Holiday Nightmare!

[AmbTurn]

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!

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

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!

I would have dragged myself to the airport
and crawled on my hands and knees to the hotel

you weakling @BrendaSmall !!

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 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!

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.

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.

Sit at the pool when you’re feeling ill?

this is a tragedy

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?

🤣🤣🤣
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

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

weakling!

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

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?

Whether they were with you or not?

Did you not point out that he hasn't bothered with food or drink for you?

30° isn't fresh air in my book!

I would be in bed with those symptoms too

There's nothing comfortable about a sunbed

I really hope the husband gets it as soon as he's home

And I hope the OP goes out for the week and leaves him alone

What a horrible man

Wait until he catches it then you can get your revenge 😏

I feel so bad for you OP. I am sorry but your hubby doesn’t sound very nice or caring! It is irresponsible of him to have gone out and left you alone with no way to contact him when you are feeling so unwell, and to be so far away from home too. I hope you are ok. Sending get well soon vibes xxx

Sorry you’re not well but he didnt take his phone to the beach because he probably wanted to swim in sea.

why does he need to check on you?

He isn’t being fair but neither are you

The original post says just two of them on holiday

Firstly, she said she's really not well, and secondly, she's clearly not as inconsiderate as whoever she caught it from!

Absolutely not being unreasonable. I’m astounded how many people are telling you to go and sit by the pool when you’re feeling so poorly, wtaf??? It’s your holiday too, you didn’t get ill on purpose, wanting a little kindness and compassion from your husband wasn’t too much to ask and tbh feeling sorry for someone you love when they feel like shit comes naturally to most of us! It’s a crap situation all round but he’s made it entirely about him, is he usually this self-centred? As for all the people who are telling you to drag yourself out and sit in the sun when you feel so ill, not to mention potentially spreading the illness further, ignore them completely, total idiots! I’m so sorry OP, you must feel so alone 💐

Why are you still with him? I ended my marriage after 30 years. That was 16-years-ago and I have been so much happier since then. I didn’t expect to ever want another serious relationship, but I met a great guy shortly after. Things blossomed. We have been married 9-years now and we are each others first priority.
