Thank you for the reply.

My mom did tell him complications happened and I saw the messages sent – it was more so informing him and not easing him. She also sugar coated it. He’s also not comfortable talking about his emotions with other people except for me.

I spoke to him finally today (2 days after my surgery) and I broke down because I finally got to talk to him.  We are both very much involved with each others emotions and this week has been very disconnected. For context I don’t have a big family and I don’t have a very trustful or emotional connection with my mom, so he is so important to me.

I feel guilty that I expected more from him when he is obviously very overwhelmed. I told him the full story today and it felt so relieving to get off my chest. He’s made more of an effort to speak to me today.

I still feel guilty for feeling abandoned yet understanding his situation. Anxiety really does blur the whole picture.

What is your advice for feeling guilty about something as silly as this situation?
