Or is he behaving like an arse

Feeling ill this evening with a virus. BF not exactly being overly sensitive to the fact , which is not unusual for him tbh. Doesn't live with me and I face timed him, he went and put the tv on and sat watching it! So as I was sat there looking a right lemon I said " I'll go and let you watch your programme" he said " no it's ok" and turned tv off but was obviously arsey about it and we ended up arguing and him saying "hang up then"

So to me it looks like he didn't really want to talk in the first place. I'm also hurt he doesn't appear to give a shit I feel I'll!! Feel better for offloading thanks for reading

Why on earth is he your boyfriend?!

Has he any redeeming features?

Stelmosfire · 12/03/2013 21:02

RANDOM at times like this I ask myself the same thing!

I don't think I ever had a boyfriend be that insensitive (although one came close) but one of the many reasons why my lovely DH became my DH was that whenever I was ill, he'd come to my house and look after me. If I was so ill (suffer from migraines) that I wanted to lie in the dark, he'd lie next to me.

Seriously, you can't have a future with someone who is like that. Sorry....

Yes he has redeeming features, most of the time is very attentive. Just if I get moody or say something he perceives as " having a go " at him he reacts like this. Childish really but mostly the good outweighs the bad. I feel I'll tonight so it's pissed me off

Actually the more I mull it over I feel like he only wants the good bits of me but I'm only human and can't be nice all the time.

Just heard from him, a txt saying he loves me but I can be an ass when I'm ill. I said he can be insensitive when I'm ill !

Not a keeper, is he.

Well my DH hasn't exactly been a model nurse to me this weekend but turns out he was really stressed about something - there may be mitigating circumstances. However my DH while lovely in every way is one of those blokes who is just in his own world. So might not notice that more TLC is required unless specifically asked.

I think you should have told him that he can be an ass when you're ill....

Relationships really don't work if it is only for the good bits resists reciting marriage vows

Stelmosfire · 12/03/2013 22:42

Hmmm I told him he's insensitive and I'm only human and can't be perfect all the time. He just replied neither can he. He has just phoned to say goodnight. I think he's totally missing the point!!
