Dh didn’t leave me any water or drinks

Maybe living alone you have no concept of what is suppose to happen when you are in a partnership and actually supposedly ‘love and care for one another’?She wasn’t alone and her AIBU was not about coping by herself. A spouse or partner you have chosen you to live with surely means that taking care of one another is all part and parcel of that. Making sure someone is okay before you leave, especially someone who has been extremely unwell all night is quite normal in a loving relationship. Sorry you haven’t experienced it.

Well you can't have been that ill if you can get up. There are plenty of illnesses that leave you bedridden. You've obviously never experienced that.

Well if you hadn't come along and explained it AGAIN, goodness knows what we would have done. We would never have known what was going on in OPs thread.

Thank you so much Lieutenant Obvious.

Living on your own for so long has obviously meant that you have either forgotten or neglected to learn basic human empathy and kindness. You're supposed to look after eachother when you're in a relationship, it's not a 'feeble woman' situation.

This is WAYYYY more weird. What if someone wants to use the bathroom. I'm team op on this one, having a bucket or sick bin by the bed/sofa is 100% normal. Only on Mumsnet is it seen as heathen behaviour

Hope you're feeling a bit better OP.

There's no gold stars for powering through illness as if it isn't there, there's an odd attitude on this thread. People can be sick and people can also be so unwell they don't feel like they can do anything. The blaming of the OP on this thread for not seeing into the future and buying 150 gallons of water just in case is ridiculous and as for the poster that is sleeping on towels cozying up to the toilet bowl ffs, we're not all martyrs.

Even if I lived with a partner I wouldn’t expect it! Perhaps having never lived with anybody I’m set in my ways and have no expectations of anyone.

Doing that in some countries will give you a lovely dose of Giardiasis.

The OP did sort herself out when she had to - that isn't the point of the thread.

She was asking whether it was reasonable to be annoyed that her husband didn't think to check she had water when she'd been so ill. Whether someone else has had to cope on their own is irrelevant. She isn't on her own; she's married, and it's reasonable to expect your spouse to look out for you, especially when you're unwell.

if and when I’m ill DH would definitely make sure i have something by the bed to vomit into, so that it’s not too gross if I can’t make it to the bathroom in time.
Basic spousal care, surely?

How ridiculous that my post got deleted! The point I’m making is, if you live alone you have to do it! I’ve been very unwell at times, but I don’t have anyone to come and make me drinks, wipe my arse, mop my brow etc. When did some women get so feeble that they can’t sort themselves out! Even in relationships I certainly wouldn’t expect someone to come and nurse me.

People are so weird.
Why are some so confused about a sick bucket?

I for one cant hold my vomit. I can go from feeling just nausea to vomiting so if i didnt have a bucket i would vomit all over the frontroom carpet, all up the stairs carpet and the landing.

If you have never lifted ur head, vomited in a bucket then felt so ill u had to lay your head back down, leaving the sick in the bucket, then count yourself lucky, because its awful...

IF i can make it upstairs then i will try, i will walk with the bucket under my chin, but often its a sudden thing
Baffled by people that can hold there vomit till they get to the toilet althoigh i am envious of them

Ensure you return the favour when he’s next ill.

There are some places in the world where even boiling tap water doesn't make it safe. I know this from horrific personal experience.

Reminds me of my now exdh going back to work (no paternity leave) after I had dd1 (c section). We lived in a block of flats with stairs after the lift and at the time didn't have a pushchair (dm was bringing one from the UK a couple of weeks later). I had been in hospital for 5 days. My sister in law was meant to be staying with me but had her period and couldn't manage it. Anyway there was no food in the flat at all, we had no telephone and I didn't speak the language well. Still remember how hungry I was when he finally came home. Slightly in his defence he was expecting sister in law to come.

Poor love, hope pain dissipates soon.

No idea why the fuss over a bucket. I've had to vomit into cups before when an infection came on suddenly.

How did he know she was up all night and drank all the water? He was sleeping in a different room.

You find it difficult to understand OP has been too ill to do it and her useless husband hasn't stepped up? Why?

Good grief there are some complete hard bitches posting today.
OP, I hope you feel better soon.

Clearly you've never had a vomiting bug so severe you can't get to the toilet in time.

Feel better soon OP.

This is all irrelevant. When your partner is sick you help make them comfortable..clean bedroom/ bathroom and supplies ...its the lowest bar EVER

Look up emetophobia

You poor thing. But in general as adults in a country where bottled water is essential it's your duty as much as it is his to keep some in the house?

I hope you can get a delivery service. Can you not do an online shop to make sure there is never a shortage?

And tell husband it was horrible as he knew how sick you were so should've been more caring.

But no drinkable liquid in the building sounds like something no adult should let happen as a general rule.
