Lonely Virgil: Oct 9, 2012

I'm [32F] pregnant and sick and I feel like my husband [28M] isn't taking care of me. He feels like I'm ungrateful.

quote:

We found out we were pregnant several weeks ago. Since, the morning sickness has been unbearable. In the past two weeks, I have puked up every single meal except for dry toast. Right before Christmas, which we are hosting at our place, I become sick. Fever, chills. Its the flu, dangerous for me and the baby. I have never been so tired and so sick in my life, puking up all the meds, all the food.

My husband is a caring and loving man. He grew up in a very cold and isolated family. Often times, I find him to have the best of intentions but very selfish actions. This entire week that I've been ill, I feel like I haven't been able to count on him for anything and he thinks I'm being ungrateful. As with everything, the truth is somewhere in between. I need help trying to get what I need from him.

First it started before Christmas when I was unable to get the groceries for the dinner. I sent him to the store to get fairly common ingredients. He came back with everything except the most critical ingredient: the marinade. I asked him if he looked, he said he did. I asked him if he asked anyone to help him find it, he said no. I asked him to go back, he said no. I got my flu-ridden pregnant rear end out of bed and to the store and back with the marinade in 15 minutes. Okay. Not such a big deal. This happens all the time.

Queue a few days later. Hubby is notorious for eating everything tasty and leaving me the unwanted scraps. He eats a lot so he can go through ingredients lightening fast. I am still in bed with a 102 degree fever. I'm still puking up everything I try to eat. I ask him to make me some tea and toast. We had a third of a loaf of bread. He says sure. He brings me tea and one burnt (blackened) piece of toast. I looked at him like he was crazy. I asked him to make me another. He said he couldn't because while he was making me tea and toast, he ate the other 1/3 of the loaf. He literally polished off the ONE thing I can stomach. So, I went hungry. Three hours later, he runs a few errands. He fixes his car, then get grabs a loaf of bread from the store and fixes me toast. I ask for tea to help swallow it down. He says he can't make any because he threw away the last of it since I had refused it earlier. Toast and water for me.

Finally, queue today. Situation has mildly improved. Down to 100. Still puking up everything I swallow. A week of fever. I am beyond weak. Its 11am and there is nothing to eat in the house. I ask him if he'd be willing to go to the store to get kleenex, oj, soup. He said he couldn't right then because he was in the middle of applying for this job. So I patiently waited. Two hours later, hungry, I ask him again. He says he wants to shower first. I got so angry that he decided forgo the shower. I made it clear, I wanted OJ, Kleenex and Clear Soups - chicken noodle, onion etc. He comes back with OJ, Kleenex and chicken/vegetable stock. I asked him where the soup is, and he points to the stock. I ask whether he plans on making that into a soup and he gets mad at me for not thanking him for going to the store and getting stuff. I am livid. I am loving hungry and I'm pregnant and I'm sick. I can't even look at him, I'm so mad. He's currently pouting in the bedroom because I'm "ungrateful."

I can't do this. I'm exhausted. I need help. How do I get what I need?

tl;dr: Pregnant with flu. Can't keep anything down and extremely weak. Husband isn't making an effort caring for me and keeping me fed. He's mad at me that I'm ungrateful for what he has given me. How do I get what I need?
Edit: Some context may be needed. Pleases and thank you's are always used in our family. Also, he is currently in between jobs. There is nothing else that is pressing. Literally nothing else.
Edit 2: Please don't vilify my husband. People don't fall into "all bad" and "all good" categories. There are plenty of things he does do right. There is a mountain of evidence that he is a kind and caring person outside of this particular week. Help me help him give me what I need. What do I need to say (pleases, thankyous and kindness has been used. I have not been militant and demanding.)

How fat is her husband to eat a third of a loaf of bread like 5 minutes.

Wife shouldve spent Xmas in the hospital on IV fluids instead of putting up with her manchild husband. My mom on two separate occasions got food poisoning so bad she had to spend a night in the hospital. No way is she going to soldier her way through Xmas eve while being that miserable.

Husband probably whines like a bitch when he gets so much as a sniffle too.

My[27,F] childhood bully [27,M] got hired at my workplace!!
I was a loner growing up, I had a couple friends but not a lot, and I had no brothers and sisters to protect me. I guess you can say I was a nerd but I liked being nerdy, that was until Jimmy Gibbleson. A freakishly tall jock who was pretty cruel to me through most of middle/high school just because I refused to put his name on OUR project that HE did none of. After that, he would push me around, call me names, he wasn't cruel enough to beat up a girl though, so once he found out I had a crush on this one guy (my first and ONLY high school crush) him and his basketball buddies beat him up and threw him in a trash can. Jimmy told him that it was from me, and I went through high school with no boyfriend or even attention from guys because they were scared. We graduated I moved away to go to college, he went to some local junior college to play basketball, its over it's done with. Nope! A couple weeks ago, my boss,[37,F] introduces me to the new landscape architect "Jimmy" and it is him. He looks the same just with more hair, he asks me what's my name and I tell him my FULL name and he has the nerve to say "nice to meet you" like he doesn't already know me! Everyday since he has gotten here, he's been talking to me, making jokes with me like he just met me, and didn't terrorize me in HS, it makes me sick to my stomach. I try to tell my boss about this, but she's too busy throwing herself at him that she can't even think straight, she drops everything when he calls, and SHE is the boss!! I'm just over him pretending like he doesn't know me, yesterday he asked me what I wanted from Starbucks and I said "nothing" and he said "come on, it's on me" and I just wanted to say "cut the BS ***hole you know who I am, and I know who you are, we don't like each-other" but I calmly ordered my iced hazelnut macchiato like a lady. Is it me?? Am I going crazy?? It's only been 9 years, I know he remembers me. Do anybody agree that he is just trying to play games with me?? Or should I just let it go??
tl;dr: The guy who terrorized me for 5 years now works with me

I had to look up landscape architect because I thought it might just be a fancy title for lawnmower or something. I guess it's a real thing, and according to the BLS statistics for it there are like 23,000 of them. That girl has the worst luck in the world, but I guess she could avoid him forever if she can find a job in literally every other place that doesn't hire his tiny specialty.

Also, yeah, that guy doesn't have any idea who she is

�A new wave of research into bullying�s effects, however, is now suggesting something more than that � that in fact, bullying can leave an indelible imprint on a teen�s brain at a time when it is still growing and developing. Being ostracized by one�s peers, it seems, can throw adolescent hormones even further out of whack, lead to reduced connectivity in the brain, and even sabotage the growth of new neurons.

These neurological scars, it turns out, closely resemble those borne by children who are physically and sexually abused in early childhood. Neuroscientists now know that the human brain continues to grow and change long after the first few years of life. By revealing the internal physiological damage that bullying can do, researchers are recasting it not as merely an unfortunate rite of passage but as a serious form of childhood trauma."

It really does suck that she was bullied, but if this guy is trying to be nice she should accept it, and when they are alone she can calmly ask him if he remembers her. There is a chance that he does, but he doesn't want to be like, "remember that time I tormented you in the past?" while at the work place. He can apologize then.
