DH told me “there’s no point in crying” after seizure

I’ve had repeated seizures over the last 2 weeks. I’ve never had them before and I’m frightened.

i was in hospital for 2 days just before Christmas but wanted to go and see my mum on Christmas Eve. When I got there I was crying and he said “what’s the point in crying?” In front of my family.

I had another seizure Christmas Day and he told me that I just needed fresh air and to eat something and that I needed to “want” to get well

Had a further seizure 29th December and was in A&E. I was sitting there sobbing whilst he was on his phone. When he saw me he said “what are you crying for?” When I said I didn’t feel well he said “there’s no point in crying” and “stay positive”

hes just said his “life has been on pause for 2 weeks because of your illness”. Then he was saying he’s not allowed to be tired or complain about his cold because my seizures “are the main talking point”. He said “the world doesn’t stop because you might have epilepsy”

aibu to reconsider my marriage? Am I being OTT or is this entirely heartless from DH?

Back at my mums with DC. This is end of the marriage for me

Good. This man does not deserve an ounce of anything you have to give.

This goes against what I said previously, which allowed for a bit of understanding for his reaction initially.
A separation is needed at the very least right, he cannot think this is in any way okay to treat you like this.

I'm so sorry this is happening at a time when you need his support. We are all here to listen and help in any way we can. X
