Cause I’m starting to think that I would be screwed 🥲 there is so much faffing about every single thing that is not important in an emergency he does, like I appreciate the effort but come on 😩
I once even sent my partner away to work while actively heavily (and I mean HEAVY) miscarrying our second pregnancy and then casually passing out in my bathroom while waiting for the ambulance and picked my mum to come with me over him.
I love him, but he is just not good in certain situations

My husband and I… even each other out. Take turns almost lol.
Like when I was bleeding from abruption, emergency room and went into c section. I was fine, I saw him panicking and that made me like I’m okay, hey, babe, I’m fine, we’ll be fine. Blah blah.
But like the first time bubs was sick, projectile vomiting, fever, etc. I was panicking, and he was completely calm and handled us.
Idk if I could handle being the rock all the time 😅

It’s one of the things I love about my husband. He’s so solid and makes life feel easier even when everything is falling to shit. We’ve gone through a lot together and he never fails to make me feel safe and grounded. I definitely need to do better on my end though. I tend to panic 😣

He is the strong one and I am not at all lol he super casually said “hmm I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking for” when the nurse asked to check me and I was bleeding HEAVILY during labour. Our oldest had an allergic reaction and our youngest had a non emergency trip to the ER for a procedure and I was freaking out the entire way and he was cool as cucumber. I also stepped on a dull metal object that just hung out of my foot and he said well this could definitely be worse. Like no dude I’m about to pass out. Every time he told me later that he was internally panicking but he hides it well 😂

Definitely the other way round for me and my partner. I'm pretty useless in an emergency but he keeps a cool head and gets things done. Was very useful during my sons birth! I lost 2l of blood and the poor trainee midwife had to leave the room. I had 2 doctors trying to stitch me and god knows how many there on standby. I was blissfully unaware cuddling my baby, my poor partner witnessed it all and never let any of it show. It's only since when we have discussed things that he's given me some of the details. He's my rock in the big stuff like that. The smaller less important non emergency type stuff he sucks at though and I have to handle lol

He has come a long way since we have been together. But we are both kind of bad in an emergency lol

my partner is the best. our biggest emergency situation was birthing our little boy and I couldn't have done it without him. we had some complications but all turned out good and he was my rock through all of it, water, holding my hair when I threw up, waking me from passing out, changing my pads for me after birth, everything. didn't flinch at the blood or crying or literal screaming (forced natural). just held me and calmed me.

Hmmm this is a tough one. I went into spontaneous labour at home and when he realised I was being serious I asked him to grab my hospital bag and bring it downstairs. He came running down with our son's overnight bag (which was a character suitcase 😂). Things escalated and he ended up delivering our daughter at home and he did well to stay calm and composed. I am grateful he didn't panic and pass out or anything. He was able to follow in the instructions from the midwife on the phone and stay on task.

My partner is great in emergency situations. He was a police officer for a long time so he's well trained in emergency situations. My ex husband was pretty good too. Very level headed. Both of them.

After my c section, I slept upright on my recliner sofa and i needed to get up for the toilet but my legs just would not work. I slid myself off the sofa and dragged myself to our room where he slept with our toddler and I was crying because I was scared. I called his name and was like my legs won’t work and he was just like “omg you scared me slithering in like that, like something from a horror film” ermmm not quite an emergency but cmon man 🤣

My husband is 33, he's still not the one to go to in an emergency. I'm very calm and collected in the most extreme events. He panicks and freezes on the spot

he’s the level headed one.. he doesn’t let things emotionally bother him so he is good to know what to do. he’s pretty calm and collected
