Angry with husband for sleeping

85 replies

I’ll start by saying that my husband is a really good guy and we rarely have cross words. So it’s really unusual for me to feel this level of anger with him and I don’t know whether I’m being completely unreasonable and perhaps taking work stresses out on him.

But I’m seething. Because Friday evening, he was having a bit of trouble with a neck ache, so he took some Tramadol and Methocarbamol. He never takes tablets and was prescribed these particular drugs months ago for a back spasm. He had a terrible reaction to them at the time (nausea and vomiting) so I was cross that he was taking them and told him not to. He didn’t listen and ended up having to go up to bed early.

Saturday morning comes and he’s queasy, so he firstly goes nuts at the gym 🙄 and then decides to go buy benedryl from Tesco, having read it stops nausea. By early afternoon he’s having to go to bed he’s so sleepy...and he doesn’t get up until 10am THIS MORNING!

So all the nice plans we had; a beach day today; seeing family; nice walks etc have not transpired because he’s slept all weekend and it’s back to work tomorrow for us both until next weekend.

I’m so freaking angry! That yes, I’ve managed to ruin today too as I’ve shouted at him and ignored him. But I work so hard during the week, I’ve been soooo stressed out at work and really resent that he’s wasted the weekend.

Ok. Holding my breathe for responses. AIBU yeas or no?
Thank you in advance.

You're not joined at the hip. You could have done any or all of those things without him.

Poor guy sounds like he was unwell

Selfish much? You OH is in pain and not feeling well and all you can think of is your weekend ruined?

MitziK · 20/09/2020 22:07

I'd have gone nuts. Not because my day out was spoiled, but because of the massive risk he took by mixing medications.

I don’t think YABU.
He went to the gym with neck
Pain, neck pain is awful and tramadol knocks you out for the count. If he was unwell enough to take tramadol he wasn’t well enough for the gym.
The fact he was well enough for the gym meant he could have prioritised your weekend together as much as pain allowed. It would piss me off having my dh in bed all day and night unless he was very ill.
Sounds like he was a bit irresponsible with the tablets but could have actually functioned ok.

And THIS is why we read the full thread.

I voted YABU and stand by my original comment based on the information given at the time - but, the OP has taken the time to read and digest everyone’s comments, has reconsidered her position and admitted she overreacted. What’s the point of AIBU if, when people take the advice they’re given on board and reassess on that basis, they still get kicked? Give the OP the courtesy of reading what she’s written and respond accordingly.

I'd just have gone out on my own, my ex husband was a proper sulker and a misery wherever we went so I used to have much more fun out on my own chatting to other single people and enjoying the beach ambience.
I went to IKEA recently as a divorced woman and it was bliss, I just took my time, looked at everything and had a nice time without someone else rushing me round and whining the whole time about being bored, hot, cold, tired.
Looking around near every man/woman couple was either arguing or had a face like a slapped arse. The groups of women out together were all laughing and smiling.

YWBU but it made me laugh because it sounds like me!
