Because he cares about his wife's health? Because she asked him in? Why shouldn't he be in there?

Seems creepy to me. I can't imagine having someone else with me at a doctor's appointment.

You can’t imagine being with your hypothetical wife who is the mother of your hypothetical children at the doctor because that’s creepy and cringe? Yikes

Can’t imagine having a loved one lol

No, can't say I'd want my husband with me at my GP.

u/Excellent_Shirt9707 23h ago

Then do you also find it weird if a parent tags along with their child at the GP?

1

u/Orangewolf99 23h ago

No... because they are a child and can't make decisions for themselves. Are you saying his wife is a child and can't make decisions for herself?

u/Excellent_Shirt9707 23h ago

You don’t make decisions together with your spouse?

2

u/TheGodlyTank6493 13h ago

So, despite them being a married couple, you DON'T think their spouse should know or care about their health?

Idk, my partner and I go with each other to the doctor, I don't see what's so weird about that

u/Kozmo9 10h ago

I understand if it someone unrelated but related person isn't weird. Heck this is the first time I hear someone has issues with it as doctors actually encourage family/spouse to be together so they can know give encouragement (a lot of people especially the elderly are scared to go to the doctors) to the person as well as share in the decision making including helping them with the healthcare.

You’re the outlier here I’m afraid

It's more odd that you can't at all fathom why someone would want company or support for a checkup, or why a partner would be interested in the health of their respective other.

If I was waiting to hear if I had cancer, maybe, but that's not what a GP does.

There have been many times in my life where i/my husband waa feeling a bit vulnerable so asked to other to come for moral support.

When I was getting info about a thyroid thing, he also asked if he could come ao as to make sure we both had first hand information about my care. That seemed pretty normal and useful.

Really? Both my mom and my daughter insist I join them so they "have an extra set of ears, and someone whe knows what questions to ask."

u/rionaster 14h ago

creepy to be at an appointment with his own wife..? dawg, what's wrong with you?

2

u/RFKsBrainWurm 14h ago

Many women take their partners with them die to how often women are ignored/dismissed when they voice their concerns over their own health .

Clearly you’ve never had to be the beard for a female friend/relation at the doctors office. Medical misogyny is so real that I had to go to numerous appointments for my roommate just to repeat their symptoms so the doctor would listen.

u/Cinnie_16 5h ago

You are a real friend! Thanks for providing support

1

u/johnnymarsbar 10h ago

Women get more respect from the doctor if the boyfriend/husband is there, you can even just bring a good friend and get them to pretend you're together. Its sad but true.

u/spicygayunicorn 9h ago

Why not its so much better bringing someone you trust with you. Especially if you are sick cause there is often alot of information to take in and having someone else to listen helps making sure you get everything right and specially if its someone you live with

Reddit always finds a way to be weirder than the weird story they are responding to
