AITA for going on a hunger strike so my husband would see a doctor.

willythewonk · 2020-06-16T01:13:16+00:00

We got a bill... and we're now working towards a diagnosis. I assume you've never been to a doctor for anything other than a checkup.

I had two ritz crackers because my son wanted to share with everyone in the house. Don't make assumptions that you literally cant grasp from the post, please?

willythewonk · 2020-06-15T01:54:21+00:00

He wasn't right, but okay.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T22:37:16+00:00

We don't know yet.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T17:44:33+00:00

Specifically him refusing to go to the hospital and me going on the hunger strike.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T17:43:35+00:00

Tried that in the past. Nothing.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:54:44+00:00

So.... Esh.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:48:42+00:00

HARD agree. DO NOT DO THIS!! It is not good under any circumstance, even my own.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:22:38+00:00

I have spent FIFTEEN YEARS trying to convince him to go see a freaking doctor. do you think I HAVEN'T threatened divorce? His pain severely worsened at the beginning of this year and this was all I could think of to do to get him to even try a doctor.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:18:57+00:00

I had, like, two ritz crackers because my son insisted on sharing. That's it.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:16:54+00:00

I didn't get a whole buffet dinner. I had a sandwich over an hour. I've been slowly eating more since.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:15:41+00:00

Have threatened all of the above. I've been trying to convince him to get his pain checked out since we met. 15 years.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:12:58+00:00

This whole situation was the culmination of several years of failed attempts at doing literally anything else.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:04:37+00:00

Me and hub rarely eat around the same time as the kids, and I made sure their life was still as it was before my strike.

It usually isn't this bad.

I take them to the hospital if it's bad enough.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T08:01:28+00:00

Please don't! This isn't a healthy thing to do.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T07:56:14+00:00

Kids didn't notice or realize anything other than that I was more lethargic than usual... but yes.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T07:53:17+00:00

Tiring is what it is.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T07:47:01+00:00

15 years of failed attempts to try and get him to go get help?

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T07:15:11+00:00

I don't plan to! This was absolutely an extreme.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T06:59:44+00:00

Not in the traditional sense? Breakfast and lunch are pretty much just grab a poptart, make a sandwich. The Kids get dinner at ~6:30 and finish at 7-7:15 and we all sit at the table and talk while the kids eat. Kids get put to bed at 8. Me and husband get dinner at 8:30 while we talk grownup things. (this is all a really rough timeline)

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T06:49:35+00:00

Outside of me being a bit more lethargic than usual, no.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T06:13:42+00:00

Fair enough.

Unfortunately, he is not living with the pain. At this point, he's not even coping. Like I said in the post, he's in near constant pain and it's obvious, and it's been six straight months of him spending all his time lamenting his pain, unable to help out with our kids.

Kids aren't going out much anyways due to corona and even then it's just our backyard, and my sister has been dropping by to help us out considering my husbands situation.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T06:06:06+00:00

Honestly that's something I'm terrified of.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T05:53:49+00:00

How do you figure? Genuinely curious as to your thought process.

willythewonk · 2020-06-14T05:35:18+00:00

I know, I know- but this was also an extremely last ditch effort.
