AITAH for leaving my husband to walk 2 miles home after he refused to get back in my car after leaving an MRI?
My (45F) husband (45M) is claustrophobic. We have been married 18 years, together 22 years. He needs a brain MRI due to vision issues, but has been unable to get complete one due to claustrophobia. We tried on anxiety meds twice and he left both times. After 8 months of trying to schedule a sedation MRI, we were finally able to get him in this morning. He has to get dental work sedated as well. The MRI team agreed to use the same medication that his dentist uses. I explained that and he agreed.
When the MRI team started describing the medication and that he may be awake, just sleepy, he refused and they called me to come pick him up.
We take care of his grandma and i was over there getting her ready for a quick appointment. As soon as they called. I left to travel the 3 miles to get him. It took me about 10 min. When i got there, he was nowhere to be found. I had his phone and wallet. So i drove around looking for him. He had not been sedated, so he was sober.
I found him about 0.5 mile away walking and he was pissed and started yelling. I yelled back because i was scared, didn’t know where he was, and i was frustrated from trying to schedule this important MRI for months. So, he slams the door and gets back out. I drive around the corner tell him to get back in. But i also have to get grandma to her appt. He won’t get in, so i try one more time and leave. We are about 2 miles from home. He walks home. I get gma to her appt.
Grandma appt was a hair appt. She goes every week, but this was the long one for the cut and color. I just dropped her off and went back home and we got into a huge fight. He said i lied about the sedation and i abandoned him. He said i should have kept circling around and coming back.
AITAH for leaving him to walk home and get grandma to her appt.
