Today, my husband, who has been in a coma for 5 weeks, woke up. When I went to visit him, the first thing he did was try and continue the argument we had been having before he crashed the car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after three days of hospital camping with my very sick husband, he was finally out of danger when I left last night to get my first good night's sleep in almost 96 hours. He woke me at 5 a.m. with a phone call asking me to bring him comic books because he's bored. FML
Today, my boyfriend of five years was in a bad car crash, and ended up with a concussion. He didn't remember me. At all. But he remembered his other girlfriend he had cheated on me with for two months. FML
Today, it's been a week since my husband woke up with what the hospital says is transient amnesia. He’s lost about 15 years of memories and thinks he’s in his 20’s. We’ve only been married 5 years, and dated 3 years before that, so he has no idea who I am, has no idea his parents are dead, or who our son is. FML
Today, I woke up with a headache and a bruised forehead after my husband full-force elbowed me in the head last night in his sleep. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact he has zero memory of doing it. FML
Today, I left hospital after suffering a head injury. My neurosurgeon gave my wife a list of potential household changes that needed to be made, otherwise I could have a fatal seizure. We got in the car and she said, "You do realise we aren’t doing a single thing on that bullshit list, right?" FML
Today, I got hit by a car while walking into the hospital to visit my wife, who had also gotten hit by a car. FML
Today, my husband fell asleep while cuddling. I didn't want to wake him, so I lay there for ages, trying to fall asleep. Just as I finally dozed off, my leg uncontrollably jerked and hit him in the nuts. He's convinced I did it deliberately as revenge for an argument we had 5 days ago. FML
Today, I woke up with a pounding headache. My wife tells me that last night I woke up from a nightmare, screaming, tried to run away, and knocked myself out running headfirst into the bedroom wall. So she put me back to bed and went back to sleep. FML
Today, at last, my husband instigated sex for the first time since the honeymoon a few months ago when he started fondling me in bed. Then I realised he was asleep. FML
Today, proving that there's no limit to the stupid shit people will do, my husband called me from hospital, needing a lift home. He tried planking on top of his car while his buddies sped it down a hill, and I now have to take care of him while his broken leg heals. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He know he will win the argument that's why he want to continue . lol

Honestly, if this had happened between me and the guy I was married to, I'd probably cry laughing. It's both relieving and humorous. I guess your husband is stubborn enough that even mules think he's too stubborn.

It's amazing the human brain can shut down cognitive function for that long and continue like nothing happened.

This is insane. One the one hand, you have a girlfriend who woke up from a coma, and forgot she had been dumped before she fell into it. On the other hand, you have a husband who wakes up from a coma, and continues an argument that was happening when he fell into the coma. All in the same week. OP if you read this and you haven't already, please find some way to squash the argument so you and your husband can focus on his health and recovery. Even if it means conceding this one, just let the argument end. Best of luck OP.

That just shows how wrong you were.

Maybe try not arguing while either of you are driving?

OP, you should be clapping your hands with joy. It's fantastic news. And, uh, no arguing. After all, he is the one who was comatose.

Of course, then you should give him hell. It's not enough that he's gotten himself into a coma by not paying attention to the road.
TheNewGuy03 29
Or he could have put BOTH of them into a permanent coma, known to most as "totally ******* dead." What should the lady do? Wish that he didn't wake up? The fact that the husband has retained his cognitive ability enough to have an argument with his wife should be GREAT news. She SHOULD let it go, regardless of who started what. It's the WISEST choice.

In that case I would point out the apparently not so obvious fact that it is extremely unwise to have a heated argument whilst driving. Which both of them should know if they're old enough to own a car.

Congratulations on that OP! Let him win the argument this time. You are lucky and blessed, my grandpa passed away last month while in coma.

pretend he has a bit of memory loss and keep reminding him that you won the argument

And that's when you told him you were filing for divorce. Your idiot of a husband should be so overjoyed to be alive, but instead he's focused on some petty argument. Leave him.

I don't know anything about comas really but it sounds to me like his brain didn't realise anything had happened. Like he woke up and didn't realise he'd been in a coma. I mean brain injury is such a serious thing and not well understood so I absolutely do not agree with your comment. The guy might not have been in the right state of mind - he'd been in a coma for over a month.

Divorce him over a petty argument just after he has woke from a coma? That would be truly idiotic, not to mention heartless. How about looking back on this in a few years and laughing about it together.

It's a good sign that there is no retrograde amnesia. Only blank from when he lost consciousness. Lucky to be alive if the brain injury caused a 5 week coma!

I was wondering where the divorce comment was. I hope you never get married if you're going to bolt at the first sign of discomfort. People like you are why the divorce rates are so high.
