11+4 and having cravings - husband says to go out on bike to get snacks

Hi,

So we live in a village that is not really within walking distance to shops. There is a service station that I could cycle to but I don't cycle that often and don't feel confident being near the motorway. I was feeling nauseous and didn't have nay snacks or food in the house that I wanted to eat due to nausea and aversions. We both WFH and I don't drive.

So anyway, I told DH that I wanted a snack and before I could finish what I was saying and explain that it can wait till he finishes work, he said I should cycle to the motorway service station. I'm working so can't really take the time - but he said it would take 10 mins max.

Am I unreasonable for feeling a little put out by this?

Edit: Just to add, I wasn't expecting my DH to go during the day, I would have waited until he had time to drive

You're not being unreasonable but I don't think he is either.

Is this really a sustainable living situation though if you can't drive? Are you going to be housebound all day with the baby when he's working?

I'd already had nothing but marmite sandwiches all day and felt that was all I could eat. The thought of anything else we had in, made my nausea worse but I was also really ravenous!

Is there nothing you can eat at all? Toast, fruit, anything?

Cycling is absolutely fine but presumably he's not suggesting you cycle on the motorway which is illegal !
If the roads are busy or difficult to cycle then I understand reluctance however
