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!

Dump him when you go home. This is unforgivable. My dh treats me so well when I have a headache and this vile person treated you SO badly when you were quite ill. How are you feeling today?

Let's see how he behaves if he catches it OP. Hope you feel better soon Flowers

🤣🤣🤣
considering I had 2 broken shoulders and pulled all my ligaments & tendons in my chest and legs I done well to even take myself to the toilet the first week, i was meant to have stayed in hospital but I wouldn’t stay, I was advised not to fly 4 weeks after due to swelling and still not able to walk much or use my arms 🤣🤣 swimming was fun

Edited

but you didn’t get yourself on that plane
and you didn’t get down to the pool

weakling!

and crawled on my hands and knees to the hotel

you weakling @BrendaSmall !!

Grammarnut · 30/06/2024 18:37

Dump him when you get home. What a twerp! It's not your fault you are ill. And why did he not do the phoning and emailing re luggage - or at least help?

I was in hospital for two weeks, my husband came to see me three times. I was told that he wasn't coming because of thebtraffic, it was too busy. Eight years later it still upsets me. Think about your future I am still with my husband, married nearly 30 years,but it is very difficult.

this is a tragedy

Why can't you sit at the pool?

Sit at the pool when you’re feeling ill?

His priority should be you.

However bad the holiday is for him it’s a million times worse for you. How does he know that he hasn’t got Covid and whilst he off at the bar/shop/beech, wherever, that he might pass it on to someone vulnerable. I’d be furious with him. I hope u are feeling better soon. Nothing worse than being sick in a foreign country.

Butterfly212 · 30/06/2024 18:14

We both caught COVID 2 days into our holiday felt awful but dosed up and sat by the pool away from the crowds with an umbrella making the most of what we could.hope you Feel better soon!

@SoupDragon I'm not well!! I have a fever and am aching from head to toe! I don't want to move out of bed to sit in 30 degree heat.

I’m sorry you are feeling so ill. Your husband is being an arse. He should be popping up to you from time to time with cold drinks and ice cream. I hope you start feeling better soon 💐

We had to cancel the holiday that was 3 days after my accident, the one we had booked 4 weeks after we went on 🤣

you weakling @BrendaSmall !!

nearlymrs · 30/06/2024 18:04

I've had covid three times and each time I've felt horrendous. At least 48 hours stuck in bed, aching all over, fever, chills etc- even when dosed up. There's no way I'd have been able to drag myself to sit in the sun! I'm sorry your holiday has been ruined and that your husband is being a git!

MrsPositivity1 · 30/06/2024 17:56

@AmbTurn thats just awful. This latest strain appears to be awful. Hopefully you feel better very quickly

surprised you didn’t still go 😆

thankfully @BrendaSmall has shuffled off

BrendaSmall · 30/06/2024 06:53

Yesi would be outside at home!
yes I’ve been so ill I’ve literally felt like staying in bed but I didn’t as I’d rather be up and about sitting with my doors open getting fresh air

So no, you’ve never been so ill that you’ve been bedbound.

when you are that ill it’s not a choice

Scruffily · 30/06/2024 13:50

I do hope his mum told him to grow the fuck up when he texted her. That's the sort of response my sons would get if they tried that one on.

Scruffily · 30/06/2024 13:41

BrendaSmall · 29/06/2024 18:28

Yes!
some of us got no choice and if I was on holiday I definitely would wouldn’t be spending it in the room no matter how ill I felt!!

That is possibly one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on MN.

sleepyscientist · 30/06/2024 13:38

@BoneChinaPlate you can buy drugs over the counter in most countries to control D&V to be honest for us it usually only lasts a couple of hours anyway 12-24hrs after that of a liquid diet and we usually feel fine. Would flop on the balcony or by the swim up if we have one. Just make sure a toilet is within easy reach.

Purpleday1 · 30/06/2024 13:34

Ringing his mummy🤢🤮.

Get well OP, get organised, and get away from this nasty twat.

Do the www.freedomprogramme.co.uk because you definitely need to build self-esteem and respect for yourself.

He is a horror.

Just love how he rang his mummy to complain. What a man. I really hope he gets it when you get back. (Although I suspect his mummy will be round with soup and sweeties for her pwecious baybee)

BrendaSmall · 30/06/2024 06:57

I’ve literally been so ill I’ve had to crawl down stairs, I’d rather be in the lounge getting fresh air than cooped up in a bedroom,
if in a hotel, the aircon isn’t going to be doing anyone any good, so it’s better to be outside

In the searing heat? That’ll work! Hot weather makes me feel ill when I’m well, I definitely couldn’t tolerate it when I am ill. Perish the thought!

NippyCrab · 30/06/2024 11:29

Morning @AmbTurn there are some right dicks on here ffs! How are you feeling? In 2022 we went away for a week and tested positive the first day, we were really ill like you. My head felt like it was going to explode and nothing would help. I feel for you, the only thing I can say is I hope your DH gets it and then understands how ill you are. If you are vomiting can you get a Dr from the hotel to make a visit to you? Hugs xx
