Picture this: you’re in a car crash with your boyfriend and your three dogs. The other vehicle has a baby on board. You’re a pediatric nurse, so your instincts kick in.

Our heroine is now facing backlash from her boyfriend and his parents for her actions. Let’s dive into this tale of drama, conflict, and moral ambiguity.

“Unpopular opinion – for the question itself NAH. He could have been dazed and confused – like he didn’t even notice that he had a broken wrist? So in retrospect it might have hurt him a bit that – in his mind – she dealed with him only in the span of a ‘you ok mate’. She was definitely not in the wrong either to check on the dogs and the baby, who can’t even say as much if they are hurt, plus the number of people/animals and their age, the type and extenct of affection by the accident is a must to know for the police and the parademics. He is the TA for later still holding it against her, but let’s be honest, many, many people (even if they don’t want to admit to themselves) hope that if anything happens, no matter what, they will come first for their partners. It’s just the selfishness of survival instinct, completely biological. They should probably talk it out with someone more qualified than reddit.” – NTA
