I have fractured my leg, and in a walking cast. Its rather painful, cant really do much even going upstairs to the toilet is a struggle.

My other half works full time and has a hobby which he does on occasional weekends, i have up to now not had a problem with it i have my own hobbies.

Was i silly to think he would give up his hobby this weekend to help me?

Is this a sign he just doesn't care enough?

I find this with my nephew who does a lot for me. He knows I cant carry anything up or downstairs as I walk with a stick and need the other hand on the stair rail. If I ask him to bring something up or down for me he will do it. But he will walk cheerily past things on the bottom stair waiting to be taken up even if he is going up there.

Like a lot of men he thinks just about the things he has to do at that immediate time but does not seem to anticipate or plan ahead. I on the other hand am a planner and am always thinking "what if".
