Some people just can’t leave work no matter what.

This woman had to work while her husband was in the hospital for seven days.

She took a few days off, but her husband still felt that she didn’t care much about him.

AITAH for working while husband was in the hospital?

About 6 months ago, my husband was admitted to the hospital.

It was for a severe infection.

In total, he was there for 7 work days.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, he exploded.

This woman’s husband told her she didn’t care so much about him.

He said how I acted while he was in the hospital showed how little I care about him.

It really opened his eyes, he added.

He said he felt more cared about by random colleagues checking in.

He was drunk, and said some nastier things as well.

She explained how the days went.

Here’s what I did during his hospital stay.

Thursday, I took the day off.

I was in the ER with him until 11pm, but then, they kicked me out.

She took a day off, but joined a meeting during quiet hours.

Friday, I took a day off, and I had a meeting in the cafeteria during quiet hours.

Saturday and Sunday, I was there all visiting hours, except when I was getting things for him or letting the dog out.

She had to work for a few days.

On Monday, I had a morning job interview for a significant promotion.

I was at the hospital by 1 pm.

And on Tuesday until Thursday, I worked half-days, mostly during quiet hours.

On Friday, I took another day off.

And I was there all day Saturday until we went home.

She felt that his outburst was unfair.

So, in total, I took 3 days off and 4 half days.

I genuinely believed I did a good job at holding everything down.

But, obviously, I was wrong.

I’m trying to focus on how he feels but also feel like this is really unfair.

Her husband is being unreasonable. It also sounds like he was drunk, so he probably wasn’t really thinking through what he was saying.
