    I (25F) have been dating my boyfriend (27M) for two years. He has been my first ever boyfriend because not a lot of guys seem interested in me. Overall, our relationship has been good, but something happened recently that made me question everything.

    About two months ago, I started feeling severe abdominal pain while we were at his apartment. The pain became so intense that I could hardly move or speak. I told my boyfriend that I needed to go to the hospital because something felt very wrong. He dismissed my concerns, saying I was overreacting and that it was probably just something I ate.

    Despite my pleas, he refused to take me to the hospital or even call an ambulance. Instead, he suggested I lie down and wait it out. The pain kept getting worse, and I was scared, throwing up and crying. After an hour of begging him to help me, I finally managed to call a friend, who immediately came over and took me to the ER.

    It turns out I had pancreatitis, which required immediate medical attention. The doctors said it could have been life- threatening if I had waited any longer. My friend stayed with me the entire time, but my boyfriend didn't even check in to see how I was doing until the next day. He sent a brief text saying he hoped I was feeling better. I was in the

    was feeling better. I was in the hospital for three weeks, he didn't even bother to come see me. When I confronted him about his lack of support and concern, he got defensive and said I was being dramatic and that he didn't think it was that serious. He accused me of making him look bad in front of my friends for

    something that "wasn't a big deal." I decided to break up with him because I can't be with someone who doesn't take my health seriously or support me in an emergency. Now, after we've been apart for a few weeks, some

    of our mutual friends are saying I overreacted and that he just made a mistake. They think I should give him another chance. That he was busy and it wasn't as big of a deal as I made it out to be. AITA?

    rcuhljr 12h ago My partner had pancreatitis and I drove her to the hospital immediately and spent the next week working remotely from her hospital room. And I'm at the bottom of the scale for compassionate relationship effort. Find someone better.

    Hungry_Compos... • 11h ago You took care of one problem and dumped the boyfriend. Go find a better one.
  • 15
    Now take care of the other problem and dump the friends that are excusing him. Go find better ones.

    Also, get rid of that "... because not a lot of guys seemed interested in me" mentality, even if you need to go to therapy to get help with recognizing your self- worth.
  • 17
    Men like your dirtbag boyfriend will be drawn to that mindset, and they'll convince you you're trapped, have no other options, and are stuck with them and their abusive treatment of you. You need to be able to see through that, and therapy will help you.
