I (40 F) and my husband (44 M) are running a 1/2 marathon in a few weeks time. I feel relatively prepared as I’m a triathlete (training 10 -20 hrs a week for the past year) whereas my husband hasn’t ran at all since signing up a few months ago. My attitude is - his choice to sign up, his choice to prepare for it. I digress…

This morning he asks “do I need a hydration belt for the race”? Background context, I have not looked into the aid/fueling stations as I was planning on being self sufficient, so I answered “I don’t know. As these types of questions are common, I followed up with “what steps have you done to answer your own question?” Then he went off that it was a “Simple question” and I should answer it. I explained that he is adding work onto my plate as that question is rooted in the fact I need to : know the race nutrition stations, know his nutritional needs, his current hydration gear and determine if there is a gap - all of which he is capable of doing himself. His response was I need to get my head out of my a$$ and just to answer the question. I did reply that he shouldn’t be lazy and he can answer his own damn question (not the best response-I know)

So folks, AITA for not answering my husbands “simple question”.
