So a little background my FH hadn't been to see a dentist in about 7 years, in September last year we were at a friends wedding in Ottawa and after the wedding he was complaining of a migraine, so I gave him my migraine meds (over the counter stuff) and put him to bed. He wakes me up at 2:00 am in excruciating pain and he need to go to the hospital, so I get up and ask the hotel clerk where the nearest hospital is and get him over there. I drop him off at the emerge and he tells me to go back to the hotel for some sleep. He calls 2 hours later to be picked up turns out it's an abscessed tooth so they give him a shot of pain killers and antibiotics and send him home with a prescription, and I drive back to Toronto.
I finally get him into see my dentist and we have literally seen him every other week since February 11th. So he knows he needs to have the two teeth that are abscessed removed, and he's been putting it off and putting it off. Well I get a phone call from him on his lunch break not to be alarmed but his tooth is hurting, this was how it started last time. and he thinks it's time to have the tooth removed.
So I get on the phone to the dental office trying to get him an appointment on his only day off next week to have it removed, but we need antibiotics to stop the infection so they can remove it and of course the dentist isn't there. I end up having to call the dentist at the other location get him on the phone and explain that FH tooth has flared up again he's booked to have it removed a week tomorrow and FH needs meds to deal with this for a week. I end up having to get the dentist to call in the prescription, and have to pick it up for FH, ask my parents for the car so I can get him home since I don't know what kind of condition he'll be in afterwards as he's a lot afraid of the dentist and they will have to sedate him before hand.
Why can't he be the responsible adult for once? Why couldn't he have made the appointment and dealt with this before it got really bad again? I am wondering if it is safe to have children with this man as he's a big kid himself.

| Why didn't he just do all the leg work? b/c he knows you will!! My FH is the same way, he drives me crazy the moral of the story is men are all just huge toddlers that go from mommy taking care of them to wifey taking care of them ((hugs)) I feel your pain tho...stoopid men!

haha - this behavior is not exclusive to men. my future wife will call me from work and ask me to call her doctor's office to make her an appointment. somehow the call to me is easier than calling the doctor herself. At the moment I think it's kinda cute. 20 years from now probably not so much.

I swear I don't know how my DH gets through life.
After TWO years of asking him to go to the dentist I finally just made an appointment for him at my dentist, told the receptionist he was a baby and that she should make sure to call him to remind him of the date.
