DH

[Northernmumxx79]

Both DH and I have health issues. His are definitely worse than mine so I provide lots of support. Now this week has been tough for me. I had a difficult hospital appointment, followed by back pain. Today I tripped over whilst wrapping presents. He was in the room but about to go out. He didn't even ask if I was OK let alone help me up.
Obviously I will be discussing it with him but AIBU to get cross and moreover upset.

If anyone trips over the natural automatic response, as far as I'm concerned, is to ask that person if they are OK. And if they have fallen as as a result of the trip to help them up. So if your DH did neither of things for you it is really quite extraordinary. He is supposed to be the person who loves you and cares about you.
So yes I would be upset with him.

Thank you. He doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong and got defensive when I mentioned it. I probably should have said he is probably autistic but our autistic son would have done something.

Being autistic is not an excuse for being a twat. This reminds me of the time my mother was terminally ill. I was helping her up the stairs to bed and we had to sit at the top for her to rest a bit. My stepdaughter got up from bed, stepped over her and went downstairs.

What will he be like if you ever become seriously ill?

I agree. My autistic son has his moments but he would have checked on me.

I find it very disturbing behaviour that someone who was meant to care about me would just ignore me sprawling on the floor and go out. Especially if I was already in pain.

Is he usually this indifferent to you? If so I would reconsider my relationship because it seems to be one way.
