to want to shoot my husband in these circumstances.......

[MummyAnnabella]

50 miles from home and work my car basically blows up at 12pm. i text husbnad and work to say what has happened while i wait for roadside assist man. work immed call wanting to know can they do anything.

30 min later H texts to say he has a appt at 2pm and can come and get me about 5pm! yes that is 5 hours later and i am at side of road in rain. and yes that was texts and not calls.

over an hour passes and i makes calls and basically sort out a tow truck and a garage. H does not call in meantime to see if i am okay or what he can do.

2 hours later he calls to see what is happening and i tell him i have it sorted and thanks for his concern! he then tells me i have worked myself up over nothing and not to take it out on him!

btw i am 33 weeks pregnant and had my last baby prematurely and am high risk of another early labour.

what would you do? AIBU by wanting to kill him??

Honestly? My first reaction was that he doesn't care about you very much. Sorry.

the mechanic was v v hot btw!!! and he was sweet helping me up into the cab with my big bump in my high heels in the rain! he was more supportive than my H too! even stopped at cash point so i could pay him and gave me discount. wish i had run off with him!!

i agree he should be v apologetic but i know him better than to expect that! and yes carmenere that is exactly how i felt!

Yes 2003 just by Woodhall Farm Sainsbury.

Wow. Glad I don't go to Hemel too often! (And very glad you were OK, obviously, must have been a dreadful experience.)

Lolipop, I do wonder what I would do if I broke down and couldn't contact DH, probably call 118 118 , stick my leg out and flag down a gentleman to help {grin]

MummyA - nice one re the hot mechanic, at least you had something pretty to lust look at while you waited.

Attitude of your H is a bit worrying considering number 2 is on the way. A serious sit down chat may be called for.

Good luck with the rest of the preg.

Bloody hell annabelle! I'd lend you the gun.

Not to work yourself up about nothing?? wtf A little concern from him would have made things so much better.

My DH would have dropped everything (if possible) and come to help me if I asked him to.

shoot him and make sure the tow truck driver reverses over him to finish the job.....Then as you are pregnant you can feel massively guilty about it and bring him back to life with big kisses.....

interesting! I had the exact opposite last week with my dh. he goes off to important meeting miles away and calls about 40 mins later saying car steaming/smoking and had I 'forgotten to top up the oil?'

He asked/told me to come and find him (he didn't know exactly where he was as he'd used back roads and was near a tiny village in neighbouring county. ANd bring some oil.

Politely but firmly I declined. Gave him the RAC number and the policy number.

Didn't answer the phone for the next hour as he left increasingly angry messages on phone.

RAC came 2 hours later and it wasn't the oil.

my agument was, he should have checked the oil, he drives it. why should i come out when i too have work to do? Why should we pay for RAC and him not use it?
we were icy for days!!

overthemill if you had posted that there would have been about 20 posts going 'isn't he a grown man?'

Well he wasn't 33 weeks pregnant with your child overthe

oh of course he wasn't and i am in sympathy with op most definitely. she is 33 wks pg so has extenuating circumstances. just a contrast!

Salleroo I was pleased to hear that you have a back up plan should you break down and your dh not be available to assist.

MummyA hope relations are a little less frosty this morning? At the least he should have cooked last night.

things are less frosty now but he didnt see that he had done anything wrong the first night. last night he made a v half hearted apology saying he had been trying to get things shifted and was planning to call me when he had a plan - all i wanted was a little support and concern not a bloody plan!!!

as for cooking first night i was so mad i didnt make dinner and he did say he would put something on for me at about 8pm!! i said okay put pasta on so he boiled kettle and then i went to put ds to bed and came back and kettle boiled but no pasta on so ended up doing myself! he said oh but i was on the phone - now it did ring but it is mobile so how hard would it have been to pour water into pan whilst on phone???

think i just have a useless one!!!!! how do you ladies train them?

'How do you ladies train them?' - You don't. You leave the useless bastards on the shelf and go for one that knows how to look after himself!
