I’ve got civic- husband put out

[Flippinhec]

DS and I are isolating, my husband has remained with us but is covid free, due to rhino skin and red wine flowing through his veins. I’m feeling rough & have just about managed to turn out the odd meal. When I simply can’t my husband will order burgers, as he throws a paddy if he has to do anything, all week he has managed one jacket potato & a burnt but of chicken. I’ve apologised for not being well(!) he says “well I’m not having a good day but I still have to work”. To make things worse my mum is in hospital and I can’t go but he can test & mask up and visit but he’s not been, he doesn’t like to be told what to do. I shouted at him this morning to pull his finger out but he’s sat here huffing and puffing. What do I do with this awkward bugger. AIBU?

You have posted in the wrong section. Covid isn't your problem, your husband is.

Poor petrol over him and set him on fire???

Obviously this is said lightheartedly.

My advice is divorce. He sounds vile.

Yeah, it’s been on my mind..

oh so true....

You really see who cares when you are ill.

your husband doesn’t care.

This. I’m so sorry @Flippinhec , I think if I was you I would be questioning my marriage.

Does he have any care that you and DC are unwell?

Makes you wonder.. If he’s Ok first then things tick along- I realise how that sounds! Me, myself & I.....selfish.

Yeah, it’s making me wonder what do women do. He does earn the money, I’m Mums carer receiving £270 a month. Feel a bit stuck...

And he knows very well you are stuck…. Hence why he thinks he can get away with that sort if behaviour.

Yes, I see that now. It’s hard to feel empowered, I am on the Blackfoot. I need a plan!

Apologies, backfoot not blackfoot !

“It’s making me wonder what do women do”

I don’t mean this to brag, I am unwell today and this is what I have done today: laid on the sofa with a blanket and Netflix.

111 said I should see someone within 2 hours, but that the wait for an appointment was likely to be 5 hours. After hearing about the delays, my husband offered to pay for me to see a private online GP, and now I have a prescription, wants to come with me to the chemist. I am confident if I asked, he would go to the chemist for me, but I fancy a gentle walk.

I’m addition, my husband made all our meals today, and brought me cups of tea. He wants me to feel well again.

I don’t mean to brag, my husband has his faults, but looking after each other when you need it is important. You are right to feel wronged, because you are being wronged by your husband He needs to step up.

Wow, he’s a keeper! My Dad always said “he’s not good enough for you”. I’ve had 1 cuppa all week! Getting jarred off.

I’m sending you a virtual cup of tea x

Thankyou, I needed that😀
