I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.

Wait. This is common? I was there for every second of my child’s birth.

Have you seen all the TikTok of guys bringing their gaming consoles to the birthing rooms? God forbid they try and be attentive to these women bearing their children. You can just see the divorce brewing .

My partner had gull stones, we didn't know. I drove her to the hospital, advocated for her pain. Then followed an ambulance to another hospital where they could do the surgery in the morning, advocated for her their until they told me I had to leave the hospital. I slept in my car in the middle of winter in the parking lot, so I could be close if something happened.

Then after her surgery it was about a week later she was about an hour out of town and she had another episode just like before, but this wasn't supposed to happen because they removed her gull bladder. So now I'm by her bed advocating for her in this hospital for a day while they try to figure out what is wrong (turns out they spilled some stones and they where still in the duct/track or whatever. So she needed another surgery. That night I was told I couldn't be in the room with her overnight again, so back to my car I go. Then one of the nurses taps on my window and tells me I can stay in her room but need to leave when she tells me to in the morning and then come back during "visiting" hours.

Between her gull stones, the ectopic pregnancy, I couldn't imagine not being their advocating for her. Let alone on my Playstation, I was too busy up the nurses and doctors asses making sure her pain meds where given on schedule so she could actually sleep! I love men, but some of us are kinda fucking stupid and selfish. I don't want to think they don't care; maybe they just don't really know what to do in a situation like that?
