I've been seeing him for 4 months now.
Last Saturday night I stayed at his house (he lives about 30 mins away and I always get the train as it's quick and the station is only a few mins from his house.
Went over ordered food etc and went to bed.
Around 1am I woke up feeling sick and from 1am was vomiting every 10 mins then the stomach pains started,I was dripping in sweat and nearly passed out in the bathroom.
This continued all night and didn't sleep a wink.
It got to 10am and I said there's no way I can get on the train like this (it's a 2 carriage train and it's always full the time it gets to his station)
He said "what you gonna do then?"
I said I don't know (his car is sat on the drive here,thinking he would offer to drive me home)
He didn't so I had to get a taxi and sit in the back of the taxi with a carrier bag incase I vomited.
Luckily I didn't..it was the longest journey ever.
Aibu to think he should have drove me home?

For those saying the OP should have asked, if he needs to be asked, he's not a keeper.
He'll be the type of man who will need to be asked to babysit his child, put his laundry in the basket, etc.

Glad you've decided to get rid of him Op - he definitely isn't a keeper so best to cut your losses now.

Tink1990 · 26/01/2019 14:46

Yep, what a meanie. I can see you have made your decision about him already but it would have been my very first LTB so I am gonna say it anyways.. LTB!

Even driving you home in that state would not have been good, you needed to stay where you were until you were better, he should have been demonstrating what a kind and caring boyfriend he is. He did not. Add to that, it is you doing the running to him mostly as he does not like a small TV, enough to go next!!!!!

So you've been travelling by train every weekend just to watch a bigger tv with a complete knob? Shock

You can do better than this.

Theunreasonableone · 26/01/2019 16:00

Seriously OP what on earth are you getting out of this relationship? I hope you are feeling better Flowers

I was sick and had a dizzy turn once on a tube. Luckily 2 stops before mine. A random woman I didnt know insisted on jumping off tube walking me home. Then jumping back on the tube. As she could see how genuinely ill I was. And showed caring compassion and concern.

This was a stranger. In busy central London.

So I think the basic id exspect from a bf is a lift or at least bit of nursing amd compassion tucked up back in bed at theirs.

He’s your boyfriend, he should drive you home anyway regardless of whether you’re ill. Don’t settle for him he’s a dick.

When I was with dp for three months I had the same thing. Only he is living back with his mum and younger sibling after getting divorced. He stayed up all night with me, went to the 24hr store and got diyorolite (wrong spelling), I said I was going home as my car was there, but he wouldn’t let me drive, as I was being sick so frequently. He said he would drive me home, but prefered if I stayed there (his mum said the same too), and thankfully they have two bathrooms! So he called my exdp who was staying at my home with my dc, explained I was ill etc, exdp agreed it was best I stay there, and he would stay with my dc until I was well enough to come home.
As much as initially I wanted to go home and be unwell in my own bed/bathroom, im glad I stayed as I couldn’t move from the bathroom to get drinks, make rehydration drinks, as it turned into a full tummy bug, so vomiting and the runs. I stayed there for 3 days in the end, until I was strong enough, could keep a little plain food down, the runs had stopped, and the shakes etc had stopped. I’ve never been so unwell since a kid!
Still with him!!

Get rid.
6 months into our relationship my DP would come and get me at the airport when my plane was landing at 1AM.

DragginBallsEEEE · 26/01/2019 18:31

Yikes, too many reasons to dump him, not enough (none) to stay.

Belenus · 26/01/2019 21:01

if he needs to be asked, he's not a keeper.

I've been dating someone for a few weeks. We're not a couple as yet. We happened to be going to the same social event independently so he texted me to ask if I wanted a lift to and from. Because that's what normal, kind human beings do for each other. They think about what the other person might want or need. They don't have to be trained to do it. So no, you're right, the OP's bf is not a keeper!
