Okay. So I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable or not.

I woke up this morning with sudden onset blurry vision, and severe headache.

Went to eye a&e were I was found to have pressure in the back of my eyes, so they decided to send me straight to a&e

I went sent straight to a&e as told. I've had a CT can (awaiting results) where they're querying a blood clot or intercranial hypertension.

My partner works away. Tonight he is 2 hours away in Preston. He's gone out for dinner with his work friends which is fine. Here is where I may be unreasonable.
I asked him not to get drunk in case I needed him tonight, or for whatever reason he had to drive back. He agreed three times.

I've just been texting him and he's drunk as anything. He says I'm having a pop for no reason, and just being argumentative and stopping him having drinks for no reason. He'll no doubt stop talking to me now.

So AIBU for asking him not to drink? Even though he's 2.5 hours away?

YANBU at all!! My DP works away also and that's hard enough as it is never mind having this stress on top of you, I'm so sorry Blush you should be the one not talking to him now! X

Formaldeheidi · 22/07/2021 22:49

Ugh. Bin him. He’s not reliable, or respectful, or caring.

I hope your scan comes back with good news. Please don’t engage in any further argument with him. You don’t need the unnecessary stress Flowers

AtrociousCircumstance · 22/07/2021 22:50

He’s a worthless prick and if I were you I would never recover any love for him after that.

He has shown you he doesn’t care about you. Sorry OP Flowers Hope you’re ok and you get best case scenario results.

2under2howscary · 22/07/2021 22:51

He's just put

'Why do you have to be so dramatic all the time?'

To my

'You do know my CT scan was to check for blood clots...'

That’s awful. I’m sorry, that would be dealbreaker territory for me. I hope you get some results soon and get to go home x

RaginaPhalange · 22/07/2021 22:52

Nah he's an arsehole, does he act like a selfish that all the time?
My dp would've came back seen if I was OK and went and got the kids sorted.

myspicynutsarefried · 22/07/2021 22:52

He's a nob. My dh would be on his way home to look aft ds and closer to me...it's what you do when you love someone. Sorry OP he's a selfish dick.
Hope you are okay Thanks

ellenpartridge · 22/07/2021 22:52

He's really showing his true colours isn't he! Sorry he's being such a twat and hope you are ok

Formaldeheidi · 22/07/2021 22:53

You e got a wonderful opportunity to push this loser out of your life OP. Don’t waste it!

lannistunut · 22/07/2021 22:54

Stop texting him, you need to rest.

Deal with him (dump him) tomorrow.

KILNAMATRA · 22/07/2021 22:54

He’s being an insensitive idiot.. just chill out, your child is ok, you ve got good medical care, they’re listening and responding well.. try and relax and let him realise he’s a prize ass all on his own..

WhatsWithAllTheCarrots · 22/07/2021 22:54

YADNBU. I'm so sorry you are in this situation and I hope that your results come back with something that is easy to fix. I can maybe understand your DH not coming home immediately upon you going to A&E - sometimes things turn out to be nothing, and he is far away - but from the point you got told it might be a clot and were sent for a CT scan I think he should have come straight back. And failing that, DEFINITELY not get drunk. If you are discharged in the middle of the night, how does he expect you to get home from the hospital?

Mammyloveswine · 22/07/2021 22:54

Fucking hell if I was in hospital my husband would try his best to get back to me!!!

What a fucking selfish arse!

2under2howscary · 22/07/2021 22:54

Yes he has prior for being a selfish twat if I'm honest.

On Mother's Day, I asked for a lie in. He woke me up at 4am instead to go sort our LB.

Because I was knackered I didn't speak to him to say good morning. So at 8am on Mother's Day he stormed off, leaving for work for 3 weeks without saying bye to me or my LB who adores his daddy.

I cried all day.

WhatsWithAllTheCarrots · 22/07/2021 22:55

Ugh, just saw your most recent post. He's being awful. How dare he call you dramatic?!

Beesinthegarden · 22/07/2021 22:56

The bloke is a twat. Get shot of him sooner than later. Before DS knows the difference

Medievalist · 22/07/2021 22:56

Wow. My dh would also have come straight back to support me. That's outrageously selfish and uncaring.

Hope all is well with you Thanks

2under2howscary · 22/07/2021 22:59

He's decided to go to sleep as I'm being dramatic. Ah well, fuck him.

First of all, get better and get home.

Second of all, get rid of this horrible, useless man. I am honestly shocked at how callous he is. My husband would have run to his car to get back to me in this situation.

Yes he has prior for being a selfish twat if I'm honest.

Please don't forget this, you wrote it. I hope this has been a massive wake-up call to get him out of your life. His behaviour is unforgivable.

ShowMeTheSugar · 22/07/2021 23:00

I know its never as easy as walking away there and then, but there is no way I'd waste more of my time on this dickhead.

Hope you're OK and get to the bottom of your symptoms soon

Joulesty · 22/07/2021 23:01

FFS absolutely LTB

Dramatic? Not in the ducking slightest! I hope you’re ok but it’s potentially very serious.

My husband would have left work immediately and come to be with me.

savagebaggagemaster · 22/07/2021 23:01

I hope you receive some
reassuring results very soon. When you're feeling better, get rid of this pathetic excuse for a man. He doesn't deserve you. Thanks

Strongswans · 22/07/2021 23:02

I'd be telling him to not bother coming home at all. You don't need him.I hope you get your results and back to your ds quickly

sherrystrull · 22/07/2021 23:02

Really hope you feel better soon. You deserve so much better than him.

DismantledKing · 22/07/2021 23:03

He sounds like a proper shitbag
