DH refusing to help out

[KeenPeachExpert]

We live in quite an isolated area with very limited public transport. I don’t drive and am very dependent on DH on the weekends to get anywhere.

A few weeks ago, DH had a moan at me about having to spend his weekend driving us around. I admit, I became upset and we had a full blown argument.

The following weekend, I had to pick up something from town. DH asked me we were going to town to pick it up. I was still upset by his attitude and I told him I didn’t want to go.

He asked again the following weekend and I told him I didn’t want to go.

The following weekend the shop told me to pick it up or they’d return the item. I asked DH if he could take me and he refused. He said he asked me three times over the previous two weekends and I had said no, so he was t prepared to take me.

i ended up having to take a lift from a friend but I cannot keep doing this.

Am I being unreasonable to expect him to take me? If it matters, we both work and I do the bulk of the housework.

I don’t blame him at all - learn to drive! It’s a basic life skill and essential if you chose to live outside a city. Poor man.

⬆️🤷‍♀️

Then, call a local taxi service or take the bus.

Relying on someone else to drive you around is what my mum did when I was 14.

Frankly, you both need to grow up a bit, but especially you, OP.

He offered to take her twice and she refused as sulking

Being the only driver in a remote spot would become annoying; you need to learn to drive or move to avoid that. Him being lazy with housework is a different matter. That needs to stop.

Or that there ars lots of lical taxis and buses

I drive so it is irrelevant, but even where we live (5 miles from town) the local taxis are one man bands and are booked up weeks ahead, and public transport is only hourly through the day.

Yes, but OP 's thing has been there waiting for her for 3 weeks.

We have no idea if she goes into town ever, during the time (work, shopping, taking dc places, meeting friends, etc) but we do know her dh offered to take her twice and that she refused to somehow make some sort of a point.
If she wanted to make that point so badly, then she's had 3 weeks to make the time to get that hourly bus, or book that one man taxi company. I mean, it sounds childish to me, but this isn't down to the dh.

Why on earth did you decline the second offer? You should have gone then

I don’t think the OP is coming back…

Learn to drive ! Or get things for delivery he offered twice and you said no then had a paddy when he wouldn't take you when you wanted .
