I need to rant/have some validation!!

On Monday I was hospitalised with gallstones, and I’m not kidding - it’s pain on par with labour 😬 I was there until 1am, back at hospital at 9am for a scan, and had surgery to remove my gallbladder yesterday. Each time I went to hospital I went alone, even though my kids were in nursery Tues/Weds and my parents came up to help care for them. My husband could have come but wanted to work from home instead. So far he’s grumbled about: Missing work Having to look after the kids and dogs Picking me up Having to take the kids on a pre-planned day out (which I’m gutted to miss) Having a sore throat Idk about you, but if my man was in hospital I’d have a whole care package waiting for him. Flowers, snacks, new PJs, hot water bottle, etc. I’d be making him tea, coffee, toast, bringing him his medicine… Literally nothing. No one has even made me a cup of tea or got me a glass of water. In fact he was moaning and groaning all night that his throat hurt while I’m in actual post-surgery pain. It got to the point where I couldn’t listen to him and got up at 5am to try and walk off some of the pain. He didn’t offer to help me downstairs even though I was doubled over, didn’t make sure I was comfortable or ask if I needed anything… he’s still in bed saying he doesn’t need to be in work so he gets a lie in. I’ve had such a rough week and for once I want to be the one to be looked after and spoilt 😭

Like Keyshia Cole said girl "If he ain't gonna love you the way he should Then let it go If he ain't gonna treat you the way he should Then let it go"

Wow. A talk needs to take place. He really needs a reality check and start appreciating you and what you do.

@Yezenia and k Michelle said you can't raise a man!

Hell no. One thing my husband would do is drop everything to be there w me in the hospital and wouldn’t complain about a thing. U lost me at wanting to stay home and work. Throw him in the furthest garbage u can find (jk). But on a serious note this is not okay at all.

@Yezenia what song is this ? 😭

He should not be complaining and 100% should be looking after you. Any surgery is major and you should not be left to look after yourself. I could not imagine doing that to my partner. As you were probably told there is a 1-2% chance of something going wrong . My partner had his gallbladder removed last year was home for an hour after the surgery and bled out. He had to be shocked back to life in the back of an ambulance. And was in hospital for 2 weeks. While I was looking after our 6 month old. You never know what's around the corner. You should always look after your loved ones.

Wow. No, just no. You deserve so much better

I’m happy for you to message me I went through similar and mine turned into pancreatitis as well and then had to wait for surgery is wasn’t allowed to hold my little girl for 2 weeks or do much so it was awful

You should address this asap. Maybe couples therapy. Something major or it won’t stop. My dad is like this. And my mom was diagnosed with cancer last year. Guess who acted like a fucking baby the whole time? My dad. While my mom went through chemo for a year and a major lung surgery. Fuck this man up before it’s too late

Send him this post, literally copy and paste it into a message and have a conversation with him. It reminds me of when a child hurts themselves or is sick so the other child acts sick or injured to get the same attention

First time I had gal stones I literally thought I was having a heart attack 😅 never drank a 4loco ever again

@Jody hi Jody! It's Let it go by Keyshia Cole

I had gallstones three months PP, was so bad it was blocking my liver causing the start of liver failure. My fiance did not miss a beat, he stayed with me for days in the hospital, did whatever I needed without being asked. Point is there’s mean out there that would be there at the drop off the hat. Your husband should be your support system. I would’ve lost my 💩 on my man if he treated me like that in such a vulnerable moment

Thanks for letting me rant, ladies! I’ll give him credit where credit is due, he’s been working from home (work wouldn’t give him time off) and dealing with the kids the past few days while I relax. He’s not the most sensitive but he has stepped up

Actually, fuck that man-baby. He got prickled by a rose bush and had a hissy fit because I ‘didn’t have enough sympathy’ for him, when I’d just got back from the doctors after bursting my stitches getting a tantruming 2yo to bed so he could go get himself some food. FFS.
