AITA for ruining my husband's day off plans by staying with a friend in the hospital?
Post Body

I've been working a lot lately, because one of my coworkers has needed the time off for personal reasons. So, I've already been away from home more. I'm normally home after 6pm though. My husband and I don't normally do much at that time, but we are together.

Today, my husband and I made plans. First, I had to take a friend to the eye doctor. Her appointment was at 9:30 am, and I'd hoped to get home not long after. Then, I'd be free for our plans. He had an appointment for his car around 1pm. Then, he'd be free for our plans.

So, at her appointment, my friend ends up passing out, and I called an ambulance. I used to be a carer for her, and this is not her first episode. I knew she'd be okay, but I didn't have the tools to take care of her like I previously had while working at the facility. So, the ambulance comes, she's doing better. They take her away and leave myself and her wheelchair. I called my husband to pick me up, because I had left my car at her facility, and we'd ridden together in a wheelchair transport car.

So, my husband made the trip down to come get me and take me to my car. The whole time, I've been trying to get ahold of the facility so they can call her daughter and arrange transport for when she's let out. They keep giving me the run around, didn't give me the daughter's number, and said that the hospital would figure out transportation. At that point, I just told my husband I was going to stay with my friend in the hospital, because I want to actually make sure that she gets where she needs to go.

My husband became very upset with me. I was upset, too. I get it. We'd planned on getting my wedding rings resized today, and it seems like things keep getting in the way of us doing that. He lashed out at me, and said, "see you tonight." That made me upset, because I hadn't planned for this, obviously. I was and am also disappointed, but this situation with my friend is more pressing. I tried rubbing his neck and comforting him, and he pushed me away and said my hands were too clammy. I also told him to enjoy his day and tried making things more lighthearted, but he wasn't having it and kept making snide remarks. We got to my car, and he continued to be rude to me, so I kind of mildly blew up.

I didn't yell, but I did raise my voice in an exasperated way and said something like, "So sorry to inconvenience you, because I obviously did this so we wouldn't spend time together today." It rightfully upset him, and he peeled out in the parking lot and left everyone staring at me.

I'm in the hospital now, and my friend is falling asleep. She's doing fine. She normally does after an episode, but I didn't want to leave her alone without a plan. I would like to get out soon and spend time with my husband, but right now we're waiting for her cat scan results. AITA?
