To be upset by this?

This morning I had an MRI scan on a lump on my foot. It’s unlikely serious but it’s been worrying me. When I got home, from work this evening my OH didn’t ask me about it. He just talked about his day. I’m not shocked by this but I also think that maybe it’s a bit shit?

I'm sorry he didn't ask. My DH is a bit like this and I learned to just tell him things. He doesn't expect anyone to ask about his ailments either so it's not a double standard thing.

Did your DH know you were worried? I hope it come back as nothing serious, even when you know it's probably nothing brains are good at doing the "what if..."

Maybe he forgot.

Thank you for your reply x
He knew I was worried and to be honest I’m not shocked but it’s made me question how much he cares as these things do make you start to look at your life a bit more! I’m sure it’s probably fine but yes, it’s definitely scary and make you think the worst. X

Of course you aren't unreasonable to be upset by his apparent lack of care. But in my opinion with these things is that you address it directly with him, or let it go. Don't silently seethe for hours/days/weeks and get more and more worked up. In all likelihood it has slipped his mind, not a good reason, but not malicious. If you aren't shocked then it suggests a pattern of behaviour, maybe now is as good a time as any to bring up how it makes you feel? If you aren't prepared to do that then move on.

Yeh sounds like he might have forgotten or isn't used to asking himself. My dh doesn't ask either.

I've had a shite day on a course where nearly failed it, so stressful. Dh came home with his worst part of the day being his sandwich he bought for lunch was missing half its filling Hmm

Maybe remind him. Hope it all goes ok for you x

Thank you. I hope you’re feeling better now @BellaTheDarkOverlord. X
