DH in a mood because I received an appointment for my covid jab

[Originalyellowbelly]

I am several years older than him and have been shielding since last March due to a medical condition. I showed him my appt and he just humphed and grumpily said I wonder when I will get mine. He seems to think he should have his now even though he is not in any of the top four categories, why can't he be pleased that I have mine and that the more people that are vaccinated the sooner we will be able to have a bit more normality in our lives.

Maybe I phrased the title wrong, perhaps he is not miffed that I got mine just miffed be didn't.

@Originalyellowbelly

I will definitely be having mine! Yes, whenever I am I'll or have a headache etc he always has something worse, if I broke a leg he would say he had broken two.

I couldn't put up with someone like this. I'm amazed at the number of men I hear who act like this!

He sounds horrible! Not very loving, as a pp said.

Some of the pp’s who’ve described difficult situations I can understand- when they are vulnerable too, just not as high up the list. OP’s husband seems to have not reason to think he should have his, save for a sense of entitlement!

You're not unreasonable. He will get his before long! I think it is dreadful that people are resentful of those receiving the vaccine.

He sounds very immature....

He does realise that it doesn't mean you'll be off galavanting without him and that you need to wait for the second does to give a decent level of immunity and pretty much carry on as you are for now?

What a self centred pillock you're married to.

I suggest that he goes with you. He may be offered a spare.

That is so mean of your DH.

My DH will be getting his maybe quite a while before me, hopefully soon.
I will be delighted when he does, so so pleased for him.

YANBU, what a muppet. That said, I was quite jealous when DH got vaccinated for one of the trials last year. I signed up for the same trial but didn't hear anything :(

DianaT1969 he can jolly well wait his turn like everyone else. My appt is early morning so I doubt there will be any going spare then. Entitled? Definitely.

My DH got his 1st jab at the end of December, even though his risk of hospitalisation and death are roughly half of mine.

He works in a care home, that’s why he was prioritised. Unfortunately that’s also where he caught Covid before his vaccine had time to work (was probably already infected when he got it, actually). He then gave it to me.

Happy to report we are both fine.

I know my friend is happy her partner was called but she has had to shield to keep him safe with great emotional cost to herself, she is quite honest about being envious that in a few weeks he may have more freedom that her. She knows it’s irrational and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

He hasn’t come across well, jealousy isn’t nice.

I have mine on 2nd Feb, when my appointment came through my partner was very happy as he is worried about bringing anything home from work and making me ill.

My elderly parents, who have not yet been immunised, were ecstatic when I got mine (clinically vulnerable frontline health worker). Your DH is a bit of a tosser.

My DH gets his tomorrow- front line worker. I am thrilled - I worry about his health and it is a weight of my chest he will have more protection. Because I love him and I want him to be safe. One DD has also had hers. My turn will come. I cannot imagine begrudging the people I love most in the world a vaccine.

My dh has been given the opportunity to get his and he was swithering I told him to get it ASAP as we have two kids I'm in group 4 so still a way off till I get mine and our kids need at least one parent

I guess he doesn't give a toss about me, at least I know how he truly feels.

I’ve had mine, I’m a community nurse, but my clinically vulnerable 16yr dd has to wait.
She absolutely fine about it and completely understands.
Your husband is being very childish.

What a bellend, is he usually this selfish and unsupportive?

My BIL was the same... jealous of his own wife. Pathetic.
I was thrilled when my husband got his a few weeks ago (NHS)

@Originalyellowbelly, I'm projecting here from my own experiences (happily free now...), but I suspect your husband has his nose out of joint because he is SPECIAL and can't stand to see people (but especially YOU) getting something he, in his entitled mind, deserves more. You have my sympathies - it's distressing to realise the person who should be in your corner does not wish you well.

Has he been shielding with you since March to prevent you getting ill? Because if so, I can see why he is feeling miffed

I had mine a couple of weeks as I work for the NHS & have patient contact.

DH has asthma but was happy for me to go first. I think his exact words were “good, you can be the guinea pig” 😂🙄.

I had mine today (NHS staff) but my shielding DH is waiting patiently. We're early 50's. He's been nothing but delighted for me. I suggest your DH is being a prize twat.
