agreed

Amen.

No good sleep in 96 hours? If this is another sexist go make him a sandwich!!! comment its not funny. He can wait a few hours while the wife that has waited up for him for several days gets some needed rest. There isnt a single magazine in the hospital he can read to keep himself amused?

Agreed. Yes he's sick but she's been waiting on him hand and foot for three days with no sleep. Obviously he's now in the clear so she doesn't need to be worrying about him dying, and so she should be able to get a few hours of sleep at the least. Hopefully her husband isn't that stupid, and he's just on morphine or something that's causing him to be a dick to his wife.

30 and 42, I was as serious as a heart attack. I doubt the wife has been locked in a hospital room for 96 hours. She even said that she left his room last night and was awoken at 5:00 AM by her husband. That's a pretty good night's sleep. If she's that tired, the wife can just go back to sleep after getting him his comic books.

The question is what time last night? Could have been midnight for all we know. And I'm sure she had some things to get done around the house, so I don't think she just plopped into bed. She could have went to bed at 1,2 even 3 for this matter. Then went to sleep. I know if I haven't slept in 96 hours I would like to sleep atleast until 9:30. Us women don't have to wait on men hand and foot. I'm sure when she was up and ready to go, the first place she would be going is to the hospital. He could have waited until 7 to call. This is just an assumption on my part.

How are comic books to amuse someone more important than someone getting sleep after 3 days...? That's elfin inconsiderate after she clearly went above and beyond the past few days. If the situation where flipped everyone would be like, "what a selfish bitch".

She said she went home "last night," so I'm assuming she went home before 12:00 AM. Otherwise, she probably would have said "early in the morning," or something like that. I never said women should bend over backwards for men, but a spouse should be willing to care for his or her spouse in this kind of situation. Complaining about sleep deprivation seems a little besides the point when the husband was apparently in danger of dying the day before.

When I stay up late i.e. until 3am, the next day I still say last night and not this morning but thats semantics. I agree that OP should be willing to help her husband and make him feel better when he is in hospital however people here seem too willing to jump to the conclusion she is an unreasonable bitch.

96 hours = 4 days, people. D:

Haha your right! Up above! Ah der! Honest mistake. If I was up until 2 am I'll say wow, I stayed up to late last night because that is, to me, a continuation of that same day, and it's dark. So to me last night. He WAS almost dying. That's the key word. He's was out of danger, so she has the right to go home and have a decent night sleep. If my husband was in the hospital and he called me after at 5 am after 4 days of no real sleep, he'd be having a longer hospital stay after I was done with him. :-)

I didn't even write 3 days. So I take that back. I love my husband to death. But common sense in a man should say just watch tv for a few hours then call the lady. He could live without those comic books for 2-4 hours. After a 5 am wake up call, I'd probably make him wait until noon, just to be a bitch.

Um the husband is fine now. Which is why she was able to go home. Calling at 5 is ridiculous. I could understand if he called for something more important but he didn't. He wanted comic books. Give me a break. He could've waited a few more hours, boredom isn't going to kill him. Anyone who thinks the wife is at fault for complaining is silly.

The husband was sick enough to be hospitalized for over 4 days and is, in fact, still in the hospital. He may be recovering but he isn't fine or he would have been released already. I realize that OP was tired as anyone would be, but maybe she should be more grateful that her husband is doing better. I would be thrilled that my husband felt well enough to call and be an ass after an ordeal that included a week long hospital stay.

To back up 171's point, hospitals usually keep near death patients an extra 2-3 days after everything is "alright". My Grandfather fainted several times and was held in the hospital for about a week. They found what was wrong with him in the first couple days and gave him meds to fix it, but keep him an entire week to make sure they got everything. And they didn't. He died a week later because of something they missed. Just because a patient isn't in immediate danger of dying does NOT mean they can leave the hospital. Trust me, if a patient is "near death", they are in no way "okay". This FML cuts off so we don't know what happens, but if the OP decided not to bring her husband the comics, and the husband ends up dying before she can visit him, she is going to be immensely angry and bitter. I know this because my aunt did this exact same thing with her father the day he died, except it was with a lotto ticket. Is the OP's husband being a bit selfish? Perhaps, but this isn't an FML unless the husband wouldn't be willing to do the same in return.

Win!

Fail ^. I as a male spit on your shadow. How could you betray your own gender? Back stabber.

ROFL

and you are the person that makes some women hate men, because you're a user. it is not her job

If my significant other ever spoke to me like that I would turn around and slap him across the mouth so fast he wouldn't live to tell it.

My husband would never talk to me like that!! You, sir, need to check your shit. If you ever spoke to me that way, you would be checking in a the dentist to have some teeth replaced. No man should ever speak to a women that way.

he's in the ******* hospital she can stay up a few hours

I bet I it were a wife in the hospital and a man too lazy to bring the comic books he'd be getting flamed.

Key phrase: His life WAS in danger. As in past tense. He's now no longer dying and is recovering so it's reasonable that OP would want to catch up on a few hours of sleep after THREE DAYS. Just because one person is sick in a relationship does NOT mean they have the right to treat their significant other like a servant to carry out their every whim. This is NOT a necessity for him. It's not like he's home in bed asking her to bring him a Tylenol. He needs to start acting like a good husband, although I feel sorry for OP since all men are total BABIES when they're the least bit sick so it's doubtful that'll happen.

Reynshine- I have news for you: not all men are *******. **** you and your ******* generalisation.

Ok I'll rephrase, a very high number of men are whiney little bitches when they get sick.

Reynshine- whether men are big babies or not isn't the point. In fact, OP is being a baby herself. If it were my husband, I would make sure he was comfortable and happy until he was out of the hospital even if it meant I had to go out of my way to do it. I say F his life for having a lousy wife. :(

Reynshine- Whether men are big babies or not isn't the point. In fact, OP's husband is being a baby himself. If it were my wife, I would make sure she was comfortable and well rested, since she spent four restless days in the hospital by my side, and I would at least be kind enough not to wake her up and make her drive half asleep, which is dangerous, for something as minor as comic books. Not medication, not glasses, COMIC BOOKS, until she was well rested a few hours later. Even if it meant I had to be somewhat bored a few hours to do it. I say F her life for having an INCONSIDERATE husband. :( FIXED

lol

your the reason 70% of marriages fail. men like us stand next to you when you give birth, shop, complain about your day, complain about ANYTHING and when he is in the hospital and says he is bored, you are where? sleeping? I would have stayed next to my girlfriend untilshe was out, let alone wife. even better, turn off your phone so YOU can sleep while HE is in the hospital, selfish much?

Would you rather she suffer from sleep deprivation so much that she gets hurt and has to be put in the hospital herself? A prime example: driving while exhausted is just as bad as driving drunk. She's not being selfish, she's trying to keep herself alive.

Yes men stand by us for all of that, BUT we don't do it for 96 hours straight. What good is someone going to be if they haven't slept in three days? I know I couldn't function if I hadn't slept in three days, let alone be able to take care of a sick person once they got home. If she stays with him the whole time he's in the hospital, she won't be able to take care of him when he does come home because she'll be too exhausted to move. Let's see. Boredom, or severe sleep depravation that will most likely compromise OPs immune system and could make her sick since she's been in a hospital for 3 days around all those germs? Sorry, he can sit his ass there bored after she's waited on him hand and foot for 3 days. It's not like he's dying anymore. Let her have a few hours of sleep so that she can function, then she can bring him his damn comic books. I wouldn't turn my phone off in case there was an emergency, but my fiance would definitely get an ear full if he did that to me and I'd tell him he'd get them later.

45: Nobody asked you to. Truth is, if my significant other does everything with the thought that I would owe him favors, I just rather he didn't do shit. Nobody likes double standards. You either help out without strings attached or GTFO.

I'm pretty sure she didn't say awake for 96 hours straight anyway, she just needed to rest to go out and get her shopping fix...Jk and she can't sleep at the hospital?

76, it seems obvious you've never had to try and sleep in a hospital. even if you're the patient and they're putting drugs in your iv, it is not a restful environment.

It is hard to get sleep in a hospital, however, it is possible. I firmly believe that she attained a decent amount of sleep. Just because she slept doesn't mean it was a "good sleep" it was probably uncomfortable.

two of my brothers and my mother were in the hospital, and I have slept there, just uncomfortable, I agree. but wall he asked was for comic books, she could go home after. not so horrible, he just misses her, get over it op, marriage is through sickness and health, for better or for worse, not like your giving up your life for him, just bring him books. go back home and sleep

what the hell is awesms?

Comic books.

bitch.......
