Husband cancelled 2 nights away because he has a cold...

[railingsdown]

So he has a cold.
Took a Covid test and it was clear
He is sneezing and feeling sorry for himself.
We were meant to go away today
Last night he said "can we set off later tomorrow " I said yes
Then this morning he said he doesn't want to go at all
So now he is playing on the computer upstairs
I'm honestly fuming
I've lost the train fare £70
Luckily hotel was pay on arrival so I can cancel

Aibu to be annoyed ?

Hotels normally have 24 hour cancelation policy. Even if its pay on arrival expect them to try and get payment for late cancelation. Who can blame them really??

Colds always sound nothing but they can make you feel pretty shit..I wouldn't want to be wandering around for a couple of days feeling crap.
Work is for a few hours and you can usually dose up on tablets to get through but then go home and go to bed.

If he feels ill, it’s understandable that he doesn’t want to spend two days walking around York. If you want to go, go with a friend, or go alone. Leave the poor bloke to be ill at home 🙄

You said he doesn’t have a cough 🙄

Man child. Tell him to grow up.

I think that is fair, not to go, cold can be awful, plus he could be spreading it around to people with compromise immune system, which would be incredibly selfish on both of you.

Enjoy a solo trip and send pics of the great time you're having! Xx

He's trying to pass the cold on to you so you get sick and are not up for going next weekend I bet. Anything to wiggle his way out!!!

Said no one ever on a thread where the sexes are reversed.

some people will really stretch to blame the man in all situations!

Except I would say it if the sexes were reversed.

OP was looking forward to a weekend away and he won't go because of a runny nose but is managing work and gaming.

Also, the coughing without covering and lying on her pillow is rude. I would accuse ANYONE of doing that as being rude

I would be hopping mad OP. Would have invited a friend, gone anyway and left him to it.
Glad his parents were able to use the tickets. Hope they told their ADULT son what a child he is being. And next weekend, he owes you, big time.
Stomach bug - totally understandable. But he is being pathetic.

Yes, this. Some of the replies seem pretty unsympathetic. Colds vary - some are nothing much, others make you feel totally miserable, certainly too rough to be able to enjoy a weekend away, walking around, eating out etc. Just give the poor bloke some hot drinks and aspirin and tell him not to worry, the trip can be rearranged.
