Again, what was the husband's excuse? For all I know , maybe he was falling apart at the seams crying in his car because he thought she might die and didn't want wifey to see him?
Perhaps he has a phobia or faints at the sight of blood or injury. It really depends on his other characteristics. Yes, it seems horrible, but that doesn't mean it IS.
If my husband did that to me, first he would need the ER when I got done with him, then he would be sleeping in the dog house for a very, very long time. BTW, the dog would be in the house with me sleeping on his side of the bed.
Totally self-centered idiot. No excuse for it at all. This is not a man, but a child who only cares about himself. A person who is badly off enough to warrant a trip to an ER is a person who might need a next-of-kin to make decisions or otherwise provide support.
Here's the thing. If you are a grown-up, then you sometimes do the things that are unpleasant, tedious, and whatever else on behalf on the ones you love. Anything less makes you an unworthy partner in the relationship.

I agree completely, to me something like that is a "deal" breaker so to speak.
I have had medical issues in the past and my SO was with me the whole time.
I couldn't imagine for the life of me pulling up to the ER and opening the door and her getting out and me driving over and parking the car and waiting for her to get out.
Forget "man" or "woman" issues, it is just a simple humanity thing. I expect good behavior from either sex.
So if your husband took you to the Emergency Room and when you get there he sits in the car and waits for you refusing to even walk you in.
Our neighbors husband just did this tonight.. my wife would kill me.. what about you?
A lot of it depends on why she went to the emergency room to begin with.
If she was having serious chest pains, shortness of breath and unable to speak or was dizzy, then I would say that he should go in with her. However, if she went to the emergency room because she doesn't have health insurance and she wasn't "feeling well" or had a sore throat or a cold or a temperature under 104 degrees or a non-life threatening injury (like a cut that required less than 20 stitches) or something like that. I wouldn't even have bothered driving her there to begin with.
Emergency rooms are for life-threatening EMERGENCIES.
Even if my SO(I'm single) and I were at each others neck and at the end of the rope, I cannot find it in me to not care to that extent.
I would show compassion and even carry her if I had to, to the emergency room, and stay until I am able to see her and make sure she's comfortable or if she needs anything.
I just can't be like that.
