My husband ignores my safety

I broke two ribs one morning in a horse accident and my DH didn’t react. We went to a brunch an hour later. I was in a lot of pain and finally said I had to leave. He was surprised. He was less surprised when I went to immediate care the next day and got Xrays.

Is he bad and uncaring? Of course not, it was up to me to explain, in words, what I felt and needed from him. Any old “distress” could be a stubbed toe or hit funny bone. What do you want, him to rush in and sob over your pump knot?

Why can't she just want him to say, "Hey, honey, are you okay?" I mean, that seems like the absolute minimum. If I heard a loud bang and someone cry out in pain in the office next to mine, I would, at least, call out, "Hey, coworker, you alright?" Like, who are these people who simply do not acknowledge stuff like this? If OP was complaining that her husband didn't make a huge fuss and bring her breakfast in bed because she bumped her head, okay, fine, she's too dramatic. But thinking that someone you live with should care, at least a little, about your physical well-being doesn't seem so unreasonable.

Meh. Some of us don't want people running to check on us every time we get a boo-boo or drop something. If I need you, I'll call you.

If you hear a loud crash and scream in your house, you don't check it out?

Crash and G-D It!, No. (somebody dropped something most likely) Crash and silence, gets a look since someone might be incapacitated. Crash and call for help gets help. Generally, if you scream, you are not incapacitated and can follow up with a request if you need help.

Yes, keep up please.

Then marry amongst yourselves and spare the rest of us.

Nah, I just draw my pistol and shoot through the wall in the direction the scream came from.
