So I was upstairs with dc supervising bedtime for dc. Suddenly I felt the urge to vomit and was physically sick. Kids just carried on as normal but obviously I wouldn't necessarily expect sympathy from primary aged dc.
However, I went doenstairs to get water and told dh and his response was um!
No sympathy.
Aibu to be pissed off with him.

I wouldn't get anything other than 'eeeew - why are you telling me?

And then he'd spend the day trying to avoid me in case I was contagious. Grin

Yabu.

bundaberg · 07/11/2013 13:55

yanbu!

Objection · 07/11/2013 13:56

How would you have liked him to react exactly?

YABU

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 07/11/2013 13:58

You just vomitted! Its really not a big deal. Do you have a bug? Are you pregnant?

Vicki1972 · 07/11/2013 13:58

May I be the first to say both LTB and POAS?

Beeyump · 07/11/2013 14:04

Yanbu! But then, I probably make too big a deal of being sick. It's just so awful, though.

Rosencrantz · 07/11/2013 14:05

Yabu. You're obviously not dead. What did you want, flowers because you vommed?

Beeyump · 07/11/2013 14:07

Thanks Grin

thehorridestmumintheworld · 07/11/2013 14:09

I know its not like you wanted a huge fuss but how much does it cost to say "oh dear, hope you aren't feeling too bad why not have a little rest while I watch the kids .

MrsBungleScare · 07/11/2013 14:12

I think yabu to be pisaed off. Mildly perturbed maybe!

PukingCat · 07/11/2013 14:14

What, he wasn't even interested? That's weird. My dh would definitely give me sympathy and start panicking that he was going to catch it if i suddenly vomited!

IcouldstillbeJoseph · 07/11/2013 14:15

Yanbu! I would want a lie down and sympathy in bucket loads! I HATE being sick and it is a full on disaster if I feel in the slightest bit queasy

BrianTheMole · 07/11/2013 14:16

Crikey, is it really too much for him to say something sympathetic to you? Of course YANBU.

VanitasVanitatum · 07/11/2013 14:16

Would definitely get lots of sympathy! How would you have reacted in his situation?

DidoTheDodo · 07/11/2013 14:17

This has conjured up all sorts of very strange pictures in my head of you throwing up all over the kids and no-one noticing...
Are you, in fact, a ghost?

BitsinTatters · 07/11/2013 14:18

YANBU

popmusic84 · 07/11/2013 14:18

Barely looked away from tv. I have digestive issues so get problems with bile. Think that caused vomiting. Sorry tmi

Yanbu. I don't understand some of the more harsh yabu responses. You don't have to be dying for someone to show they care.

We always ask if the other is ok, if there's anything we can do etc. I don't understand why you wouldn't opt for a bit of care & compassion in your relationship.

Crowler · 07/11/2013 14:19

YANBU!!!

I'd be extremely pissed off. I would expect something like "you poor thing why don't you get on the couch and I'll bring you some water."

DameDeepRedBetty · 07/11/2013 14:19

I'd certainly expect a bit of sympathy! And would also consider POAS ... being sick for no apparent reason isn't something that happens to me.

popmusic84 · 07/11/2013 14:20

Just bit of interest.

DameDeepRedBetty · 07/11/2013 14:20

xposted with your update. Scrub the POAS bit Grin

CoffeeTea103 · 07/11/2013 14:21

Sounds like this happens often with the digestive issues so I can see why your DH had no reaction.

popmusic84 · 07/11/2013 14:23

It has probably happend maybe 3 times so not too frequently.
