Partner Fail

Feb 22, 2011 07:45

I'm so upset this morning, I really prefer not to be puffy faced and snotty in my cubicle, but here I am.

I mentioned last night that we're dealing with low HCG levels, I have an ultrasound followed by an appointment with the doctor in about 2 hours. I had to get into work early this morning to get a few things done that I'm behind on because of all the appointments I've had in the last week. I had asked my husband last night if he'd like to come with me to the appointment. He kind of hymned and hawed about it, but I thought it sounded like he was going to come.

On my way out the door (late, as usual) I ask him "so are you going to go with me this morning then?" and he gets all frustrated looking and says he'd rather not. He asks if he's supposed to go and I, pissed already, snap back that I'm not going to make him do anything he doesn't want to do and head out the door. He's just so oblivious I want to smack him upside the head sometimes.

In this post I explain that I had a miscarriage in January. When I was cramping and wanted to go home from a family gathering he told me "I'm having fun with my family" and said he was okay with me going home alone. Last week when I got the news that the numbers weren't doubling he was out of town for work and unreachable by phone. I just want someone to be there with me as I probed and prodded and have to make decisions about terminating a wanted pregnancy. I feel bad for even saying anything, it isn't like he's malicious about it or anything he just does. not. get. it.

ETA - We spoke on the phone and now he's coming. I just wish it didn't have to be such an ordeal.

prenatal appointments, emotions, fathers
