I have a cough not Covid related it had almost gone but last night it got slightly worse and was to late for me to even go home. I was at my boyfriends already when it got a bit worse but I took cough syrup had a hot drink and went to bed. Both partner and I are light sleepers and I’ve woken myself up with coughs in the past. We went to bed at 11 last night and flat mate wasn’t home. This morning he’s at home and boyfriend isn’t I was coughing slightly and then I get a text from boyfriend Saying I kept flat mate up all night with my coughing. I’ve cut my weekend short and will be going Home today. Flat mate has a few issues with me staying over in the early days although he is my partners best friend and my partner owns the flat. Aibu to think he’s said I kept him up after hearing me cough this morning so I go home for the weekend I was planning on staying Thursday to Saturday I’m also annoyed my cough has come back

It’s possible but you don’t really have any way of knowing. Can your boyfriend come back and stay at yours instead til you’re better?

Coughing's a reflex, so possible to do in your sleep. A bout of coughing would probably wake you up, but you might just go back to sleep and not remember. If your BF's a light sleeper, he wouldn't have noticed.

Has the BF asked you to leave? I understand the housemate's annoyance, but people cough. It could be your BF with the cough and flatmate would have to deal with it.

Could the flatmate be worried about you having covid? Maybe that's why they want you gone. Or are they aware that it's not covid related?

It could be either but if you're causing him issues in his own home it's understandable he's not happy about it - whether he's exaggerated or not

If he feels irritated at you being there at all then anything like coughing is going to amplify that feeling.

Your boyfriend hasn't actually said you have to go home has he?

Boyfriend didn’t say I should go home I did I said I’ll go home as I don’t think it’s fair on your flat mate incase it happens again I’ll go home and see you on the weekend at mine instead
