AITA for giving my friends and family the gift of “not having to deal with my husband)

I am a medical professional .I have an amazing job that I love, great friends and family, and a lot of cool hobbies. I am also married to an chronically ill man. We were married first and he became ill later. When his diagnosis came it was of the “live in the moment variety”. <br><br>He is a great man, but he can be very difficult . He is in pain, and angry, and sometimes very mean. He is embarrassed about needing help with everything and that also makes him mean. I am his caretaker, and so I bare the brunt. He also is one of those chronically ill who doesn’t believe in medical treatment. He doesn’t take his meds, he doesn’t do suggested therapy, he doesn’t do anything he is supposed to. He thinks he knows better. He has essentially rejected his diagnosis . He goes to his Appointments, but it is to argue with his doctors. <br><br>In addition to all this, he has a fixation that I am cheating on him. He thinks that because he isn’t whole, I am disgusted by him. I am not. I am his wife, and I love him, but he refuses to believe that. He insists on following me around all day. At work, at my mothers, at the store. Where ever I go. He shows up at all hours of the day and night to accuse me of cheating. <br><br>This brings me to why I am here. Christmas is fast approaching, and my office mates, my friends and my family asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year. <br><br>I told them the truth. What I want most of all in the world is to not have to deal with him for just a couple days . If I could have the gift of him leaving me alone, or better yet, him being remanded to someone else’s care for just a day or two, it would be the best gift I have ever gotten. <br><br>Well, it seems I may actually get that. <br><br>My friends are taking him on a trip. All expenses paid. They are going to an exciting adventure in a cool place that he has always wanted to go to. They are going to take him on the holiday of his dreams, and I will have Christmas with just me. <br><br>My family are taking him to a cabin they own in the mountains, to have him for the holiday. My mother in law is going to come get him and bring him to her place to stay for two weeks. <br><br>My office mates have gotten me a Spa Gift Certificate for two days of pampering, and they are going to cover my shift at work. <br><br>It seems my Christmas gift is going to be a couple weeks of not having to deal with him, and having some cool things to do on my own. <br><br>But to my surprise he is not excited about all these cool things he is going to get to do. He is angry . He thinks this is some kind of joke. He thinks that all these people who are offering to take him on a holiday are actually all conspired up to fuck with him. He thinks I am fucking my doctor, and my friends, and my co-workers, and my brothers and my cousins, and he insists that he needs to follow me around to keep me faithful. He doesn’t want to go anywhere, and he is furious that people are offering . <br><br>So AITA?
