We all love dairy products, but how far would we go to consume them? In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP's husband is willing to be hospitalized in order to consume dairy. He's well aware that he has a severe allergy but disregards it because he's so passionate about dairy. That's fine and dandy if he wants to make that decision, but not if his irresponsible decision affects his wife too. Apparently, he intentionally eats dairy on her days off from work so that he'll have someone to take care of him like he's a child. When she discovered that he does this intentionally, she was understandably furious. Scroll down for all the details behind this dairy debacle.

    Font - AITA for watching and doing nothing to help my husband when he was extremely ill? My (27f) husband "Tim" (36m) has a serious dairy allergy. I'm talking about an actual immune system reaction, not intolerance. His allergy is serious enough to cause acute Enterocolitis, but he hasn't needed an epi-pen since he was a kid.

    We can't imagine being severely allergic to dairy like Tim. We love pizza too mch.

    Font - I work full time and also have some seasonal work this holiday season because Tim has been without work, and money has been very tight. As a result, I barely get to rest. The holiday are especially hard, and I found myself getting just one day off every 2 weeks for almost 2 months straight. As you can imagine, that day off means the universe to me.

    Plant - Now, Tim LOVES dairy, and will sometimes intentionally eat things which trigger his allergy. Lately, it's gotten out of hand, with him going from one risky meal every 4-6 months, to every 2 or so weeks. In fact, it always seemed to coincidentally line up with my time off, and I found myself spending my one day taking care of him. Last week, I finally

    Font - asked him if he was intentionally timing it to line up with my day off. I fully expected him to say no, but he admitted that he was doing it to make sure that he'd have a nurse, and so he'd have someone close by in case he had an especially adverse reaction and needed a hospital. I was livid, and told him that he was selfish, robbing me of my rest. I said that if he made himself sick again, I wouldn't take care of him. I'm exhausted and I need to decompress. He didn't say much, so I thoug

    Font - Fast forward to Friday night. I get home from work, and a few minutes in, Tim gets a pizza delivered. I ask him why, when I'm making dinner and he shrugs. I ask if a large garlic Alfredo pizza is worth the pain, and remind him that I won't be giving up my rest day again. He smirks and eats an entire slice while grinning at me. I left it at that and went back to my dinner.

    Font - Predictably, he got sick, profusely vomiting, retching and groaning from the intense cramping and diarrhea. I slept in the guest room to get away from the sound and smellI. He called for me several times and I repeatedly told him no. Hours later, he was still sick and woke me up at the crack of dawn to go get him pedialyte and meds because he was very dehydrated and still in pain. I told him to order it in and asked him to get out and let me sleep.

    Font - He was still whimpering when I eventually got up to shower and eat. Again, I did nothing to help or comfort him. By evening, he was sulking, and by morning when I had to work, he was enraged. He yelled, and by the end of the day he'd told our friends and family that he nearly died and I neglected him. His family accused me of passively trying to kill him. His mom called, shouting that he could've had a life threatening reaction due to my petty actions, and that I'm a shit wife for not min

    Font - TLDR; AITA for doing nothing to help my husband after he suffered an acute allergic reaction which he intentionally triggered?

I hope it was a wake up call to him , next time he eats that pizza smiling grab your phone and take a video to send to his mom to let her know he's going to need her assistance tomorrow.

    Rectangle - seanovxcfds · 29 min. ago NTA, if he can order pizza to cause himself to be in pain, he can call an ambulance or even drive to the hospital himself. He's manipulating you P

    Font - beckdawg19 · 5 hr. ago Commander in Cheeks [250] NTA, and reading this was honestly disturbing. This man is willing to risk his own life to manipulate you into taking care of him. Is that really someone you want to be married to?
