Help me sort myself out

I'm so pissed off with my husband and I know I'm being totally unreasonable. On here I know you'll be brutally honest and get me to stop being a spoilt brat.
I have hurt my back which does happen a fair bit but usually I just take painkillers and carry on. However it's particularly bad and I asked my husband to take tomorrow morning off work.
Not for me but because I'm finding all the bending and lifting that come with a 4 month old difficult and painful.
We had a bit of a row and he went to bed. Now I feel guilty but still pissed off. Just tell me to sort myself out.

I don't think YABU askjng him to take time off to help when youre struggling but could it be a case of short notice and bad timing? If he has any deadlines looming then I see why it could be tricky otherwise I personally think it is a perfectly reasonable request.

So do I.

Yes its short notice..but things like this tend to be.YANBU

I'm not sure that you having recurrent back ache justifies him not working.

I think that you need to be caring for lo ensuring that you are not over bending unnecessarily.

I think yabu.

'Oh darling, I think I'm going to put my back out a week on Monday, please could you book the morning off work' 🙄🙄

Regardless of whether or not it's bad timing or short notice the only replies relevant to your request would be a) oh yes I can do that, b) I'm sorry that's a tricky time but I'll see if I can work something out, or c) I'm really sorry but I can't tomorrow but what can I do tonight/before I leave in the morning to make your day as easy as possible?

Anything else is unwarranted and no yanbu.

What nokidshere said. Fellow back pain sufferer here, I feel your pain!
