I've got a knee brace on as I've ripped a lot of tendons and fractured my tenure. I've also just upped my antidepressants, so now I take 200 of venlafaxine and 15mg of mirtazapine. Plus zopiclone for as and when.

I'm beyond Exhausted and in pain. I'm absolutely do ironing sat down but mega cleaning is out of the question because I have to use crutches.

Anyway DH has gone out for a long run for marathon training and the house is a total tip.
I've done the ironing that needed doing but I can't put the iron or board away. I feel like DH is going to have a go at me when he comes back for not having cleaned the house. Also I'm so exhausted today. I slept 13
Hours and I could sleep again right now.

Aibu to just go to fucking sleep and tell him to fuck off? He thinks if I sleep during the day it's a total waste of the day

You are being a bit unreasonable , but so is he if he comes back from a day out expecting you to have done all the house work.

Rather than just telling him to fuck off, would it not be more productive for the two of you to have some kind of conversation?

If he has a go at you when you're in so much pain then tell him to do one!

You need to rest in order to heal. There's no way my DP would expect me to do any cleaning if I was as injured as you are!

Get some sleep if you're tired. You're meant to be a team, that means he should step up when you're struggling.

Hope you're on the mend soon OP. Thanks

Yes - just rest it otherwise you will make it worse. Surely he can see that you are in pain and literally can't do stuff? Stand (!!) your ground and look after YOU.

Thanks I just can't be fucked today

Why is the cleaning only your responsibility, particularly when you're injured but also just in general? Why can't he clean the house when he gets home from having fun while you did the ironing task?

Time to have a convo with him about what you can do and what you cannot.

Your meds make you tired so you rest and heal.

If he doesn’t like your reduced ability to do housework he can fuck right off.

If he's out training for this marathon - an activity he chooses to do for himself - why on earth would he expect that you do all the housework? To hell with that. Go for a lie down and if he dares comment when he gets back tell him if he wanted a clean house he could have stayed home and you could have done it together.

You sound resigned to be treated badly. This isn't normal.

You shouldn't be needing to worry about this. I am struggling to imagine a scenario in which a decent human being would have a go at you for not cleaning your home whilst recovering from such an injury.

What was life like before the injury?
