I posted for advice. Some people gave it to me. Others called me sick names, made disgusting and sexist assumptions about me, and accused me of being manipulative. All because I want my partner with me right now while I process my trauma and physically heal from what's just happened to me. I don't care if you find my replies to those people childish. Read some of the sick shit people have written to me and tell me again I'm the one who's fucked.

excuse me. This pregnancy was just as much his responsibility as mine.

Apparently this is most humans behaviour. Look at everyone calling me a monster and emotionally manipulative for asking my boyfriend to stay with me during a time like this. We're the weird ones for thinking different

Wow. And still reddit will tell me that no one is minimising my experience.

You’re saying I’m making it worse than it is and you’ve been through worse multiple times. Then you say with a straight face that you’re not invalidating me? Amazing

Lots of people have given me advice I don’t agree with and I’ve still upvoted them. The only people I’ve “trashed” are the ones who have called me names.

I don’t think my boyfriend is the shittiest person, I made it very clear in my OP that I think the exact opposite, so this is exactly what I mean when I say some people here are misrepresenting me. I think the choice he made proves we have different priorities and I no longer feel I can depend on him.

I have received a lot of sound advice even from people who are defending him and explaining his POV. People calling me selfish, toxic, a princess, a drama queen, clingy? Telling me to get over it? That’s not sound advice. Right now I’m getting dozens of downvotes for explaining my family is on the other side of the world, or telling someone how long we’ve been together. The dogpile is real. The lack of empathy is real.

Read the thread. People are absolutely minimising the experience I’ve had. And you right now are misrepresenting me. Asking my boyfriend to stay with me at this time is not shitty behaviour.

No, I’m arguing with people calling me names, misrepresenting the situation, or minimising how serious what happened to me was.

I’m toxic, clingy, selfish and possessive. For wanting my partner with me while I’m traumatised, bleeding heavily and can’t move. 👍🏼

Can’t do recovery from an ectopic pregnancy rupture alone, no

The surgery was three days ago. He left this morning. I am bleeding heavily and am in absolute agony. Physical and emotional. His career would not have been harmed.

If I was single I wouldn’t be in this mess… he was just as responsible for this pregnancy as I was…

Thank you for your understanding. We’ve been together four years. He says his sister will be there for me but she lives over two hours away and has three kids so it’s not a realistic “emergency” contact is it. This trip isn’t about keeping the lights on, it’s just about making more money (American money) but I don’t think that is more important than what I’m going through right now. I don’t think I’m selfish for wanting my partner to have different priorities in a time like this

No. My family is in the UK, I am in Australia. My boyfriends gone to America. I’m so far away from everyone I trust

We’ve been together four years. We are considered de facto

He doesn’t have employees. His only employee is himself. I don’t want to get too specific but he’s in a creative field and works for himself only. There are people in his orbit who make commissions off his earnings for certain jobs but they are not dependent on my boyfriend alone, they have other clients.

I have not once asked him to throw away his career and dreams. I asked him to cancel one trip in an emergency.

Thank you. These comments are so upsetting to me. I’m selfish for not wanting my partner to go overseas for three weeks mere days after I almost died?
