What does one do in such a situation as this one?
Question by watercoloursfmr: What does one do in such a situation as this one?
My friends have invited me to goto India with them . They are visiting the husband’s family who live on a farm in Punjab India. I must take a Tyfoid needle, malaria tablets, watcg out for snakes on the farm and be with his wife who is suffering from a Bad Gall Bladder. I booked a ticket and cancelled it bec they wife had an attack on Tues and needs surgery but she is putting it off for a few weeks to go to India on Holidays at the end of Nov and returning in Feb 2008.I feel somewhat ackward about it all. I told the husband and he feels I should come along and enjoy myself. YEAH, and what if the wife has another attack??? What about if I want to go somewhere and I don’t know how to travel in India?I was only going for one month and then i thought it was too much trouble for me.The husband is a controlling, self-interest person and if he thinks his wife is dying and he puts it them possibly she is and I do not want to be there whenit happens. He says I should be more thoughtful . Yeah??!

Good for you for backing out! This trip is not for you and you have the sense to realise this. Lots of issues going on here that have nothing to do with you. Be a friend for the wife if you like but stay out of her personal life.
I wouldn’t go! If you truly feel your friend is that bad off, you should talk to her, try and talk her into seeing a doctor and postponing the trip.
You do know there is no guarantees in life and that you should make the most out of every blessing you receive… don’t you?
So quit being a —- and go. Enjoy your life.
Good luck.
Tell him to hire a travel nurse and leave you at home. This doesn’t sound like a relaxing/peaceful vacation.
I would not leave the USA. Too many if’s.
look, if you don’t want to go then don’t. i wouldn’t go with a guy like that either. his wife probably isn’t dying but i can almost guarantee she’ll have another attack. gallbladder pain is unlike any other. she’d be wise to stay home too and have it taken care of.
Perhaps you should go with a tour group and stay away from these people until she is well enough to resume your friendship.
Joy to you!
do not go simple you now you do not want to.
Get different friends!!
