To think he’s a pretty shit ‘D’P? Or am I being a princess?

Sitting on the sofa opposite DP who is on the chair. We have the tv on in the background, DP is about to start some work in preparation for tomorrow.

I am on my period and in pain which DP knows. I was cold and asked him if he would pass me a blanket from the other sofa. He was irritated and asked me if I could get it myself and I said I didn’t want to move as I was in pain. He then made some sort of exhale and carried on with his work.

Thoughts? Am I being a princess to be annoyed about this?

I'd be pissed off if I was in pain and my partner basically ignored me, yes. I'd get up from my work to help if he was in pain.

How much pain are you in? I spent years on the pill due to horrendous periods and painkillers don't touch it.

but if you're in that much pain you need to disturb someone's work, it's time to see a doctor about it.

if you don't need to disturb a working person, then don't. I live alone. Just have to crack on. I realise you don't live alone but if someone is working, I'd consider them not available unless there's an emergency.

You've got period pains not Ebola. For goodness sake!

I would find that annoying if I was about to start work and I was asked by my partner to pass him something. It’s hard enough anyway to find the motivation to log on.

So unless he is usually unkind to you when you are in pain then I would say that he has passed you it but it’s fair enough that he was a bit annoyed. I wouldn’t have asked in that situation. Just my opinion though and I’m sure other people will be along to say the opposite.

Princess. How bloody long would it have taken to grab the blanket THAT YOU WANTED yourself.

Princess. Sorry but work comes first..

Yes.

It depends. Would he have had to untangle himself from cables and work stuff to get up to get you the blanket?
