AITAH for wanting to leave my (32F) husband (38M) because I can't deal with the weaponized incompetence anymore?

If there's one thing I hate, it's when men are sick. It's such a pet peeve because they become completely helpless like little babies. They never try to make themselves better, and they can barely even verbalize what their symptoms are. My ex would always say, “my head feels foggy.” Sorry babe, that's not being sick, you're just stupid.

Not sure he's weaponizing his incompetence. He's just incompetent.

Woman fed up with incompetent husband after he feigns illness to get out of taking their son to the doctor, she contemplates divorce but he accuses her of being too harsh
Marriage isn't a straight and narrow path for any couple. There are bad times, fights, even contemplations about divorce. A forever relationship takes immense time, effort, empathy and communication to grow and succeed in the long run. Without mutual support of each other, there's bound to be someone left in the relationship who isn't fully happy there, and may consider leaving.
It's a timeless tale and stereotype of men when they become sick. They could be your knight in shining armor, your fighter, your life support and provider, but the second they get sick they tend to turn into babies. They lay in bed moaning and crying how sick they are, and when you ask them what their symptoms are they have no answer. Real illness, or just want attention?
In the story below it centers around a woman who's fed up with her husband's incompetence. The nail on the head hit when he refused to take the kids to school or appointments, but went grocery shopping and cleaned the house instead. I would also probably consider divorce if I felt like my partner wasn't taking accountability.
