do more for a neighbour then he would do for you, I would drive them and stay/go home and get stuff for them
what a piece of shit

scoobysnaxx · 19/11/2025 19:44

What an absolute POS.
there is something very cruel about men who seem to have no sympathy for women going through anything.

DIVORCE!!!

SweetMotherofAbrahamLincoln · 19/11/2025 19:44

Get rid of him my girl, he’s a gobshite and doesn’t care about you

So, would he let his male friend to drive himself in such situation? I think not.
He treated you like a woman: ignore andd minimise her pain.

czechitout · 19/11/2025 19:47

and I wish you quick recovery.

EwwSprouts · 19/11/2025 19:48

Most of us would drive a friend or neighbour in that state to hospital, even early hours of the morning if an ambulance wasn't coming. He really is a piece of work. Take care OP.

What does that even mean?!

Hes annoyed because you’ve challenged him - are you serious!

OP this is shocking!

Its not good that he didn’t care about the A&E visit but his attitude towards you is absolutely vile!

Who’s home is it?
If it’s his and you have somewhere to stay then I’d pack a bag and leave today.

No way would I spend 1 more day with someone who doesn’t even like me, let alone respects me.

Foxandsocks · 19/11/2025 19:48

I texted my mum with the info I’ve put in here and she’s said to come home when I leave the hospital. So I’ll go to hers and leave him to it.

You should not be sad, you should be furious. You are living with someone who hates you and all women - he sounds awful and nasty. I dont think you should continue living with him.

I think it’s fair to say you have a ton of moral support here. Keep us posted. We’ve virtually got your back
