Husband refuses to drop me off or pick me up from the hospital. Now what?

My husband refuses to drop me off or pick me up from the hospital. He disagrees with my decision to have surgery. I expected this but now need a plan. For those who have a spouse like mine or kept your surgery a secret, how did you arrange for hospital pick-up/ drop-off? Uber? Swear a friend to secrecy?

    I find it super annoying that people need to stress how supportive their spouses are obviously knowing yours is not. Literally no advice, just a boast on “my husbands better than yours” pretty much ..

  • I'm sorry your husband isn't being supportive. I live alone and I chose not to tell anyone about my surgery other than medical professionals, so a ride to and from the hospital was an issue for me as

I’m also so sorry your going through this. I went through something similar and you must stay strong and focused on your own needs right now. I had the surgery two years ago. Every day my husband checks my clothes and fights with me about what I wear etc. I am living my best life right now. I finally love to dress for work. But the best part is I’m healthy and vibrant again. So I say the hell with him. I’m sure you can find someone to get you there. Good luck and feel free to reach out if you need encouragement
