My husband broke his arm...?

...and is treating me badly. He's usually pretty good at making me feel like a total loser anyway, but now that his arm is broken and he's in a good bit of pain, he's really going the extra mile and making me feel like a piece of garbage.

He tells me that I'm no help, that I'm doing everything wrong, etc.

What can I do to get through the next few months?

Update:

As for "seeing what it feels like to have a broken arm" and "getting his mother to take care of him- if he was just whiny, I could deal with that. It's the hurtful comments that are getting to be too much.

Besides, I've had two kids with no medication, so, while that might not be the same as a broken arm, I think I know a little bit about pain. To top it off, I didn't treat him like garbage when I felt bad.

    Tell him that the only thing that sucks worse than him having a broken arm is his attitude. Yes, he may be in pain and feeling poorly, but that doesn't give him the right to take it all out on you.

    Okay so hubby usually makes you feel like a piece of garbage, even when he's not all banged up.

    So....WHY exactly do you tolerate this treatment from him? A relationship is not supposed to make you feel like garbage. And I would suggest you think long and hard about what kind of treatment you deserve in a relationship before taking care of him

    Tell him this is a challenge for him to see how much he can handle with a cast on one arm. Get out of the house, do as little as possible for him. Tell him everything you do for him while his arm is in the cast must be repaid. Call him a whiny baby.

    Here's some good advice. Just sit back and watch him in agony and show him how much of a "piece of garbage" you are now....why do you care?

    Let him practice getting by in life only using one arm. Hopefully he'll appreciate you more by the time the other one heals.

    The man's in pain and wants a little babyingg, if you can't do it ask his mother to come take care of him.

    You are in a controlling relationship. It is obvious that you have a lack of self esteem and he is making you dependent on him. It is working so far. As long as you remain in this situation, it will never change.

    Stop catering to him for just one day and explain to him why you are doing that. His attitude could change in a quick hurry. You don't deserve that treatment so why tolerate it?

    Stuff a sock in his mouth, seriously. Tell him that if he doesn't stop treating you like sh*t you won't do anything for him at all. He needs to respect you, don't do anything for him until he does. He treats you that way because you let him.
