My husband is out of town on business and in the evening he decided to go out for a motorcycle ride with his dad for an hour while in town. I said that was fine but I was sick and feeling bad but an hour was okay but could he stick close to his phone after that just in case I needed anything or just needed support from my husband. Well I called a couple of times after the hour had passed then found out they added dinner to their route. I am okay on my own and all but inconsideratness to any level is hard to tolerate when I feel sick as dog and am throwing up etc. What do you think?

I am trying to get more answers and get a general opinion. Maybe I am wrong.

I don't know, but you are being silly for deleting and re-posting this question in edited forms because you get answers you disagree with. If you disagree with the answers, just say why!

Your husband is on a business trip and he is not able to physically help you. If you are very ill and don't have any friends or family members in your area to check up on you than call 911 and go to the emergency room. Maybe your husband didn't call, because he thought you might have been sleeping, since you have been throwing up. Well, at least that's what I would do in your situation. I think you are over reacting by getting annoyed. There is no reason for this. I don't understand why he would need your permission to see his Dad for one hour. If you are controlling your husband you end up loosing him.

it's hard to find a husband who will care for a sick wife. but easy to find a wife that will care for a sick husband. such is the nature of men and women.
perhaps your husband is just tired. business travel is not fun. well, some of it may be fun (while out of town, heh heh), but the coming back home bit is not fun. so the last thing he wanted was a sick wife. so when he found a good excuse to cop out, he did.
if you want him around, then you should specifically state that he should stay with you cos you are very sick. since you let him out, he thinks you cant be that sick anyway, but probably too sick for dinner, so he might as well have dinner out first.
you probably need to get a guide book on how to handle men. otherwise, you will feel all sorts of frustration and anger over something that passed over his head.

I can understand why you're annoyed. You want your husband to show a little more concern for you, especially when you're sick. I can also understand your husband wanting to spend time with his dad. I guess what I would do is just let it go and be thankful he's with his dad and not doing something he shouldn't be doing. And, I hope you start feeling better soon! I was sick like that a year ago, and it was awful!

Just keep in mind that it was only an hour. And he was out of town with his father bonding.
I understand you are sick and vomitting, but afterall you did say you are okay on your own. I would let it slide.

You shouldn't be checking up on him like that. You'll push him away. What's wrong with him having dinner with his dad?

He should have at least called to see how you were doing and to let you know that they planned to be out longer. He was very inconsiderate. You need to discuss it with him.

You come off as too needy, which will drive him away.
