To be so pissed off at DH stealing my prescribed medication?

[borisjohnsonandthenorth]

Have sleeping tablets and DH has helped himself to them. Have tried to have a conversation about it but he won’t admit to it. I’m so fucking angry with him right now.

Why would he do this? Has he been addicted before? It’s a shorty thing to do.

Shitty not shorty

He’s been addicted for years, I’m probably kidding myself in thinking he’d ever change

YANBU. Really worrying behaviour from an addict.

That's an essential bit of info you left out.

Whatever jalopy go bully someone else

Are you sayinh recreationally or did he really need to sleep and couldnt?

If he has insomnia he needs to sort out his own prescription

Do you have the same GP? I'd suggest s/he needs to know.

We don’t in fact ... I recently changed GPs

I think your GP needs to know where the prescription is going.

It would probably gall on me. I’m so angry. I feel invaded.

Well it is kind of vital info. Stole a pill for a rare bout of insomnia yeah ok. But a well known addict doing it is different.

Woah how is jalopy bullying you? The fact your DH is an addict is a massive dripfeed if you’re asking for opinions on your response to him stealing your medication!

If he’s an addict, does he admit that? How was your medication accessible to him - could you keep it somewhere he doesn’t have access to if it’s a risk for him. Tbh you both might benefit from some actual experienced/trained support & advice above what you’ll find on MN AIBU.... but YANBU to have feelings of anger about the situation

That’s the thing cwen, I’m sick of not being able to have these things out. Fed up of lying when I go to the doctor and having to smuggle things in the house.

I do think the fact your DH is addicted to sleeping pills is fairly relevant information...

Why do you keep them in the house?

How is she bullying you?

Without that info, I would have been asking if he was struggling to sleep, or stressed or something. Maybe it was just to help him for a few nights. The only negative thing I would say is that he should have asked.

But with the addict info, those questions are irrelevant and the issue is totally different. Its about him needing help, and you maybe need to put the pills somewhere he cant get them as a short term solution.

You need to get this moved to relationships. jalopy wasn't bullying you

Where else do you suggest I put them cohle genuinely?

You’ll just have to keep them on your person as he’s can’t be trusted as he’s an addict. YANBU for being angry with him.

Personally, I'd seriously consider whether I needed to be taking the myself. If I did, I'd keep them on my person/locked up/in the car etc etc.

It sounds like you and your husband both need support.

I'd say it's a bit worrying that you are both relying on prescription meds, to be honest.

I get that you're upset OP, but the way you're speaking to people is not okay.

When I was at risk of taking overdoses of my own medication, my partner kept it for me and I didn’t know the location, just had a weeks supply max in my dose box. You could keep them on you, in a locked box and you have the key/combination, in the car, at work, etc etc etc.

It’s ok to be fed up of supporting someone with addiction issues though. But this isn’t really an AIBU thing, your husband wasn’t just being a cheeky fucker. He needs help.

I think you need to stop directing your anger at posters whose opinions and advice you asked for. You will get advice and compassion on here but not if you attacks posters. You can discuss your difference of opinion without accusations of bullying, OP.

I am absolutely fed up of it and if anyone doesn’t like that then they are extremely welcome not to post.
