To ask my partner to walk me to the bus stop?

The OP doesn't have dypraxia though.

Take some salt and scatter it ahead as you go.

In the context, YANBU and he's being mean.

Why does everyone think it's so weird? I have Dyspraxia and the only two real things I can't do/struggle with is walk on ice and drive.
If its icy and I need to go out, my DH drives me or will walk with me to the bus stop so I'm safe. Its not me being a trad wife or setting feminism back 3000 years, it's a precaution we take so I don't injure myself, which I did yesterday walking on the ice as DH was working and now I have a bruised coccyx for my trouble.

Why did he kick off? I mean it's a bit daft to ask him to walk you round because if you fall so will he, but why the tantrum? Is he a man-toddler? A simple, 'don't be silly, you'll be fine' would be sufficient from any adult human being.
And what has it being his only day off got to do with it, anyway?

Yaxtrax or small crampons that fit over your shoes/boots have been available for years. They're great in ice.

I think OP is unreasonable to expect BF to walk her a short distance.

This thread made me reminiscence of my misspent youth on the icy, snowy cobbles of the European North - in my high heels of course (thus was the boot fashion of the day). Elegant like a gazelle, agile like a mountain goat I was. Despite heels being the only acceptable option, there weren't women rolling about in the snowdrift on their backs.
Maybe alcohol helped on a night out...so you could try that OP 😁

No matter what you do, don't cramp your style by wellies or socks over shoes.
MOST importantly - don't stop and don't sleep!!

I do have good Sorel boots for icy weather, but feel even more confident if I wear Yaktrax too. They are a rubber/metal 'gripper' you can fit to any shoe or boot that grip the ice. Not good inside shops with tiled floors!

I hope you got to the shops OK and found something suitable for icy weather.

😂😂😂

I don't think you are being unreasonable for asking, it's not something I would ask my husband to do, it just wouldn't occur to me

It's sad how MN has been infiltrated by incels. 😔

Organising one's thoughts, checking they aren't missing some important point, finding what are the important parts before talking to the other half.

It's quite common that someone feels upset, but needs to sort through it to find what the actual issue is.

Often the pile on is an absolute nonsense, and shouldn't be taken too much to one's hearth.

Of course you weren’t being unreasonable to ask! Your husband is no gent, that’s for sure.

In those wonderful early days of a relationship he wouldn’t have heard of you walking alone to the bus stop.
He would have happily walked with you to the ends of the earth.
😉😁😁.

This!!

Not everyone can afford cabs

I think that's lovely.

Get a cab… Which I would be doing regardless of footwear.

Then don’t go out.

This is ridiculous.

A total myth from the type of ickle pwincess who’s afraid of breaking a nail while opening a door.

The ‘thank god chivalry is dead’ folks are always the first to blow a gasket when a man suggests they should split the bill on a date.

This. Your husband couldn’t have cared less if you fell again if it means having to put himself out for an entire minute to ensure your safety when he has suitable shoes. Not without you getting upset about it or presumably having to talk to him about it multiple times. This was the man you made vows to and vice versa, what an absolute dick of a man.

Ignore all of the misogynistic melodrama of other posters. Of course you’re not a dainty doll 🙄 and you don’t need a man to walk a one minute journey on a normal basis. People on here competitively behave in a purposefully obtuse and unpleasant manner rather than be sensible and helpful then frame it as “just a differing opinion”. 🙄 That however is just speaking more of their character than it ever will of yours.

This has turned into something entirely different than what the OP meant .

Regardless of the whole “ what about him getting back “ , “ women don’t need men “, “ why are you going out “ etc etc … it’s taking it away from the point of the post that OP meant.

She feels nervous about something and asked her partner for support and he said no .

If he had said “ I understand you’re nervous , but so am I about walking back “ that would be different . But really a walk to the bus stop to help your partner isn’t a big ask . Even if you thought it was silly , even if you didn’t really want to go out in the cold - she isn’t asking him to come out all day with her , just walk her to the bus stop .

Yep

TBH I find most people offer help whether male or female
I've helped a colleague who is unsteady on her feet because she asked. I've also been picked up for work when the snow was bad because a colleague has a 4x4 with winter tyres
If it's icy on the work carpark then a colleague will come out with grit/salt

I wouldn't even need to ask half the time, if I said I was worried about walking somewhere then people would offer help and I'm not even in a relationship with them! Bare minimum

I'm kind of assuming OP asked her partner because he has grippy shoes and isn't likely to fall, whereas she doesn't have grippy shoes (which she's trying to sort) and is likely to fall.

That's the point of the trip...
