Man Catches Up On Sleep While GF Calls Ambulance, Leaves Her Alone To Wait And Feed 4MO Baby
If people can’t count on their loved ones to be there for them in moments of crisis, it can end up making them question the relationship. The reason for this is that folks often need more support during emergency situations, which is when their partner or family is supposed to be by their side.
Unfortunately for this woman, her boyfriend left her alone waiting for an ambulance and feeding their four-month-old, just so that he could catch up on some sleep. His lack of empathy during her crisis made her question everything.

Instead of taking responsibility for his actions, the man tried to turn the tables on the poster by saying she didn’t create a sense of urgency for him to respond to
Nobody wants to find themselves in an emergency situation all of a sudden, but that’s exactly what happened to the OP, who randomly started having pain radiating down her arm and chest. She didn’t know what to do about it, and, at first, her partner tried to massage her shoulder and later told her to call an ambulance if it got worse.
According to medical professionals, when you experience chest pain for longer than five minutes, and it doesn’t go away with rest or medicines, it’s important to contact the local emergency services. If that’s not possible, you can also get someone to drive you to the closest hospital for a check-up.
The problem in this situation was that even after the woman decided to call an ambulance, her partner just kept sleeping and didn’t wake up even once. She didn’t just want him to be there as a source of comfort, but also to look after their 4-month-old baby, who would need to be fed if he woke up.
In crisis situations like this, experts state that it’s actually important for the partner or family member to be there as support so that they can calm their loved one down. When someone is having chest pain, the other individual should make them rest in a semi-seated position and monitor their breathing and heart rate.

Unfortunately for the lady, she had to spend 1.5 hours on her own, waiting for an ambulance that didn’t even turn up. During that time, she also ended up feeding their baby with absolutely no help from her boyfriend, who just kept on sleeping.
It’s clear that the man seemed unbothered by his girlfriend’s emergency situation and didn’t think to even check on her in the night. Meanwhile, since the woman had to deal with so much alone, she soon began to feel angry and resentful of her partner, and couldn’t believe his lack of empathy.
Many professionals share that when an individual shows how unreliable they are in a situation like this, it can end up destroying the other person’s trust in the relationship. They might feel like they can never depend on their partner, which can spell doom for their connection going forward.
The poster definitely felt let down by her boyfriend and was shocked when he tried to blame her for the situation by saying that she hadn’t conveyed the urgency of the matter to him. Even though he could see how his words were affecting his partner, he kept trying to act like it wasn’t his problem.

Am I the only one interpreting all this as the fiance turning OP into the one who was wrong instead of showing care and concern? Those were notably absent. This is a man who takes no accountability whatsoever: who wants to marry that?

Yup, he gaslit her. I would have dumped him after that conversation.

I had the same problem once (I’d been soldering all day and apparently pinched something; had all the signs of a heart attack) and the aboulante was here in six minutes. And when I severed a tendon in my hand, same thing (it got here quickly). I think of Australia as like Texas, though: huge stretches of nothing with little clots of cities and towns. (Am I wrong?) I think she nailed it with the lack of empathy; I’ve never once been with anyone who didn’t freak out even more than I did. And it’s the mother of his baby!! *That* deserves a freak-out. I hope she doesn’t marry him; I’m imagining him finding their baby face-down in the tub and deciding to nap rather than call an ambulance. He doesn’t seem to have any sense of urgency about him. I’m not sure he should be trusted with a baby, as they’re shittty communicators and he’s likely to shout at it “I can’t read your mind! Tell me what you want!”
