DH is refusing to buy me medicine

[bloodyperiod1]

DH (as in dickhead right now) is at a mates house 10 mins away, and has refused to buy me paracetamol for my cramps, my period is due next week and I always get these awful cramps before my period. It hurts, I can’t sleep. Kids in bed, corner shop down the road from me and he says I should wait til he gets home, and he doesn’t know when he’s leaving. Shop is closing 11pm. He’s got a car and it will literally take him 2mins to come here. AIBU to think he’s being inconsiderate?

Selfish. Very selfish.

YANBU. He is a dick

Absolute selfish tosser.

My DH just drove a few miles to the nearest open shoo to ge some crisps and dip for me before we settled down for a movie. I thought I'd bought some but hadn't and was disappointed. I didn't even have to ask.

Completely inconsiderate.

He is yes.

If the person who is meant to love you the most won’t inconvenience himself for 5 mins to relieve your pain, is he worth it?

Your DH is being a knob.
I used to get cramps so bad that I literally texted my DP: do not come home without painkillers.
YANBU, he should buy the paracetamol.

Paracetamol is the worst pain killer for period pain so on that front yabu. But yanbu for expecting him to be nice.

Are you expecting him to leave his mates early to get you painkillers? If you are then that is a little unreasonable. I wouldn't so that for my DH and wouldn't expect him to do that for me.

If you know you get these awful cramps every month then maybe should be more organised??

That's awful and selfish. Also Ibuprofen is better against period pain if you can take it (some people can't) as it is an antispasmodic.

You should have been more prepared.

@jomaIone
You wouldn't leave a friend's house a couple minutes early to grab something from the shop for your partner?

YANBU. If pain is that bad, I would ring local taxi company to pick you some up and drop them.off. They probably will do this and charge a small fee. DH is paying btw.

Would some of you really, if your partner was in pain and unable to get to the shop themselves, say your should have been more organised’ ?! 😱
And leave them to a sleepless night of pain?

Your partners are lucky to have you 🙄

Where does it say it mean leaving only a couple of minutes early? He said he doesn’t know when he’s leaving.

Jomalone Oh do shut up-would it kill you to show her a little compassion?

Hang on....
Your period is due next week?

So.... do you have cramps not, or are you expecting to get cramps next week?

He is very unreasonable. Mind you if I asked my DH to buy me some paracetamol he’d come back with Kung po sauce, so I try to be self sufficient when it comes to shopping. Have you got a hot water bottle or anything else that might help? Is there a neighbour you could ask for painkillers? Is there any calpol knocking about?

You poor thing. No help now and not trying to rub it in but I pick up a box of paracetamol every other shop so we’re always drowning in it. Mefanamic acid is the single best period pain painkiller, get it prescribed, it makes life worth living again. Ibuprofen is good too.

Your husband is a selfish arsehole. You deserve better.

Why don’t you keep a supply at home knowing it’s going to happen?

@CherryPavlova. Perhaps not everyone is as organised as you?

Do you have pain now? Or expecting it next week? If the latter YABU.

I also think you need to keep medication at home and be more organised..your period is no a suprise.

I had a situation with DD..not getting her prescription on time for MA for her period pains, then....trying to make it my problem.

Organisation is the key...This comes to mind
Lack of planning on your part, doesn't constitute an emergency on my part.

Perhaps but it doesn’t take a genius to maintain a supply of basic essentials like paracetamol, does it? You can hardly expect someone to drop everything for something you knew was going to be needed and slate them if they don’t.

Get some Feminax Ultra if your cramps are bad & every time you pass a pharmacy, get another pack so you have a reasonably good stash then replace what you use each month.

But it's Wednesday evening. Your period is due next week. Not tonight. Or tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the day after that. Or the day after that. You have lots of chances to buy paracetamol. Not seeing the problem??

Have you got a hot water bottle you could use to help with the cramps before you can buy some paracetamol.

Can’t you just to to the corner shop ?
