AIBU to be cross with DH for going away?

[gondolo]

I am 38+4, so really it's any time now...
My husbands has gone to see his parents and friends a full FOUR hours drive away, where he knows he only has limited mobile phone signal.
Never mind that he might miss the birth of his child, but he's left me to do all of the housework and walk the dog etc which to be honest is a bit too strenuous at the moment!
Am I justified in being a bit disappointed?
Opinions from the panel welcome!
Thanks xx

I did loads of housework at this time . I got the nesting instinct, which was really great because I didn't need to do too much afterwards. Of course if you don't feel up to it then don't do it.
OP have you had any signs that labour is imminent? I would try not to worry too much as 1st time labour can often take a long time to get established.

What exactly does he 'do' for you.

So far it's all been about him and his feelings.
What about you and being supportive of the woman about to give give birth to his child?

You really need to sit him down to explain to him what exactly you expect from him as a partner/birth support and everything else.

If you think you can't well what is this relationship that you can't do that and feel supported at the most vulnerable time of your life?

i'm really hoping you have some friends or family who can help and support you in your husband's place. and breastfeeding support lined up for when you get home after the hospital.
i would be more than a bit disappointed, i'd be telling him to stay at his parents if that's where his priorities are.
