Would you have expected DP to have checked by now?

Been together 10 years (don't live together). Told him I had tested positive for covid early evening yesterday. His reply was 'I hope you don't feel too ill with it'.

Not a dickie bird from him since. No 'just checking your night wasn't too bad'/'how are you feeling today?'/'have you everything you need?'. Nothing.

Am I expecting too much here? I've been feeling for a while that he takes me for granted/is just not that into me anymore and I'm starting to read his silence as just one more sign of lacking care and affection.

I feel absolutely dreadful, had an awful night and had to come back to bed all this morning which is so unlike me. Prepared to accept I'm unjustifiably just feeling sorry for myself here but I know I would have checked him if the tables were turned.

You haven't offered a difference of opinion. You implied the OP was in the wrong for not texting back. You might like to be treated like your partner doesn't give a shit about you but the OP hasnt said that. If my bloke was ill and hadn't text me back I would follow it up out of concern. Anyone normal would.

Haha yeah because I asked a reasonable question I obviously like to be treated badly. Grow up. I asked why she didn't message him back. I didn't imply anything. OP could have messaged him back and explained she wasn't feeling well. Maybe he was busy yesterday at that time. Maybe he isn't interested, in which case the OP and him need to have a conversation. Either way, she's better off texting him to express how she feels, than ignoring a message and complaining he hasn't messaged again.

Does the 17 in your user name equate to your IQ?

Ffs I shouldn't laugh but I did
