To have expected a little bit of help?

[IvysEdgelessSafetycube]

I am ill. really. Laryngitis, conjunctivitis, strep throat, and a persistent cough that hurts and is making me vomit.
I got back from the GP with a bunch of prescriptions, the most important for me at the moment being the cough suppressant, which has one of those child proof tops. I couldn't open it, no matter how hard I tried. I politely asked DH for help, and he told me no. That I should stop forcing myself to cough, trying to get sympathy from him and that my body will sort itself out.
I am just a bit fucking furious angry.
I swigged some Covonia from the bottle instead, but I really need that bottle open.
I feel like crap and I can't understand why he is being so arsey about this. It's not like I am making it up, and I don't want any fucking sympathy, I just want that bottle opened so I can feel better.

well, I CBA to cook dinner, DCs are in bed already and I am not hungry.
I am going to run myself a bath, cough my tonsils out and cry at the injustice of it all.

AIBU?

When he falls asleep tonight breath on him as much as possible and lick him a little bit, what an arse biscuit.

Get well soon xxx

I have read some nasty behaviour on here before, but a man refusing to help his sick wife open her medicine has to be one of the lowest yet.

:(

I honestly would be reconsidering if I wanted to spend any longer with someone who could be so fucking cruel.

And as Booy says, what if you had a life threatening illness, would he sit there and watch you suffer then too?

Just in case you need anyone else to say it, he's a nasty twat. Is he reading this? You implied he might have been. If so, I hope he's got the message that he's a twat.

Hope you start to feel better soon op x and I hope he gets a double dose.

being nasty to someone who is ill and vulnerable sounds like a nasty, bullying predatory thing to do.
You must be feeling really rough, I hope you're on the mend ASAP

Please show your DP this thread, what a twat!

Do you know, this is so far outside the realms of possibility for our relationship I don't even know what to say.

Your husband who claims to love you, wouldn't open a medicine bottle for you?

I just can't get my head around that, it is just so bizarre.

sadly, i dont think a man who would sit and watch his wife suffer in pain would take any notice of what was said on this thread. he clearly is beyond reason. i do think it is abusive behaviour to do what he has done. sorry. i know people dont like the 'leave him' shouts but i would feel very scared by someone i was sharing my life and hime with treating me like this.

Your H is a twat, a wanker, a cunt, an arse, a twunt, a prick, a dick and a nasty piece of work.

That sentence isn't a pick one to describe him btw, he's all of those things.

My sympathies to you OP for having the misfortune to be married to this "insert choice of word, because I can't think of one bad enough here."
