Alone on holiday

Feeling more upset about this than I usually do, so wondering if I’m overreacting. Please be kind.
On holiday with a group of friends (couples). Two of us overslept and missed dinner. Other hungry friend has food brought by DP. When I say I’m hungry later (10:30ish) DH says I’ll be fine to go and fetch something on my own. Only a 5/10 minute walk, but in a foreign country and late. I can’t explain how hurt I was by this and I can’t get over the lack of care or consideration. I also suspect he didn’t want to leave the bar.
He does have form for being selfish so I don’t know if this is worse or just the final straw.

It wouldn’t occur to me to want DH to go and get me food when it’s a 5 minute walk away. I would ask him to get the drinks in while I picked up something to eat.

I’d be more pissed off with the friend who could have picked up enough for two!

Missing the point here but you overslept all day until dinner time?

Thought this too 😕 🫤

Maybe try Uber Eats? that's in many cities in the world.

Have you told your DH how you feel? It's the sort of thing, I think, that some men might not immediately understand but then when they have a wife telling them to step up they might change their mind and do the gentlemanly thing.

I would be upset, too, and think it showed how little he thought of me. It's even harder when you are with couples who are considerate.

In which other ways is he selfish?

Were you looking for a snack in downtown Mogadishu?

If it’s a safe town full of tourists it’ll be fine
