Am I overreacting?

r/

I got all 4 impacted wisdom teeth out yesterday. I’m in a lot of pain, but I’ve been “functional” through it, because that’s just who I am.

Yesterday my husband was off with me all day and helped me keep track of when I could have another pain killer, stuff like that.

Today he had to work, not his fault. I wrote down the pain killer times myself and slept a lot.

I’m still in a lot of pain And my face is very swollen. I’m really insecure about how I look right now and definitely can’t go out. My husband wants to go out for drinks with our friends tomorrow without me and it makes me upset.

I think, if he were the one wholed up in pain, I wouldn’t go out without him. When he is sick and I’m not, I don’t go out without him, because I care and want to make sure he’s okay. He says that’s just my decision.

I’m not sure if I’m just emotional from the drugs, but it seems shitty that he can’t sacrifice one weekend of socializing to stay in with me and comfort me. I don’t really need help getting around or getting myself food, just the comfort of him being around. Am I just clingy??
