Health: Today, I begged my husband to take me to the ER cause my stomach...

By Jeri - 26/02/2010 12:55 - United States

Today, I begged my husband to take me to the ER cause my stomach hurt so bad I thought I was gonna die. He told me to go sit on the toilet and stop being a drama queen. I drove myself to the hospital just in time for my appendix to burst. I almost died because my husband was busy playing xbox. FML

Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML

Today, what started with me forcing a shit a little too hard ended up with me being rushed to the hospital with appendicitis. FML

Today, I rushed my wife to the ER because she was having abdominal pains. She was crying in the car and very faintly said, "If I die, our daughter goes to my sister and they get everything in my will." We later found out she was just having a bad gas problem. FML

A mother's love…

Today, I crawled into my mom's room to tell her my stomach was in massive pain. She ended up throwing me out of the room while spraying me with Lysol. My appendix was about to burst and I needed surgery. FML

Today, I was feeling really sick when I was with my boyfriend at the park. When we were walking, I got really dizzy and collapsed. My boyfriend didn't catch me. His mom took me to the hospital. While I was being poked with needles, he was at home playing COD. FML

Man up

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Santa Barbara

Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML

Today, while grocery shopping, I was having such terrible abdominal pains I could hardly walk. As I'm 8 months pregnant, I told my husband we should head home. He thought a better idea was to run through the store and hide from me, hoping to induce labor by making me chase him. FML

Full of it

By romoangel - 21/04/2020 05:00

Today, I felt a very sharp pain, like my appendix was going to burst. After going to the doctor, I was rushed to the hospital to get tests done. The doctors later told me there's nothing wrong, I was just constipated. I went to the hospital for them to basically tell me I'm full of shit. FML

Today, my husband had heart attack symptoms on the way to his family event. We stopped, called an ambulance, and he was taken off to hospital. I called his family to update them. They still expected us to turn up. FML

Time for some serious discussions about the state of your marriage and his level of consideration, care, and respect for you.

A lot of you aren't thinking practically--divorce is often a financial disaster for women. She should stay married to the gamer asshole as long as he pays the bills, but while he's diddling around with his Xbox, she ought to go out and find a man with a big Wii and play with that. ;)

#162, no, you don't die the second it bursts. But once it bursts, there is great risk for life-threatening infection. The whole point of rushing to the hospital when you have appendicitis is so that they can remove the appendix BEFORE it bursts.

For all the idiots still using that lame: "go in the kitchen/make me a sammich" joke- Nobody finds that funny besides retarded troll-children who like to act sexist so that people get mad at them. FAIIIIL Also, wtf? Why would he consider an xbox over his wife!??!! My guy likes xbox but he'd never ignore me if I was in the slightest bit of pain, never mind clutching my stomach in agony... >_> Geez, some people need to get their heads back in reality. It's so pathetic to think about kill streaks and headshots and whatever over your living, breathing wife... *FACEPALM*

I would beat the xbox into a barely recognizeable lump. Then I would leave a note that says 'your xbox's appendix burst. so sorry for your loss. you'll be hearing from my divorce attorney'

It's funny how all the women on this board go all feminist when something like this happens and find it appalling when a man says something sexist but in the same breath you preach kicking balls and cutting off penis's. Hypocrisy thy name is woman.
