Surgery is a huge deal for most people even if it is a "routine" surgery or even something we've done before.

We are back again today with yet another awesome Reddit post that we wanted to look at today. These posts are always so fun and interesting to read, especially when we get into the comments that people left on the post as well.

We want to share these posts to get even more opinions on the situation and see what you all have to say about everything. That's why today we are bringing you another post that was submitted, this time by a husband looking to see if he is TA or not.

Basically, he said that he decided to go to work the afternoon of his wife's emergency surgery to get her appendix removed. His reasoning wasn't great, and a lot of people told him that he didn't make the best choice in this situation.

Ultimately though, this one has a few different opinions based on the way that they all feel about it. So with this being said, we want to see how you all feel and see whether or not you think that the husband is in the wrong for making this choice.

So without further ado, let's dive in and see what happened in this story, plus take a look at all the awesome comments people left too.

OP starts off his post by explaining the situation that happened prior to this whole hospital scenario.

This is where he explains why he might be in the wrong and he explains why he went to work his shift instead of stay at the hospital with his wife.

He says that obviously his wife is upset and said that she felt abandoned by him. He the gives some info on what his mom and her parents think.

This person immediately commented saying that he was TA because his wife was counting on him to be there for her during her surgery.

This person really broke it down into a perspective that really makes sense when you look at the bigger picture and the whole situation.

Unfortunately it probably was a smarter and better decision for OP to go to work rather than stay with his wife.

This person also leaves a couple of edits to explain their POV on why they are thinking this way in this particular situation.

It really just comes down to the fact that his wife wasn't alone at all and that he didn't really want to risk losing the job he just got.

Most people said that there was NAH because OP made a decision he felt he needed to make and his wife was clearly not alone and she was fine.

This person said that he should feel a little bad in case there were any complications and he was at work, instead of with his wife at the hospital.

Ultimately a lot of people said that he did what he needed to do for her and she was okay there with his and her family. He didn't abandon her and he's NTA.

We can understand both perspectives with this because the wife was probably scared and wanted her husband there, but also, the husband had other factors that he needed to consider. We are glad that the wife ended up having a smooth and successful surgery, so hopefully, their situation will resolve quickly.
