[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op and just wanted to add: I meant to say that doing the chores ahead of time is so I can recover in a pleasant environment. I have no expectation that he’ll care for the house while I’m out of commission, but he won’t even care for that part of it that will affect me.

I don’t care if the house gets dirty, but I hate the idea that I’ll be caring for a pretty nasty incision/wound and trying to prevent infection in a bathroom that he won’t bother to keep up, I’ll run out of clean comfortable clothing, I’ll be hungry because he doesn’t feel like bringing food upstairs yet again, or out of water or sleeping in sweaty sheets unless I beg for a water bottle refill or clean bedding. Cleaners and meal kits are great, but will only help DH and my kid, not me.

There are things that I think a person who is in pain medication and has fresh stitches shouldn’t have to ask for in real time and can’t hire out. The stuff I can’t outsource is precisely what DH won’t do.[/quote]

You’re saying that if you ask him to bring you [b]a bottle of water[/b], he would say no? Or that if you ask him to bring you a bowl of soup, and all he has to do is open the can, pour it in a bowl and microwave it, he’d say no, get it yourself? (I resisted the urge to say “no soup for you.”) That’s cold. Is he making you uber home from the hospital? I’ve never recommended divorce but this isn’t normal.

Where will the incision be? [/quote]

Who the hell drinks bottled of water in their own home? Think of the environment—get a filter. Jeez.[/quote]
