I've just been away on a much looked forward to family weekend, (no kids, siblings only) don't see each other often, counted down the days etc. Whilst there we got the devastating news that a childhood friend of ours had died very suddenly. I texted DH when I found out, in shock, yesterday and heard nothing back at all. On my return this afternoon, he referred to it, and I said I assumed he hadn't got my text as I hadn't heard from him. He said that he had seen the text, but he was "busy", and sarcastically "I apologise if my response wasn't good enough for you". He has a lot of form in being utterly useless in emotional matters, but am I BU to be completely gutted at his lack of care or interest. Our weekend turned out to be very special, and we were pleased to have been together to support each other, but the fact remains my friend died and he didn't "have time" to text sorry.

Your husband doesn't care about you. Of course you're not unreasonable to be hurt by that.

I'm sorry about your friend. Time to reflect on your own life, perhaps.
