My oh is lovely, a bit grumpy at times but I've seen him time and time again put me and others before himself.
However there are two occasions in our married life where he has been uncharacteristically horrible and both centred around him being unable to cope with being ill.
The first was when we lost our baby when I was in the second trimester (early). He had been great for weeks when I was pregnant, carrying shopping, not allowing me to do any lifting etc. The day after I had the miscarriage, we went shopping and had about 10 bags. He had a sore back. When we got to the house (7th floor flat at the time with a loft though) he hobbled inside after giving me the car key and said he couldn't carry anything. I was shocked but carried the bags in in two lots to find him lying on the couch.
The second time was another miscarriage, 12 hours after it happened I was lying on the couch and went to go to the toilet. I came back and oh was lying there. He said he had the flu and could I get him some paracetamol.
Both events were a combination of me being a martyr and him being thoughtless but all sense goes out the window when he's ill.
I can't be the only with an oh who is like this? (I hope)
