Nothing shows he cares like sending me out late in the dark

[Musicmay]

So when it comes to taking the dog out over the park before she settles for the night my husband thinks it's fine for him to stay at home and make me go over in the pitch black. Bear in mind I'm the only one who takes her on decent walks every day (not an issue I love it) so its not a case of me not doing my fair share of taking her out.
Also on holiday recently we go back to the hotel after dark in a foreign country and had forgotten to buy something for our child. So he was on the phone sorting something out and refused to go. Said nothing like "take your phone so I know you are ok", nothing.

I honestly have never been with anyone before that would not worry in the slightest and actively tells me to go out in the dark, whethere its 7am or 1am!.
I've spoken to him about it but he does genuinely not get it. I actually feel like if he really couldn't care less about my safety I want to leave him!
Am I being precious or is this really not on?!

Well statistically he's more likely - twice as likely - to be attacked than you are

Misleading. As per your linked stats, he is twice as likely to be physically attacked, she is twice as likely to be sexually attacked.

Is he a hands on Dad or does he leave that to you as well? Just sounds like he wants to leave the unpleasant tasks to you.

I'm not sure from the OP's posts whether she has told her dh how she feels. It seems to me that she assumes that men should know that women don't feel safe walking at night, and that therefore her dh is uncaring in allowing her to do the late night dog walking.

She might be right of course, but he may have a very different perspective. He might think that the dog really doesn't need to be taken to the park so late at night and neither of them need to go out. Or he might think that their area is safe and that there is no need to be concerned. If empathy isn't his strong point (especially as a martial artist) safety might just not be on his agenda and it hasn't crossed his mind that she might be frightened. Or he might feel that she could take steps to become more resilient (for example by taking self defense classes) and find her helpless pose annoying.

The OP hasn't told us how her dh has reacted when she has asked him to take the dog for a walk instead, or when she has told him she is scared so it's difficult to know what his possible motivations are. She just said he doesn't get it. My dh wouldn't understand either.

This isn't about statistics though.

My DH doesn't do spiders. We are in the UK, statistically what's the worst that a UK spider could do?

The point is that he is scared so I deal with them.

He's expressed clearly his feelings, I don't share his feelings but I have empathy and spare him from his fears.

Question is, has the OP clearly expressed her feelings (rather than seeming just a little uneasy) so is his behaviour is a rejection of her fears?

I get it. It's about him thinking about you and wanting to do something to make you feel loved. Could be walking the dog, could be cleaning the toilet could be doing the washing. It's nice when they do that without being told. It's not about not being able to do it yourself, it's about feeling he cares enough to do it anyway.

Whose pet is it?

Was it a joint decision?

or

If we get I pet I will look after it and take it for walks etc. type deals?
