Alone on holiday

Feeling more upset about this than I usually do, so wondering if I’m overreacting. Please be kind.
On holiday with a group of friends (couples). Two of us overslept and missed dinner. Other hungry friend has food brought by DP. When I say I’m hungry later (10:30ish) DH says I’ll be fine to go and fetch something on my own. Only a 5/10 minute walk, but in a foreign country and late. I can’t explain how hurt I was by this and I can’t get over the lack of care or consideration. I also suspect he didn’t want to leave the bar.
He does have form for being selfish so I don’t know if this is worse or just the final straw.

I often travel alone - if I couldn't go out after dark for food on my own I'd be screwed!!!

Can you really not see that it isn't the same issue?

So the husband is expected to drop what he's doing to go with her and/or get food?

Has nothing to do with being a "cool girl" although well don't for the attempt at being a patronising arse!

If I had slept through dinner in a group holiday, I got up 4 hours later and my DP was chilling having drinks with the group, I absolutely would not expect him to come and find food with me, because I'm a grown woman! Mine would undoubtedly offer, but I would never in a million years expect it, because he is on holiday too, not just there to be at my beck and call! Even if he didn't offer, I wouldn't think him selfish, unkind or unbothered, and certainly wouldn't be crying on MN about it, calling him such and saying I was alone on holiday!

I can imagine cries of LTB if the shoe was on the other foot 😂

Well quite. He's her husband, not her maid.

The OP didn't even tall about accompanying her. More running an errand
