DH fascinating over my tablets

[NotSoSlimShadee]

I have an inner ear infection, DH reckons he does too - which ironically came on after I told him my symptoms. I went to GP Wednesday and have been given antibiotics. Ever since, DH has been sniffing around my tablets, keeps asking to share them but I’ve told him I need them all as I have to finish the course! Last night I went to take my dose and they were missing - I found them in a shoe (accidentally as dog just happened to pick that shoe up to carry around). DH reckons he doesn’t know how they got there. This morning I woke up with a bad stomach, DH says it’s the tablets causing it and I should stop taking them - he basically just wants to get his hands on them. Lunch time they were missing again (found in a random cupboard). AIBU to be furious at his behaviour?? He did this last time with my sinus spray.

This is beyond odd behaviour

That’s fucking bizarre. Is he otherwise controlling in your life? I just can’t understand this level of weirdness to be quite honest

Is this for real?!

He needs quite serious help.

Health anxiety is one thing.

Being bloody attention seeking and getting in the way of your wife's recovery by deliberately sabotaging her medication is another.

If he is sick, he can go to the GP.

Does he take other things that are yours? Like eat your treats or always steal the best bits of everything? Does he resent you having anything for yourself?

This is one of the strangest things I’ve ever read on here.

I bet this isn't the only weird thing he's ever done is it?

So weird.

They're just antibiotics, right? I can't imagine being that desperate to get my hands on some antibiotics unless I was really sick. And if he's really sick, he needs to get his own doctor's appointment and his own antibiotics.

This is awful - if he thinks he has the same infection you have then why hasn't he been to the GP to get his own medication? (Because he knows in his heart that he hasn't.) Hide your medication from him and tell him to stop being so selfish.

Your thread has reminded me of one of the distressing ones from a few years ago where the OP's partner used to steal her medication - for a serious condition- because he had a drugs habit. He left her in pain and didn't care.

I would find your H's behaviour weird and extremely selfish. He obviously doesn't care about your health and wellbeing.

I would be saying “oi fuckface, I need to take the full course. If you’re sick, go to the doctors”
then hiding the bloody tablets and contemplating what other shitty things he does

Do you think he might want antibiotics for something else?

That was my first thought until I read about the sinus spray!

Your DH needs to get a GP appointment and go and get his own prescription for meds IF there is anything really wrong with him.
Some chemists will check people’s ears if they think they may have an infection and then suggest antibiotics from the GP.
Can you hide your antibiotics in the car or somewhere he can’t track them down? Sellotape them out of sight under a table so you know they are safe and you can get them? That kind of behaviour is very strange OP, if you don’t finish the course the infection could come back and you must be in pain too.

He’s obsessed with antibiotics and I’m pretty sure he hoards them. Same with beans. His mother is forever complaining of beans going missing from her cupboards

Wtf ?
beans ? Really ? Like baked beans ?

This is so weird. Hide your medication.

Yes, bakes beans

hes lovely otherwise - it’s just this bloody obsession he has that drives me mad

Keep your antibiotics on your person.
Other than that, I don't know what to suggest

Sorry, but this behaviour is deranged.

So bizarre.
I don't believe this is a one off. What other weird stuff does he do?

And why doesn't he just go to he Dr and get his own? Or pick up a nasal spray from boots or the supermarket?

I'm fascinated.

Buy him a bag of Skittles and see if that helps.

Wtf?

What is his reasoning behind the obsession? What does he do with them? The beans and the antibiotics? This is so strange!!

Okay so now he steals from your mother? His behaviour is either completely unhinged or this is a wind up.

Swap a strip with laxatives and tell him to help himself...

We're all weird in some way, but he knows he is compromising your wellbeing so yes,in your position, I'd be way more furious than understanding.
