Hi all,
I have just joined as I was looking for advice about my relationship. The other night I went to the pub with my hubby but went home after a short time as I started with cystitis badly. I called at a shop on the way but could not find treatment or cranberry juice so I text him and asked him to pick some up for me after the footy had finished. I was in agony so every minute felt like an hour. The footy finished about 10pm so I thought he would be back about 10.20. I rang him about 10.30 to find out if he had managed to find anything and he was still in the pub. He rocked up home about 11.15 and was not interested as to why I was annoyed with him. I had to go out at 1130pm to a 24 hour supermarket miles away to get sorted. This was not easy as I needed to pee every two minutes. This happened on wednesday and he has yet to apologise as he does not think he has done anything wrong. I feel that he has let me down as he was not there when I really needed him but he does not think it's a big deal and says I am over-reacting.

I had text him earlier to ask if he would pick up some treatment and he said yes. I then waited for him to return with said treatment and he got home late and without it. If he had said he was staying out I would have gone myself. I wasn't being lazy but going miles away from a loo was not good for me at that point in time !
Thanks for all ur comments, it's helpfulSmile

Did you say ASAP? Me and DH would both stay out if not and assume it could wait until we were on our way home.

Likewise I like to be left alone whilst ill and DH knows to keep out of my way.

Still sounds to me like you weren't specific and expected him to know.
