My husband took me off his emergency contact without telling me

Listener Write In

I (33F) and my husband (34M) have been married for 7 years. I’m very health-conscious and we each have each other as emergency contacts on medical records, phones, everything.

Last week, I was in a minor car crash (thankfully fine). While giving information to EMS, I was shocked: my name was not listed on his paperwork, instead someone I never heard of.

When I asked him, he said he updated it because “mom asked to be listed.” He said he didn’t think to tell me.

I feel like I no longer exist in his life in the most fundamental way.

Is that odd, or am I making mountains out of molehills?
