I booked a concert with some friends a few months ago, which is taking place this evening. DH booked a ticket a few weeks ago as he found out one of his friends was going too, which I was happy about. They were both attending an all day charity event together beforehand, so he was going to meet me there.
I started feeling really unwell last night and was actually sobbing in pain. DH was shocked, saying he’d never seen me like that before.
I dragged myself up this morning, did a food shop and hoped I’d feel better for tonight. DH kept saying that we just shouldn’t go tonight, he’d be relieved if we just stayed in instead etc.
I ended up doing a covid test as I still felt pretty dreadful and it was positive, so I’ve obviously made the decision not to attend the concert. I phoned DH and told him I’d tested positive. He said that was brilliant, he was glad he no longer had to go to the concert and he’d come home. He said something along the lines of doing the right thing by me to look after me etc (I.e. made himself out to be a bit of hero) and laboured the point quite heavily.
10 mins ago I received 3 phone calls (phone on silent, as I was trying to rest), so I phoned back and he just casually said “Just arrived at the concert, won’t stay long, just wanted to check it out”. I don’t mind, but why tell me he was going to come home and look after me (not that I needed it or asked for it?!) and then go to the concert anyway and not make any reference to the previous conversation?!
He does has done similar before. Is there an explanation for this type of behaviour?
