attention seeking husband

not really looking for advice but wanted a rant really, My husband has really peed me off this evening, I don't know if he needs help or what.....
we have had a good day, both off work I did a bit of painting the kids were at nursery he did his bits and bobs, we had mac donalds tonight as i was feeling lazy everything was fine then when we got home I said to DH would u like to watch our son (he was on the potty) or get their jim jams he said he would go get jim jams, 10 mins later he was still upstairs so I shouted up where he had got to at this point I had already undressed DS waiting to get him ready for bed, I shouted up again asking what the hold up was no answer, when i got up there he was face down on the landing and wouldn't answer me, now if I thought he was being real I would have been worried but over the years he has done this kind of thing countless times but this time it really hurt, my dad was very ill before christmas, I went and stayed with him for a few nights while he wasn't himself, one night I heard him kicking his bedroom door he was laying on the floor and could hardly breath it was a very scary time for me it turned out he had legionella pneumonia, he picked it up on holiday and ended up in intensive care on a ventilator, My husband had 2 teeth out last week and I was there for him I let him go to bed, brought him up drinks pain killers etc changed his sheets when he got blood all over them but hes still going on about his mouth, hes always saying hes ill and when I don't believe him he starts a row but when its something all the time its hard to believe. We have 2 kids and Im starting to wonder if he feels he doesn't get enough attention

Watch last week's Waking the Dead and then kick him out. People who do that sort of thing should not be around children.0

well he hasn't started shaving his head yet and I will be keeping an eye on the warm drinks he gives the kids lol0

seriously tho he wouldn't do anything to the kids to get attention its just him acting like a big baby all the time0

He didn't think it was funny got up in the end and said his head was hurting and what happened, I said you were f*cking about on the landing and I have had enough of it.0

Was he just pretending to have passed out then? Bizarre. Do your kids ever see daddy acting so strange and question it?0

He's trying to get an extreme emotional reaction out of you. Now he might not hurt the kids directly (in your mind) but how do you think a five year old would cope in the same situation?
It's seems to me that you're making excuses for him.0 -
Totally bizarre...... I just dont get this type of thing! He def didnt pass out? I would give VERY short thrift to this kind of behaviour - a hubby is not a child to be babied; you have enough to do Im sure.Light Bulb Moment - 11th Nov 2004 - Debt Free Day - 25th Mar 2011 :j0
