For wanting some help from DH

For the 2nd time in as many months I have managed to get a nail in my tyre on my car. The first time it was a repair job, this time its likely to be a new tyre. These things happen.

It happened a few days ago, I then went away with work, managed to pump it up with some air and drive for a bit on it, buts now not salvageable and everywhere is closed until Tuesday obviously. Which is fine as no plans to go anywhere.

I am on a course Tuesday morning until 11am so asked DH if he could ring the mobile repair people to get them out Tuesday. He has just gone off on a massive rant about how its my fault, I knew about it before I went away and should have dealt with it so to expect no help from him etc

Is it too much to ask him to make a call. Didn't ask him to pay, or deal with them while they were here just simply ring.

For reference we had to use my car yesterday for something for his family and because he wanted a drink. He won't let me drive his car.

I don’t think his reaction is reasonable. But his point is, if that makes sense.

i don’t get why on earth you’d drive round with a deflating tyre. Tyre places are open regular enough, and if you’re willing to pay for whatever tyre they have in stock it’s a 15 min job
