Karen’s husband has been dealing with health issues and has been visiting the doctor frequently, but he refused to let Karen come with him, which led to a disagreement between them.
“Are They Female?!”
Karen had asked if she could go with him, but he refused, saying that he preferred to have privacy with his doctor. Karen jokingly asked if his doctor was a woman, and her husband gave her a glance.
She Invited Herself
Karen anticipated her husband’s next doctor appointment and decided to meet him there. She entered the office and identified herself as his wife, and her husband was shocked to see her. Karen greeted the doctor, who was a man, and they talked, but her husband refused to even look at her or speak to her.
Her Husband Was SO Mad
When they left the office together, her husband went off on her in the car, saying that she shouldn’t have followed him and come into the doctor’s office after he had asked for privacy. Karen thought he was being very dramatic.
Overstepping Boundaries
Karen tried to explain that she just wanted to show support and already knew about his medical issues, but her husband accused her of overstepping his boundaries and making him more stressed than he already was.
Overreaction
Karen felt like her husband was overreacting, but she couldn’t help but wonder if she had done something wrong. She only wanted to help and support her husband but it seemed to have backfired and she had no idea why.
Is She the Jerk Or Is He Sensitive?
“I just wanted to be there for him and show him that I care,” Karen said. “I didn’t think it would be a big deal to go with him to the doctor’s office, but he made it seem like I had crossed a line. I’m not sure if I’m the jerk in this situation or if he’s just being overly sensitive.”
Taking a Toll
Karen’s husband’s health issues had been taking a toll on their relationship, and she couldn’t help but feel like he was pushing her away. She wondered if there was something more going on and if they needed to have a serious conversation about their relationship which is why she joked about the doctor being female.
Shutting Her Out
“I love my husband, and I want to support him through this difficult time,” Karen said. “But I also don’t want him to shut me out and make me feel like I’m not a part of his life.”
The Internet Responded
This commenter wrote, “You don’t have the right to invade your husband’s privacy after he requested to go alone. A signed piece of paper doesn’t give you the right to stalk your husband. You have zero respect for him, obviously.”
More Internet Responses
Another person commented this opinion, “It’s downright hilarious that OP is trying to convince us in her reply that she disrespected her husband’s wishes and privacy because she respects him (“I respect him and worry about him that’s why I went”). ETA: her asking him “jokingly” if the doctor was a woman is a dead giveaway of what her real reasons are.”
A Final Comment
This last commenter posted, “She doesn’t really care about her husband’s health issues and privacy as she was suspicious of the doc being a female and this being the only reason he was going.”
