No help from DH after injury

When you go back to the # clinic ask them how soon it will be before you can have either a walking plaster put on or alternatively a moon boot. Meanwhile go on strike.

I think your OH is being rather unkind not to help and be supportive. As someone up thread posted, "for better or for worse etc."

?????

bmthbelle13 I am so sorry for you and cross with your DH who at one time made you a promise to look after you. Spend some of his money and get someone in to help you and have a big treat while you are at it. I hope you get better soon.

My son has just broken his ankle in two places, and is in plaster and on crutches like in the OP. He has two young children and lives in a house where there are steps to everywhere, to the kitchen, to the loo - everywhere. He has to go up and down the steps on his bottom.

I don’t know yet how his wife is reacting, but it will certainly be difficult for her to have to do everything, including all the driving and gardening. I do hope she’s being nice. It’s a test of personality.

Bridgeit and oldmeg. That’s what I’m doing, just doing what I need to do for me (which is taking ages) and leaving him to look after himself. It’s not like him as he is usually pretty easy going and will often bring me a cup of tea in bed etc but this has upset me. I don’t really need looking after as such, just fetching things as not possible to carry things on crutches and going up and down stairs for something takes forever!!

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Wait until you are totally better then stop doing anything for him, no cooking, no laundry etc

Totally agree with Bridgeit exactly what I was going to post. Look after yourself. Refuse his help. And don’t do anything for him.

Never mind being grumpy with him ,You have every right to be furious with him.
If it was me I would look after myself as best I could & totally leave him to sort himself out

I am so sad when I see post like this. I am so sorry you are in this situation.

I wouldn't be feeling grumpy I'd be furious. And I would be giving the relationship a good hard look.

Wow what a lot of information he has given you.

A real insight into the type of no care/neglect he is showing now and what you might expect should you ever need more care in the future.

For the immediate future is there anywhere you could go and stay for a couple of weeks where you will get some care? If so I'd be going and leaving him to do for himself.

I hope you rest as much as you can and STOP doing things for him so you can get well as soon as possible.

Remind him of the vows about in sickness and in health that he took!

I'd have starved to death in my own bed if my Dh hadn't cared for me when I broke my leg. I couldn't even get up in the morning without help.

I did feel bad about continually asking for help but what else could I do? Thankfully, we both survived!

Well yes you are right to feel grumpy. Husbands are often terrified of anything going wrong with their wives, and take their worries out on said wives!
