Or should DP have been in touch today?

I had a hospital appointment today. Something that I was mildly concerned about but deep down knew would probably be fine.

A few friends got in touch to say they hope it goes well this morning. DP didn't get in contact and he hasn't been in contact since. He's not the chattiest ordinarily but I would think with something like this a quick text to ask how it went would be nice?

I mentioned the appointment last night so I don't think he would have forgotten.

Also worth mentioning is that he previously had a similar health condition to what I was concerned about, so maybe it's a case of him burying his head in the sand?

AIBU to expect a simple text to ask if I'm ok?

YANBU! I can’t think of any realistic scenario where you wouldn’t check in with a loved one following a medical appointment that you knew they were worried about. I hope you are ok.

Presumably he's waiting for you to tell him how it went.

Well I'd say the opposite actually. I'd expect you to send me a text (or actually ring for a chat) to tell me about it.

My DH had an appointment this morning which I couldn't attend with him - I expected him to contact me to tell me how it went (which he did, apparently they took 7 pints of blood for tests )

Oh that's interesting.

To be honest, I'm hoping IABU here. I've perceived his lack of contact as uncaring, which isn't him at all the rest of the time. Crap at text, yes. But uncaring, no.

Interestingly, after I started this post he sent me a text saying "So..."

Maybe he was assuming I would be the one to text and didn't want to worry me or make me feel like he was pestering for an update.

And thank you Josella. Everything was fine thankfully.

I'd have just dropped a text to let him know how it went. 🤷🏼‍♀️
He probably didn't want to bother you during / soon after the appointment.

@cricketballs3 7 pints you must get him a sticker for being such a brave boy
