Dh didn’t leave me any water or drinks

I was really ill yesterday and especially last night, lots of vomiting etc (sorry tmi)
We live abroad and it’s extremely hot, we don’t drink the tap water here.
The bedroom was a real mess this morning-sick bucket full, duvet yucky, he quietly said my name to wake me up and that he was going to work.
I feel horrendous, so weak and there’s zero water and drinks. I’m trying to set up
a delivery service to see if they can deliver
Does anyone think this is a bit shitty to leave me with no drinks. Feel so dehydrated

My DP can be a bit thoughtless at times but even he would have emptied the bucket, changed the bed and made sure I was set before he left. Sorry op, you deserve better. I hope you feel okay asap.

Do you have any water you can drink? WHO recommends 8 level tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt per litre of water to make your own hydration solution.

And, yeah, my dh wouldn’t leave me quite the way yours did.

Guess you have never been that bad then. Have some pity

There are no drinks at all in the entire house?

Sorry you are feeling so ill OP.
It's not just the not leaving you no drinks : it's the leaving you so ill without making any attempt to make you more comfortable before he left for work that comes over as totally uncaring.

This is where the "In sickness and in health " part of the marriage vows should come into play .

Definitely NBU!
I had this once when I was confined to the sofa unable to move. DH didn’t even think to leave me food and water so, in agonising pain, I had to crawl to the kitchen.
his response when he came home ten hours later? ‘But you didn’t ask for anything’.
didn’t matter that he left at five in the morning and I’d finally got to sleep.
he said I looked so peaceful he didn’t want to wake me!!
idiot!!
Hope you get delivery sorted

Surely if you can get up for a delivery you can boil a kettle and cool the water?

If you are in Europe the tap water is safe.
