Holiday Nightmare!

AIBU here?

We have come away the two of us for 10 days. Had a bit of a nightmare the first 3 days as our cases didn't come on the plane with us, they turned up 3 days later so I spent the first 3 days on the phone emailing etc.

Anyway, cases did turn up on day 3! Great let's get on with enjoying the holiday.

Thursday afternoon all of a sudden I felt I had been hit by a bus. I woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever and aching from head to toe. Ended up in bed all day yesterday because I felt so bad.

Managed to get up today and get to the chemist as I knew it was more than a cold. The chemist gave me some stuff for the flu and a Covid test. Top and bottom of it is, I've tested positive for Covid hence the reason why I feel horrendous.

Partner seems really pissed off. Hardly speaking to me! That's the vibe I'm getting. He went to the adult only pool yesterday until 6pm as I told him pointless sitting in the room with me.

Today after I got the positive test he's annoyed again. Saying well I have to spend the holiday on my own! Didn't ask how I was feeling or any regard for the fact I feel horrendous with a temperature and I'm wasting my holiday stuck in bed in the room.

At least he can go out round the pool in the sun! AIBU in thinking he's being a bit selfish in just thinking of himself? It's really getting on my nerves!

Is he usually ok when you're poorly or can he be a bit of a git? Maybe he's just disappointed it's happened on holiday if he's normally not like this.

Sorry you're feeling rough. Rest and plenty of fluids Flowers

why did you take the covid test? i’m guessing you’re not isolating and still getting food from the hotel buffet?

I said to the chemist I'm not sure if it's Covid so she gave me a test to take!

No I have had a takeaway pizza in the room last night but only tested positive today!

Could you claim on your insurance and just come home? Try again another time.

You might feel well enough tom to sit by the pool or bar, hopefully.

MonsteraMama · 29/06/2024 12:05

Oh poor you, that's so crap! What awful timing.

Yes he's being a dick. Of course he's disappointed, as I'm sure you are, but being pouty and sulky about it rather than showing a modicum of sympathy is horribly unattractive. Does he think you got sick on purpose?

Most people grow out of throwing their toys out of the pram over minor inconveniences by adulthood.

I suspect he's just disappointed and not dealing with it in the right way.

I mean, it's shit. It's disappointing when you've saved up for and been looking forward to your rare holidays, and something happens to spoil it. It's a shame you have covid, but it's also disappointing for him that his holiday isn't going as planned. He's also possibly going to get it from you later in his holiday, which can't be a nice thought. These things happen though, so both have a sleep and then communicate.

Because she has a fever and can't get out of bed?
