So. Long.
To set the scene, we're overseas. DH, me, MIL, and DS1 and DS2. One week into a 3 week trip.
I have a chronic, really painful invisible illness which is playing up with travel. Unexpectedly.
DS 1 has same thing, had major chest surgery a while ago that plays up and is your typical surly teen.

Flying is hard for me, and I was able to move our seats to a bulkhead at home for a long haul flight.
It was perfect.
Issue 1- MIL to help has contacted the travel agent to try to do the same on the way home. Big mistake. Return airline now requires multiple documents and fit to fly confirmations before they'll let me on the plan. In two days. Hugely stressful. Probably impossible- flight leaves in 10 days but airline wants docs. earlier.

Issue 2- DS 1 has been 'boy who cried wolf re himself' and a general pain on the trip but today was legitimately sick.

Issue 3- due to my illness I injured myself in a situation where DH was telling me to wait on a moving train to get past a bunch of kids. I was shattered , desperate to sit but because he was being courteous to the kids , I got hurt. Can't walk properly now. Have leg brace. And I had meltdown in loo in private. I kinda blame DH.

Main issue - today, DS 1 is sick (legit) and in pain. Ditto me re pain but I can soldier on. DS1 wants to go back to apartment. I suggest we do this and visit an area closer DH had been banging on about visiting. DH wants me to send DS1 (16) alone in a taxi back . Different language, that I speak a bit off but not DS1. I say we can't that. He then says he doesn't want to do something so boring as look after son and hang around apartment, and it was a waste of valuable holiday time. But expects me to leave DS1. I won't , so have to return to apartment.
dS1 and I offer compromise of dinner out after rest and meds, but this is also refused as limiting time DH and MIL will have without us. DH then says he is planned to go somewhere he KNEW I wanted to see but had missed as DH had wanted to go somewhere else. This pissed me off hugely, but I kept quiet.
I come back with 2 x DS - put both to bed DS 2 has headache now, pack for all of us( not DH), make dinner , clean air b'n'b, try to contact Drs in two countries , and he has come back and has the shits with me.

AIBU to want to call him out for being a selfish twunt?

How did it go later? Are things any better?

Maybe it’s best to try and keep the peace. Holidays can bring out the best and worse in people. Sorry I hope things improve.

Not sure what your going on about op. Your post is all over the place and hard to make out.
