My husband had surgery a few days ago. His mother and her husband came to the hospital and waited with me. When the surgeon came to the waiting room, he asked for anyone who was with my husband, and my mother-n-law and I both raised our hands and he came over and knelt down in front of her (She was sitting against a wall caticornered to me). He talked to her the whole time about the surgery, what was to be expected and home care. He looked at me a couple of time, but focused his attention on her most of the conversation. I was dumbfounded that he was practically ignoring me, but I didn't want to be petty by saying "Hey I am his wife, can you talk to me?". She never said anything to him like "That is his wife right there. Maybe you should tell her." When we got in his room, she became a mother hen, helping him go to the bathroom, fluffing his bedding, and asking the nurse questions. I couldn't even open my mouth before she was asking something. I felt like an outsider. Opinions?
