Last November I logged my husband’s first seizure (he’s 39 and in otherwise great shape), they stopped for a while and then came back in May at 1 per month intervals now. Nearly every time I told him he shrugged it off saying it was probably something else and I was mistaken. This last time it happened (2 days ago) I recorded it and showed him. Today, he said he did research and knows what’s wrong with him and that I’m a moron for thinking he’s not smart enough to do research. He also proceeded to call me a heartless gold digging bitch for recording him instead of calling an ambulance, even though we discussed me doing this the next time it happened. His seizures don’t ever last more than 1.5 min and after 5 mins is when I am told you should be worried.
Basically, I’m trying to understand how I am the asshole for wanting him to go to a neurologist. He’s pushing me away and all I want is for him to live. I don’t deserve to be called the things he calls me and I’m about at my breaking point for giving up. 😞

First of all im so sorry you're going through this. 😞 if it was me id tell him this how you feel (im sure you have) but especially to point out his first episode was almost a year ago but has increased and that is a problem that needs looked into or he could die or something bad. Sometimes men need scared into going to the doctor. And showing how much you care and youre afraid to lose him amd especially if you have kids together.
Last week my husband had terrible poison ivy reaction that he watched for a week and it kept getting worse even with over counter allergy meds (hes allergic to the plant too so worse than just a normal person's reaction to it) anyway it was getting bad and clearly something wrong so I had to push him to go to urgent care because i was scared it was an infection which can kill you if left alone. Turns out his arm was infected and the doctor was in total shock they'd never seen it so bad and didnt lead on to how bad it was more than "we're glad you came in today"..
