There&#39;s making someone else&#39;s pain all about you, and then there&#39;s this story.A married couple <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/cgxlli/aita_for_mentioning_that_i_had_a_chronic/" target="_blank">posted on Reddit</a> about how much the husband complained about a toothache while the wife gave birth to their first child. The husband posted first to ask if he was an a**hole, and then the wife chimed in with her side of the story &mdash; and it all went downhill from there.Spoiler alert: he is definitely the a**hole.The husband claims he just mentioned the toothache a few times, while the wife tells things differently. Here&#39;s what he said:<blockquote> My wife went into labor three weeks early so somewhat unexpectedly. Over the prior couple months I had started developing an intermittent toothache. About two or three hours into the 19 hour labor, I probably ate something delicious. </blockquote>Telling us you ate something delicious while your wife was at the beginning of her suffering is not a great way to garner sympathy, but go on.<div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> After eating something delicious, I can&rsquo;t quite remember what it was, my tooth started hurting in an ungodly way. I&rsquo;m talking sharp, eye-watering pain. Her contractions at this point were very far apart, and she was in very little discomfort. </blockquote>She was &quot;in very little discomfort&quot;? Dig that hole a little deeper, buddy.<blockquote> Over the next couple of hours the toothache became a competing topic of conversation with the imminent birth of our first child. I didn&rsquo;t want to leave her side to look for medicine until her parents arrived. </blockquote>The imminent birth of your first child is not a &quot;topic of conversation,&quot; it&#39;s a super important and potentially traumatic event that demands 100% attention of everyone involved but okay.<blockquote> Once they arrived, to my surprise I was able to find an oral numbing medication at the hospital convenience store. That with a couple Excedrin was able to alleviate the pain just as my wife&rsquo;s contractions started to pick up. Am I the asshole for discussing my mouth pain during her labor? </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>By the way, the headline of this Reddit post was &quot;AITA for mentioning that I had a chronic toothache while my wife was in labor?&quot; but even the husband&#39;s story makes it clear he went beyond &quot;mentioning&quot; his tooth pain.As if this wasn&#39;t enough, the wife then weighed in with her side of the story &mdash; and it&#39;s damning. Here are the deets:<blockquote> My husband had been complaining about a toothache for months and months throughout my first pregnancy. It kept getting worse, and every time he&rsquo;d complain I&rsquo;d say he should go to the dentist, but he refused. </blockquote>Ah, a straight man refusing to get medical help despite the clear signs that he needs to, not to mention urging from everyone around him. That old chestnut.<blockquote> So as he mentioned, as I was in labor he started to once again complain about this tooth pain. Granted I wasn&rsquo;t in terrible pain, but for a few hours while I was in the hospital getting ready to push a child out of my body he continued to complain frequently about his toothache. I did feel bad he was uncomfortable, but I had asked him multiple times to get it checked out, and there were other things at the moment I felt I should be focusing on. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>Um, yeah. Like helping bring his own child into the world.<blockquote> I&rsquo;d like to also mention it wasn&rsquo;t just he mentioned once or twice his tooth was hurting, this dominated the conversation for probably a couple hours. He is a great father and husband, but is he also the asshole? </blockquote>It&#39;s hardly surprising that this man minimized his own part in the labor. But somehow, this couple is still together and has been &quot;debating&quot; whether this was a d*ck move or not for two years.Thankfully, the people of Reddit were able to put this issue to bed by definitively stating that this dude was an a**hole.User <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/cgxlli/aita_for_mentioning_that_i_had_a_chronic/eum6wa1/">NStark7474 </a>said the husband was in the wrong &quot;because you refuse to get it treated. At some point you should stop expecting sympathy, because you don&rsquo;t deserve it.&quot;<div className="ad-splitter"></div>&quot;Did you think it would go away? Or be less irritating with little sleep and a newborn to care for? You know you should&rsquo;ve dealt with it,&quot; said <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/cgxlli/aita_for_mentioning_that_i_had_a_chronic/eumu4k2/">abrookman1987</a>.<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/cgxlli/aita_for_mentioning_that_i_had_a_chronic/eunbd9q/">Unabletoattend</a> pointed out that it must&#39;ve been stressful for the wife to realize while giving birth to a baby that she also happened to be married to one.&quot;You need to have your st together as you prepare for parenthood,&quot; they said. &quot;On top of the horrible timing of his complaint, he was reminding her of his inability to be a f*ing adult who handles their own business. She needed a partner to support her and he was acting like a man baby. How incredibly stressful for her!&quot;Another <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/cgxlli/aita_for_mentioning_that_i_had_a_chronic/eum7w7b/">user</a> hilariously asked, &quot;Did you have to push the tooth out of your penis?&quot; Seems like the answer is no.<div className="ad-splitter"></div>In comments on the post, the couple confirmed that the man later had a root canal. The comeuppance is sweet, although three or four root canals would be a more equitable punishment.So there you have it.
