just need to vent

my Husband is an ass.

we are down to 1 car no problem I work from home but now I am stranded because he went on a guys trip and my mother was rushed to the hospital. she lives an 1 1/2 away from me. Husband is 2 1/2 hours away from our home has been claiming he is coming back since 11 am.

he has yet to show up! His family is in trouble I drop everything, and I am there to help but my husband is more worried about disappointing his friends than helping me.


I don't know what to do.

I would sat do not capitalize husband, If you had vows about being together during tough times, tell him he has failed at those. And if he feels his friends and family are top priority he has become a so called husband,

Stay safe!

If you can't rent or borrow, there is very little you CAN do. Except wait for him, and maybe talk to your mom as much as you can while you do.

Keep us posted. You will get through this.

That's for you to decide.

But I can offer my opinion that he sounds thoughtless and that I can understand your frustration.

Is there anyone else near you, friend, neighbor, or relative who would be willing and able to give you transportation to see your mother?

Can you speak to someone at the hospital for information on how your mother is doing? Maybe if/when she's able to communicate you can speak with her at the hospital by phone.

All you can do right now is just get through. I am sorry about your Mother. Venting helps a little but it does not solve things. Many hugs.
