To think dh is being cruel

Decormad38 · 19/02/2019 11:19

Im laid flat out back in spasm. I’ve asked dh if he will go to shop and get me some strong pain killers. He has done everything else including walking the dog and tidied boxes in bedroom but still not gone.
Im getting a bit frustrated and upset. AIBU?

I vote "Remember this day and next time he's in pain go out for a meal with friends while he's waiting for his painkillers."

I vote that that's a terrible idea and creating drama for no reason.

Call him and tell him to bring back the painkillers NOW. No bloody hair cuts! Has he actually ever been in pain??
Keep icing in the meantime

I think he sounds sinister. Who the hells does that? Get your dd to fetch you the phone and call a friend or relative to come and help. Name and shame him, the bastard.

RomanyQueen1 · 19/02/2019 12:21

Aw, that's horrible, only selfish cunts would do a thing like that.
What's with these awful men posts today.
Mine would do anything to help if I was poorly and likewise so would I, isn't that what a loving relationship is about?

lmusic87 · 19/02/2019 12:25

So mean, he should be looking after you

Juells · 19/02/2019 12:53

This is into 'deliberate' territory IMO.

Fairenuff · 19/02/2019 12:57

This is like the first episode of Dirty John. Chilling.

SexNotJenga · 19/02/2019 13:02

I haven't seen Dirty John. (is it good?)

OP, is your dp often an absolutely evil, spiteful, selfish bastard? If my dh behaved like this I would be seriously questioning the entire relationship, tbh.

Deliberately withholding medication is a form of abuse.

@Decormad38

Any sign of those painkillers?

FizzyGreenWater · 19/02/2019 13:44

Wonder if he'd like it if you broadcast his nastiness a bit.

Perhaps time for a couple of texts/calls to friends/family who might be able to help, explaining that of course you've asked DH - a couple of times now - but he really doesn't look as if he's going to help you out and you're getting desperate.

Plus, you need the pills so please call someone who will act like a reasonable human being and get you some!

No way is this anything but downright nasty. I'd be at the shop asap if a loved one was in pain.

Juells · 19/02/2019 13:52

Yeah, text everyone. He's being an absolute shit.

Eliza9917 · 19/02/2019 14:08

BlahXXBlah your dh or your cat?

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 19/02/2019 14:09

Has he got your painkillers yet?

Fairenuff · 19/02/2019 14:10

I've only watched the first episode so far but maybe OP should watch it when she's better. It might open your eyes to how abusive this is.

Decormad38 · 19/02/2019 14:25

Yes he came back with the painkillers eventually. He’s been fine since but all very odd. I’m in too much pain to discuss it all with him though.

Take care of yourself and rest. Sort oddballs out when you’re feeling better.
