Holiday Nightmare!

Surely that would put everyone else on the plane at risk of catching covid?

Wow, if my partner treated me like that when I was ill he would be an ex.

Sorry you're feeling so unwell on holiday OP.
Your DH sounds like a total prick.

What does 'just getting on with it' look like? Is no one in your house allowed to rest when they have a fever unless they're hospitalised?

Sorry to hear this OP, from his behaviour I was expecting this to be the first holiday in a new relationship! He is being so uncaring. Dare I ask how your relationship has been over the last 6 months?

I hope you start to feel better soon. Keep up with your fluids, especially important in a hot place.

Fingers crossed that you are able to enjoy the end part of your trip a bit. Definitely a conversation to be had once you arrive home and are feeling better.

@BoneChinaPlate people have different attitude if you don't need A&E in this house you get on with it. Paracetamol/ibi is dosed based on current weight husband pushes is luck a bit further.

OP can you go float around the pool? I find being in the cold pool nice if you don't feel 100%

any children?

In fairness, it doesn't sound like he's been 'nasty' so far. You say he 'seems pissed off' and it's the 'vibe you're getting'. I do have sympathy with you as I've had food poisoning on holiday before and it's shit being ill while you're away.

However, I've also had a holiday that cost a fortune but rained most of the time and my partner got food poisoning, spending 2 or 3 days in bed. It was really shit all round and I'm not sure how well I coped with it. I wasn't nasty, but I WAS pissed off - not with him, just in general.

Are you taking four hourly paracetamol/ibuprofen? That usually brings temperature down. Don't quote me on it but I think you can take both together or alternate if paracetamol doesn't work on its own.

Some people are heavily invested in insisting that covid is 'just a cold' and they don't like it when people point out it can be extremely debilitating.

The current strain going around is supposed to be a distant variant of omicron, and it's supposed to be slightly better at evading our immune system so people are getting quite ill with it. I hope you feel better soon.

Is he usually horrible like this to you though? He sounds like someone who it's quite uncomfortable to be around. Is this what you want for your life?

Take care OP. I hope you feel better soon.

I can only assume we have a few thick men posting and suggesting you can sit in the heat by a pool when you’re feeling very unwell with Covid. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hoping this isn’t a serious relationship because I think you need to dump him when you get home. It’s bad enough being ill but when you’re ill on holiday, he should be stepping up to ensure you’re ok and not whining like a pathetic teenager.

I stupidly stayed with my DP when I was ill on holiday and he was equally unhelpful. He went off exploring for hours on end completely oblivious to my suffering and this was in the days before mobile phones.

Thankfully, he did improve 100% after he suffered from a very serious life threatening condition and appreciated me taking care of him. He’s actually brilliant now, checking in on me and doing stuff, even if I’ve just got a migraine. 😂

How long have you been together? My XH was a total bastard any time I was ill. Is this a taste of what’s to come?

Tell him to get over himself and be a bit kinder.

Oh that's really bad luck.

Covid seems to be ramping up again, despite the vaccines they rolled out.

Hope you recover soon- it must be wretched to be ill abroad , when all one wants is one's own surroundings at home and to be ill in peace.
Planes are hotbeds for infection- You could have contracted it there- and could pass it on on your return.

Air travel seeds these viruses so fast around the World.

No one seems to mask up any more or wash hands like they used to do.

The issue with the cases is annoying, but unless there was something critical in there (such as medication or credit cards) I'd have tried to make the best of it after contacting the airline and bought a few essentials if needed.

The bigger issue is your partner being nasty to you when you are ill. I don't think he's wrong for popping off to the pool and leaving you to get some sleep, but a considerate person would likely pop up and check you, offer to get you some lunch etc (this is what I did when my partner was ill on holiday once).

How long have you been together and how is he normally on holidays? How does he behave when you are ill normally?

People are being really weird about this- when you have a fever and chills the last thing you want to do is sit in 30 degree heat - you want to lie down in bed in a cool, dark room. Getting really hot when you have a fever is not a good idea.

But there are for other illnesses, so why not rule covid out by taking a test (or confirm it and know it's not something that could be treated)

there’s no specific treatment for covid

And?

It's outside. Just keep a distance from others.

Well, I'm guessing that he will soon come down with it so you have a handbook on how to treat him. I'm sorry that you are unwell, hopefully you have something to take the edge off it. Spend the time looking for a replacement holiday, preferably on your own. Maybe you can claim on your insurance? Worth investigating.

Testing isn't all about isolation.

Some people just want to know why they feel unwell so it can be treated accordingly?

Because she has covid
