To think he should care more..

I’ve just this morning got home from hospital. I’ve had sever stomach and chest pains, nausea, unable to eat. I’ve been in a bad way mentally and physically. I’ve not eaten for days, didn’t sleep at all last night. Partner picked me up and I said I feel really sick I want to get home, he then went to Lidl for 15 mins and then sulked as I said please can you not go to McDonald’s. He’s then said how stressed he is with work and disappeared into the home office. He didn’t ask if I wanted a bath, drink, hot water and has left me to look after our 2 year old. I’m in pain, mentally and physically unwell and drained. I’m dizzy, nauseous, my cannula arm still hurts.

AIBU to think he could’ve cared a bit more?

Oh, that's so awful. He sounds horrible.

I'm so sorry you're unwell and in pain. Your partner is a selfish pig. Do you have anyone else who could come over and look after you for a while or is there anywhere else you could go?

Of course he should, but you know that

YANBU definitely.
Awful selfish behaviour.
When one of my parents died I got home after 3 days sleeping in hospital chair at bedside. Partner had been in charge of 2 kids for 3 days. Teenagers. I get back after no sleep for 3 days and a 4 hour drive. He makes me a brew then goes out...for the whole evening. Kids asking what is for tea. Little food in fridge/cupboards. I scrabble together a meal. Wake up next morning and there is no milk for a cuppa.Funnily enough he is now my ex DH
Get rid OP he's a selfish twat. I get he had to work but you have been IN HOSPITAL. At least make a brew/some food.

Have you got MH support and some follow up planned OP?
Is this normal behaviour for him?

Houseofpainjumparound · 30/04/2024 06:39

Christ op. I had minor surgery which made me feel unwell. My husband was holding my hand, took me home, collected children, bought me fish and chips and everything else.

You know full well he should care more and he is being a selfish arse. if you decide to marry (assume your not) then make sure he understands "in sickness and in health"

I really hope you are feeling better and you have someone who can help with the toddler

I was in hospital, taken in by ambulance, came out feeling shaky and distressed. On discharge my DP said I'll look after you. He didn't. He seriously didn't do anything to help at all. That was the day I realised I didn't need him anymore because he simply didn't care. He quickly became my ex DP.

Have you got any other support OP who you can call on? Family? Friends? Not that you should need to to as DH should be there for you. He is being selfish. I hope you feel better soon 💐

O my dear girl, please reach out to friends or family for some help. Once you are better think long and hard, do you really want this very selfish man in your life…he will not change. You are young, don’t sentence yourself to a life with this horrible person, you deserve so much more, so dies your child.
