Fell over

Was out with DH for a meal. As we were leaving I slipped on a patch of mud and fell to the ground and DH didn’t even get out of car to help me ( I went over to a part of the parking area to take in the lovely view as it was in the countryside) I wasn’t seriously hurt but upset he didn’t come to me my aid then he got mad at me ( shouting at me for being upset) - that hurt more than the fall.

What an arsehole. Poor you OP, I could maybe understand if he didn't realise you'd fallen until you'd already gotten back up, but shouting at you for being upset afterwards is just straight up dickhead behaviour whatever way you slice it. Does he have form for being an uncaring twit or was this a one off occasion of douchebaggery?

@JudgeBread Yes I was hurt and upset ( and angry tbh) that he didn’t come to my aid - Dh just started small talk in the car and I was just silent and then he just went off on one yelling at me for being upset that he didn’t come over and it was my fault cos I had a few beers ( yes I did- lite beer / v pow alcohol and was not plastered- which was another things he was accusing me of)
Reason I slipped was no grip on v old slip on shoes and it was a patch of grey slippy mud

@JudgeBread unfortunately not a one off occasion. been married almost 25 years
blames work for all his stress/ not nice behaviour but I’m over it tbh-

What an arsehole he is. I bet he thinks you will be there to bring his pipe and slippers when he is old and feeble, though. If he can't offer the help that a total stranger would, what use is he?

Yes and not the first time. I just do not get it. Don’t understand how anyone’s first instinct to go over to the person. Not the first time unfortunately. Not a hugely empathetic person when come to me. No apologies either. The worst one was when I was in hospital and he was away on work travel and the first thing he said was “
im busy” - that was over a decade ago- I was staying home during the work week with our toddler whileDH was working away for years and years ( plus I went back to work when DS started school- part time)
