A woman says that after a scooter accident she did not go to the hospital with her ex-boyfriend, and he now calls her ‘selfish’.
The woman, 31, described the situation on the ‘Am I the A ——-‘ Forum of Reddit on 3 February. 2024, but “he finally dumped me on Christmas Eve.”
She continues to share that although things have been ‘really rough’ since then, she has had Aiden, 26, living with her until he is able to go to his own place – ‘the official relocation date by March 1. “She also noticed that she recently had Aiden borrowed her electric scooter, so that he can commute to a new job.
The Redditor says that the current problems started when Aiden ran a red light while he was on the scooter and was hit by a car, apparently slight injuries.
She says she was sitting outside their house and waited for Aiden after the accident, helped him inside and “he resolved him with the first aid kit.” However, she said that it soon became clear that he might have a broken arm, at what point she “encouraged him to go there” and “gave him some pain medicine and money for an Uber.”

“Here I could be the A ——“, “she continued.
‘He asked me if I would go with him [to the ER] And I said I couldn’t do it because I had extremely important work to do that evening for a few hours, “she explained, and added that Aiden seemed to be good to go alone.
However, this is where things started to go south.
The woman says her ex “started to blow my phone with calls and aggressive texts,” and added that “it was so disruptive that I had to get away [from work] And when he finally answered the phone, he left how he needed me and I was not there, how serious his condition was and [that he] I want me to bring him things for the ‘long’ hospital stay. ‘

The original poster (OP) – who says she is currently paying the part of her ex, because he was recently without work – says she was so shocked that she finally had to step out of work.
She further shared that she eventually went to the hospital to bring Aiden his requested personal items and to ‘de-escalate’-on what time she discovered that he had greatly exaggerated his condition and in fact should not stay at night .
“I was really disgusting and only about 10 [minutes] Or so before I went back home to restore my work items, “she explained.
The situation only got worse from there.

“An hour later he comes home and shouts at me about how selfish I am because I did not go with him and put my job for his needs. Everything I did completely ignore to help within my power and the fact that I had to cancel the work for him, “wrote the OP.
She says that Aiden “pulled her” because she did not accompany him to the hospital and claimed that she should have known that he needed her support at that time without having to ask.

“He broke up. There is absolutely no reason for you to be there and holding his hand while he is in the hospital because of his own stupidity. You are nice enough to solve him and give him money for an Uber when he has not contributed, “wrote Redditor.
Another person agreed that it is not the wrong one – but said she has a role to play in a poisonous dynamic.
“He’s your ex. Why on earth would you go to the hospital for him? You left the work to pamper his toxicity instead of blocking his number and going back to work. You were irresponsible to do that, but had no bad intentions, so no AH [a——]. He is because he thinks you owe him one thing after separating, “said a commentator.
“NTA,” wrote another and added, “except to yourself because you let your AH EX live with you for free, months.”
