I’ve been with my boyfriend for over 3 years.
He had to fly to a stag party and I had to fly to my parents house. We happened to be able to get the same flight to London, then he was going to get a connecting flight to the stag party, I was going to go back to my parents.
On the way to the airport I started to get endo pain. Stress makes endo pain a thousands times worse but my boyfriend kept niggling me. We get off the airport shuttle bus and he’s rushing me to get to security. He doesn’t help me with my suitcase (he was just carrying his back park.) He keeps looking back at me barking at me to hurry up. I honestly don’t know how I managed to even walk in that amount pain, if you know you know.
We get to security and all I can do is focus on getting through it. However the security ask me if i’m okay as I look very pale, i’m sweating and just generally must look messed up.
We get through security, I say we but he just walked off ahead of me. I then ask him if he can go and get me the stronger pain killers in the shops. He comes back and says “these better work they were expensive.”
If you have endo you know it hurts just to have your jeans on, so I get out my jogging bottoms to put them on. When I come back he’s speaking to some woman our age whose getting the same connection as him…
He basically ignores me. Then the air hostess comes up and says if they want to be moved to the front of the plane so they can get off sooner to get the connecting flights. Without a second thought he says yes! So now he’s not even sitting next to me.
We queue to get on the plane and he’s just like bye! And he doesn’t even get up once during the flight to check on me. I’m scrunched up in a ball getting side eyed by other passengers. I probably look hungover. I feel like my uterus is going to explode.
The plane lands and he fucks off. Doesn’t even say goodbye. I get to baggage claim (somehow) and literally lie on the floor. I’m in so much pain.
I manage to get out of the airport and collapse onto the grass outside. I can’t even book a taxi to go home because it hurts to sit in a moving car. I need to wait for the pain to pass more.
He then that night sends updates of his stag party into his family groupchat and doesn’t even private message me.
In the moment I was in so much pain it didn’t even register how messed up what he did was. He would always make me feel like a burden. My endo is now more under control and i’m getting the right treatment but seriously, i’ve never been made to feel so small and insignificant in my entire life.
