DH screws up again

Had to cancel all my plans for the weekend. And why?
He has caught a tummy bug and is vomiting constantly.
I have had enough.

Of course I am being judgemental, you have posted in AIBU. This topic invites respondents to make a judgement.

BooyHoo · 17/06/2011 17:01

i know who you are mrsR, jsut because i do, doesn't mean i cant tell you when i think you're being a tit. i can do that without licking someone else's arse. it's called agreeing with them.

although i can see from your later pots that you are indeed on a mission to piss off as many individual posters as possible. who is taking the bets for it? how many have they guessed you'll offend before being found out?

dreamingbohemian · 17/06/2011 17:06

He should buck up and go. It's the weekend, he'll hardly be the only one puking his guts out in the West End.

mrsruffallo · 17/06/2011 17:15

FGS
I am off, don't worry, no bets taken, just defending myself

I started off wondering what the deal was with this thread. By the end of page three it's fairly clear it must be one of two things:

  • mrsruffalo is being provocative and in a fighty mood;
  • mrsruffalo is nucking futs.

I'll spread my bets and go for a little bit of both.

Omigawd · 17/06/2011 17:29

The OP is absolutely correct, this is Emo Abuse and can only be solved by leaving that bastard of a DH immediately and taking the guy shes been flirting with all month on Facebook with her.

Alternatively the OP is batshit crazy, a controlling EA dragon, and DH should leave her immediately.

Or both.

Also, feeding trolls can make you ill........

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 17/06/2011 17:51

I understand you are disappointed. I would be too.

But are you actually cross with him for being ill, as though it is something he has chosen to do to you?

It's just bad luck. It's not his fault and he hasn't screwed up. He hasn't become sick at you on purpose in order to ruin your weekend.

By all means be disappointed that the two of you have to cancel your plans. But he's ill. He has no control over that yet you seem to be blaming him for it and are cross with him. That's very unreasonable and illogical. Can't you see that?

Bizaar!

duffybeatmetoit · 17/06/2011 20:28

pomme and writer - snap - my DH is the same.

ohmyfucksy · 17/06/2011 20:34

You weird woman.

SarahBumBarer · 17/06/2011 20:41

Ha ha - despite the wording of your OP you actually had the sympathy or at least understanding of a few of us (who acknowledge that we don't do illness ver well) but I thought this was one of those aibu's where you kinda knew you were but wanted to vent. Whereas actually YAjustBU.

thisisyesterday · 17/06/2011 20:42

so... he is missing out on his own birthday present, because he is ill.... and you're cross with him?

yabvvvvvvvvu!

DialsMavis · 17/06/2011 20:51

Fuck, I may show this to DP. He thinks I am a complete cunt sometimes, maybe this thread will show him how much worse it could all be...

mrsruffallo · 17/06/2011 20:53

No, Sarah- you've got it right.
This was meant in the spirit of self parody.
I have calmed down now.
Sorry if I upset anyone

fit2drop · 17/06/2011 20:57

ok so lets get this right, OP is pissed off with DH who has sabotaged his own birthday by getting the trots and now they cannot use the tickets that sil gave him as a present..
so you go , on your own or with a friend, hubby wont care ,he is sick and probably does not need a selfish witch around him who is only thinking of her needs .

Such a shame he didnt treat OP so appallingly when she had the bug,
If he hadnt had taken time off work and spent time looking after her he just might not have got the bug off her .

cobbsie · 17/06/2011 20:59

why cancel?
If he's got a stomach bug and can look after himself while ill then go on your own. If its an event with tickets see if u can get a friend to go if you need company
leave him with lotsa lemsips/water/fruit or whatever and give him a kiss and float off and catch up with him when you get back!

SarahBumBarer · 17/06/2011 21:06

Oh well then - totally sympathise. My DH has made falling ill at the worst possible time an absolute art! He even pisses himself off. Annoyingly he's fab when I'm sick but my first reaction is still to want to make him even sicker when he does it Grin

perfumedlife · 17/06/2011 21:07

Is this a severe case of toomuchmumsnetrotsthebrain or perhpas a dose of getafuckinggriponreality?

perfumedlife · 17/06/2011 21:07

perhaps even Blush

SarahBumBarer · 17/06/2011 21:07

If anyone from the nhs is reading I am thinking of a career change...

WannabeaShootingStar · 17/06/2011 21:11

I can't stand sick people, OH can't stand sick people, our plans wait for nothing that's why it works.... How long does a bug last? I remember going to work with one and 'holding' on from running to the loo whilst discussing something with a senior bod and being fine three hours later when my shift ended.
PMA....

LoveMyOscar · 17/06/2011 22:00

I think the OP is a freaking nutter! Poor DH. I'd get a bloody divorce from the fruit loop if I were him so at least he can be poorly in peace!

FabbyChic · 17/06/2011 22:03

You gave it to him to start with you unsympathetic bitch. Stop being so fucking mean and look after him.
