Husband Ignores Hospitalized Wife to Watch TikToks

I'm writing a plot-driven non-fiction book at the moment. I'll get back with you in a year or two.

I think about aneurisms ALL the time! Seriously—I’m terrified of dying from this. I don’t have a family history but I DO get awful migraines. I was scared of this after I saw an episode of some tv show. A wife was talking to hubby on the phone 1 minute, phone cuts out, later she gets a call from the ER doc saying her husband died. Somehow they figured out he died when that call went silent, someone saw him & rushed him to ER, but he was dead 10 minutes of their last call. And—you won’t know if you’re prone to aneurysms unless your Dr does a brain scan. They won’t unless you have family history of predictors. Anyway……terrified of this death!!

I really felt that "brain snaps" when someone you love is hurt/sick. I definitely go offline (panic) but as a mom my response is to hold on so tight that I don't realize that I am not necessarily being helpful anymore. I have about 5 good minutes when the adrenaline first surges and I can be a powerhouse, but then I am a gooey useless mess...

Wait, neurosurgeon or nurse? Was anyone else confused?

The husband with the wife with the neck injury sounds like he's making a lot of justifications for being a shit parent. He's stressed and hangry and coming off of antidepressants. But his wife is the ONE IN THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. Take your child out of the room, get a burger in the cafeteria, and let the nurses do their jobs without you brainless in the corner on TikTok being a neglectful ass.

Daniel your surprise mics are getting predictable

Just wanna say, happy Halloween everybody! And to you too sir Daniel! Your Reddit videos always make me smile!

i take two antidepressants and the withdrawal symptoms of both are different but i cant imagine even if it was the one that makes me super groggy and a little loopy that i would ever be hung up on food and tiktok if my WIFE was in the HOSPITAL for a potentially life-changing (or ENDING??) condition

I was too scared of the Halloween surprise microphones! D:

overreacting about a wireless microphone. on point.

The neck-brace woman and TikTok guy story: LEAVE HIM IMMEDIATELY.
Edit: probably should have heard the whole story. I know it hurts now, but it was the right thing to do. 🫂

As someone who uses Klarna frequently, for the layaway one, I think she maybe was the asshole. Layaway means you’re splitting something up into at least four different payments. Just because he could afford to put a small amount doesn’t mean he could afford a whole gift. If you want something elaborate waiting until his next check is understandable if you guys are low on money.

I’m honestly very biased because I went through a very similar situation myself. In the end bc of how upset he was and how he treated me bc of it- I ended up happily returning his $300 gift. Over a layaway that was four payments of $7 🙄 maybe she should have just waited until he got paid again? Too bad there’s no update bc there isn’t a lot of context.

The 2nd story is wild to me because the commenters are enabling, what I believe to be, a really bad idea.
Let's say she does decide to only get her husband a card and do nothing else for his birthday, I see 3 possible ways that will go down (though I'm sure there's many more, these just immediately popped in my head):

1.) Husband doesn't care. He'll appreciate the card and that his Wife thought of him and just go on with his day. Then where will the Wife be? Left to stew in her negative feelings some more, that's where.
2.) Husband gets upset and asks why they aren't doing anything for his birthday like they did on the Wife's birthday and, presuming she tells him the truth, her answer will be, "You don't get me a gifts for my birthdays, so I decided to teach you a lesson (by hurting you)." All this might accomplish is making the Wife look petty and selfish. And it'll probably cause a fight.
3.) Husband gets upset but, like the Wife, decides to hide it and do what the Wife did... Not do anything special for her birthday the next year to "teach her a lesson," which could start a vicious cycle of them just being angry and neglectful towards each other on their birthdays.

Here's some actual advice: TALK. TO. YOUR. HUSBAND. Your spouse is not a mind reader just because you're married! If you would like a gift on your birthday then just tell him that! And if he still doesn't get you birthday gifts, communicate to him that you won't be going the extra mile for him anymore if he won't do the same for you.

Edit: "Teaching your wife/husband/gf/bf/partner/etc. a lesson" is a really shitty thing to do imo. Right up there with "testing" them. It feels vindictive af. Like, communication and compromise are always stressed to be incredibly important in a relationship of any kind, and "testing/teaching them a lesson" feels like you're throwing those 2 things out the window just cuz you're in your feelings and you don't wanna properly deal with the issue. Rescinding the efforts you put in to celebrate your husband, without even TALKING to him about it first, is not going to solve anything, it's just gonna make one/both of you upset.

After my dad was deployed to Afghanistan he had some fairly bad ptsd. Until he got counseling he required antidepressants to function around people, if he didn’t have them, he would be an angry annoyed guy always on his phone who didn’t care for anything or anyone. The man in the story who was off his antidepressants shouldn’t have acted as he did in normal society, but I think he may have some things going on that could cause stuff like that. He could be going through worse in his mind than op was in any capacity, even with the lingering trauma. But we just don’t know enough, so I could be very very wrong, but this is how I think after a childhood of having a parent with wartime ptsd. I do think they need therapy, and to actually talk stuff out, COMMUNICATION, PEOPLE.

Lmfao imagine this bastard on his phone while his child is on the goddamn deathbed because of trauma. If he's doing it to his spouse he's 100% gonna do it to the kid. And no I will not excuse the need for using antidepressants, that's no excuse to be a fuckhead like that to his own wife who is lucky to have survived.

Guaranteed he will treat the kid exactly the same if something happened to the mom and the child went into his custody and then had something happen to them.

Unfortunately, those men (not all men, but the ones who don't support their spouses through medical issues) aren't worried about losing their partner, they're worried about losing a bangmaid. Men divorce women who develop chronic or terminal health issues much more frequently than women divorce men over it :/

As someone who has horrible health issues (due to a fall, lol. You don't mess around with spines), I'm fairly conscious of the fact that I may never find someone who will love me enough to put up with my unreliable health. I mean, the most recent relationship I was in I was sworn at for being in pain the day after an excruciating medical procedure...

hi former teacher here. one thing my students taught me that i will hold forever is this:
what you say, how you say it and your intentions behind it mean absolutely nothing to someone who is hurt. Your intentions DO NOT matter when someone has been hurt

This guy gives off marine biologist vibes

Love the tradition of checking in with eye bleach at the end of these 👌🏻✨✨

I wonder if the daughter misunderstood the teacher? Maybe the teacher was like, DO be like Sarah’s mom? Since she was so obviously seen participating? Bc if no one else showed up why do THEY need to be reminded to check emails? To continue to not show up? What? It just doesn’t add up to me.

If she is talking crap though, having a tech support background this makes me think this is a “let me verify that I’ve got the correct email” kinda moment not a “instruct children to ensure that their parents are being responsible” kinda thing

On that first one, teachers singling out kids to shame them is just awful. When my mom was in first grade, her teacher was handing out red and black licorice, alternating colors as she passed by desks. My mom saw she would get black, and asked for red because she dislikes the flavor of black licorice. Her teacher MADE her stand up in the front of the class and told everyone "this is [my moms name] and she thinks she's special and that she just gets to ask for what she wants."

My mom is nearing 60, and she still gets embarrassed from this incident in first grade. And she STILL has a hard time asking for special treatment even when it'd be really helpful for her.

Oh. I take SSRIs, definitely avoid missing a day. I become a different person if I forgot to take one the night before. While I get why she is upset, I don't blame him either. Just an unfortunate situation for everyone. Moral of the story: don't forget to take your meds. (Yeah she isn't overreacting)

perfect intro xD

Daniel…. We need to talk about your microphone addiction…

First Story) My mom 10000% would be on the mom with the shamed daughter would agree with her. My mom truly feels kids shouldn't be punished for parent's actions. HER WHOLE BUSINESS IS "Kids are people too" WOULD YOU DO THAT DO A DUDE'S WIFE AND BE LIKE "Hannah's husband doesn't check our emails blah blah blah!!! Don't be like Hannah's husband!!" It legit does nothing. If she really wasn't checking the emails, you bring that up with her! NOT BULLY HER FREAKING KID!

Second Story) I have a love hate relationship with my birthday. The idea of growing old scares me (major fears not relating to appearance) but I also want people to acknowledge it and do stuff with me. If I were in her situation I'd be upset to if I put forth the effort do plan something for me and my hypothetical husband. Butttt I definitely would have had a talk about my feelings on that.

Third Story) First of all good kid. Kid may be on her and freaking out, but I mean imagine if you were a kid a kid that young and that happened to you mom. Anyways sweet kid being super worried about his mom :( Not a sweet dad though >:( OH GOD POTS I GOT POTS IT CAN SUCK DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY! Luckily, I am in a situation where I have fainting like once a year (this year was different though >:( how dare) But man have heard of people who have fainted while showering! I am so lucky that's never happened to me (knock on wood) Poor lady :(

When I was 4 my mom took me on a holiday to New Zealand to visit family. We walked into a store to get something & I saw a fluffy brown dog plush. The clerk read the name in the tag for me, its name was Basil. I begged & begged my mom for that toy. In my little child brain I knew that out of every toy I’d ever seen in my short life Basil was the one I wanted the most. I got really frustrated that I couldn’t communicate to my mom just how much I NEEDED Basil. For an hour I had a massive tantrum until my mom managed to drag me out “kicking & screaming”. I made sure to never forget Basil. I’m 19 now, that happened 15 years ago & I still bring up Basil. I will never forgive my mom.

The true surprise microphone of this video is when Daniel switched back to the wired microphone.

That book fair story is so weird. Not only did the parent make it, but the teacher could have made a much better example. Something like “Hey I’m glad you remembered, thanks for making it, I’d just appreciate you being on time in the future” comes off much better than “Everyone make sure that your parents read the email and don’t forget about events”

"Tomantha" has real Jimothy energy

WE'RE GONNA GET PISSED OFF FOR NO REASON WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥

Teaching kids being a hard profession doesn't make it okay for teachers to act like little tyrants. I've seen so many teachers in my time just taking out any frustrations they had in life on us kids and nobody could hold them accountable unless the kid dared speak to their parents about it.

your girlfriend is a lucky lady

That intro sounded crazy before I looked at the vid

Unfortunately, what that woman in the third story had in that hospital room was TWO children. One of them was just wearing a grown-up suit.

Next Daniel thrasher video: the weird therapist😂

Hey Daniel,
Just wanted to say I really appreciate your video's and hope you are doing well.❤

When my appendix burst and marinaded, once I finally got into the hospital my partner came to the hospital every day during visiting hours to check in on me, bring me a coke or something I asked for. He never seemed concerned then - But a long time after I asked him about it and he admitted he got choked up about it because I could've died. I love him very much. ❤❤ Please be safe everyone.

related to the first story i have a story about when i was in year 5 (about 9 or 10 years old). so im dyslexic, autistic and most probably have adhd too so ive always been awful with homework. always hated it. our homework was to read a book every day for each week and write or draw a little summary of what we read and i hated reading. i would always draw something really quickly before school and usually straight in pen. my teacher was not a very good teacher to me. we had to write things up perfectly and if we made too many mistakes we had to redo it and it was impossible for me. i cried infront of the class twice because of her. so one day she calls my class to look and shes holding my homework and another girls homework. she tells the rest of the class about how not to do homework and that MY homework was bad cause it was straight in pen, not coloured and messily drawn but this other girls was perfect and everything homework should be. she singled me out completely and it felt absolutely awful to have a teacher call me out in front of the whole class and say i wasnt good enough. its been 7 years since then and its still stuck with me. never got me to put that much effort into homework though

I can't wait for the day that the perfectly cut scream + explosion for the surprise mic makes a comeback

It is actually proven that if a woman gets serious illness/injury men are most likely to leave the woman. But if a man gets serious injury/illness a woman is most likely to stay with a man. 😢

I keep thinking you have a model of the death star behind you, but it's a speaker

Daniel have you read The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green? It’s one of my favorite non-fiction books and I found it quite entertaining.
