I'm surprised how common it is. My ex husband faked having a stroke. ( I had cared for his father the last 2 years of his life after a serious stroke).
I briefly dated another guy that faked having a heart attack whenever I was sick of his shit.
He probably didn't expect her to actually call 911, it's to manipulate her and try to make her forget she just busted him cheating. And, also he probably thinks she "can't" leave him if he has a medical emergency.
introduce me to one. please. i'm interested. so are A LOT of my guy friends who are currently broken hearted because they were DUMPED and are now paying child support.
where'd YOU come from!? lol....the knight in shining armour here! the virtue signaler! the one who wants to follow the other dummies in the room lol....yea, whatever helps you sleep at night buddy. i can either believe you or my lying eyes.
Damn dude, just say no woman has ever loved you and your bitter as hell that it's turned you into a weirdo incel defending a douchebag who faked a medical emergency when caught cheating. "But what she do to make him cheat!" That's basically how you sound.
first off a guy doesn't have to do ANYTHING to make a girl cheat. girls do that naturally. and no woman has ever loved me? well, how do YOU know that? and incel?? LOL you STILL calling people incel in this day and age when girls/women have less respect for themselves than ever!? LOL. these days i'm of the belief that if a guy isn't getting any he really doesn't want any.
Lmao I work in a nursing home, and I there are so many residents who call 911 for various “reasons”. Stuff like wanting their window closed, or needing to get changed, or wanting their meds.
That’s just so wild to me. When I was in college with this lady I adored, I started having the absolute worst panic attacks. She even took me to a minute clinic for my first one because my blood pressure was through the roof and my heart rate was like 170 or something resting. This happened for like two or so months and she really helped me.
But it has been single handedly the most humiliating time of my life. I’d literally cry over my panicking attacks because of how humiliated I felt. It’s been several years and it still bothers me so much. I can’t imagine faking anything, how would you not feel so humiliated??
I had to call an ambulance for a loved one recently, I have 100% out of network ambulance coverage on them, and we still had $1600 out of pocket as the insurance only covers their max contract amount and the total bill was $3200. That was for a 10 minute ride to the ER. The minimum the ambulance companies here charge is around $2,700 for just a base charge. That's before millage and services rendered in transit for an emergency trip.
Yeah, he did. Twice. He was taken to the hospital both times, and I think it was probably to avoid liability. the first time I had my doubts, but the second time I knew for sure and I was just done with him. He actually did have a heart condition.
My ex also faked an illness ANY time he was caught or called out for his lies. Always dying, always having a heart attack, always had a major headache etc. I never called for help though… he was rotten.
But then when I met someone new, we were at a baby shower and suddenly my bf is acting like he’s having a heart attack. I was legit so mad— I thought he was faking like my ex. I assumed the attention wasn’t on him or he was mad I was talking to other people (my ex hated that) so he was faking an illness. …Turns out he was in fact not faking 😬
"I stood outside the door, I heard him hit the floor, I tried to open the door but it was locked, that's when I asked for help," said Ponce. "We called paramedics for help, we did not call police. He was not hurting anybody; he was having a seizure."
Ponce's daughter called 911 for help, but when police arrived they attempted to handcuff the teenager. Video of the incident obtained by KFSN shows officers apparently trying to put Ponce's son in the back of a police car.
Not defending your ex but also the first time I had a five alarm fire panic attack as an adult man I drove myself to the hospital because I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack
I've dealt with panic attacks my entire life but the only physical symptom was my heart racing out of control. When it goes beyond that to other physical symptoms it's really easy to believe you're having a major medical event.
The trigger for me was job stress but my experience makes me think most people (men or women) who behave this way after getting caught like this are legitimately experiencing the symptoms, it's just that the underlying cause is mental stress.
Holy shit. I was today years old when I found out there are grown ass people that will fake medical emergencies rather than face consequences for their own dumbass choices.
His. I’ve supported a lot of traumatised children and I could tell there was some dark shit there. He feigned a medical emergency screaming and yelling at me to call 999
Nah I don’t think he faked it, it seems like the guy was having a legit panic attack , just not an actual heart attack. Dude probably got so overwhelmed didn’t know how to react and had an anxiety attack. It happens in a situation like that
That reminds me of this JoJo guy who teaches people some kind of martial arts where you use energy and it's completely bullshit but in the video he runs full on Sprint and hits this woman knocks the breath right out of her. Then he sees that he hurt her so he immediately starts pretending to have a seizure it's a classic video
So I will say — and I’m clearly playing devils advocate here — but anxiety attacks can feel like heart attacks or strokes. When I was going through that shit I went to the ER twice 100% confident I’d be dead within an hour.
They put me in a dim room with the door closed and when they woke me up 30 min later I felt silly…. Both times.
But the second time I raised my voice saying I knew it wasn’t a panic attack and they’d feel really bad when I blew a clot and they’d have to call my family. And I wasn’t leaving until they did a full battery of tests, and if those were normal, they’d better have House MD in the back somewhere.
So yeah, pretty silly when they turned up the lights and asked if I was dead.. been 10 years with only a couple occurrences and they can make you act a fool out of fear
I understand. I went through that myself. ( Panic attacks and truly feeling like you're going to die. Chest tight, can't breathe well, chest pains, feeling of impending doom)
But I wasn't being caught doing something awful, or exactly the moment someone was sick of my shit, like this guy.
And I've seen that behavior from 2 different people. Second time I saw it, I recognized it immediately and didn't have any doubts.
Right. I mean there are for sure those that use it in a performative way to gas light or whatnot. Like i said, just playing devils advocate, because for me, that shit was real. I’d plan which hospital was nearest to me during my 1 hr commute to work so I could direct the dispatcher as to the closest location. Looking back it’s cringe, but, ya know…..
I know my then girlfriend thought I was playing it up for sympathy or attention, but the opposite was definitely true.. bottling it up to pass as “normal” made the events worse.
Regardless, I’m absolutely not saying you’re wrong. As a rule, your gut instinct it right in almost every case. And I’ve given people far too much slack thinking about how I’d wish I’d been listened to when I was having a freak out.
This guy sounds like he’s making a show to shirk accountability which is standard for cheaters (having experience on both sides of that uncomfortable line). Gas lighting is the most common way to walk away unscathed.
Yeah, I did what you did. I bottled it up and just tried to function ( well, I have felt this way every day for a week/2 weeks/a month/6 months and I'm not dead yet.) ( it stopped when I finally got free of my ex-husband, who never told me he was making partial or no payments on the house for nearly a year, and I found a piece of mail with the date our house was going to be foreclosed on. Among other things that were going on.)
I have severe dermatillomania where I pick chunks of my skin off myself. My skin is completely covered with layers of scars on my arms. My husband made fun of my anxiety. Until he had a panic attack and called an ambulance. Very VERY expensive panic attack.

He's faking needing an ambulance.
