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!

Oh no that's shit. Got covid at easter from plane back from hols. Sooo ill, I can sympathise, in fact am just in last stage of recovery.

Can you claim on travel ins fly back early?? Most policies will cover this.

He sounds awful. Next time he is ill - do same.

really can’t say i’m interested tbh in your views re when to panda to men

When my son was a teenager struggling with anger issues I figured out how to give him space to calm down and later he would admit to being out of order. He has grown up into a very calm and thoughtful man who looks out for his disabled sister.

completely different to your grown assed adult husband

Of course it's your fault for going out and purposely catching covid! Is he always thos awful? I'm so sorry, covid I'd awful and you should not have to deal with his behavior. Rest up as much as you can and after have a good think on what kind of partner he truly is

@Doubledded123 He sounds awful. Next time he is ill - do same.

what a thoroughly shite way to live

People are really underestimating this new strain of Covid. I’ve been ill for two weeks. It’s absolutely vile. Sorry it’s wrecked your holiday

He has shown you who he is and how he feels about you.

LTB 💐

The poor girl has already said she feels like shit and has a fever can't imagine her wanting to sit by a pool in the sun or even the shade.

They say holidays are the test of a relationship - well being ill is even more so. He's shown you you can't rely on him in a crisis and that he's selfish, sulky and useless.
Bin him when you get back. Don't forget his treatment of you here.

Exactly.

Ah, you're married. How has he been when you've been ill in the past? Must be out of character or you wouldn't be posting about it? I hope so at least.

YANBU. He is being a selfish dick. Do please get some medication for your fever though and take it religiously - then you won't feel quite so horrendous. Hopefully, within a day or two you'll be feeling better and able to get on and enjoy your holiday, but bloody hell, if my DH behaved like that when I was ill on our last holiday (could've been Covid - I didn't test - but it was a horrendous coldy/fevery thing), I'd have been really pissed off. No one wants to be ill on holiday! No one does it on purpose! FFS. As the one who isn't ill, you just make the best of it and get food/drink/meds/whatever for your ailing OH and hope they recover quickly.

I really hope the berk catches it too. He's bloody horrible and a man child. I'd be furious and let him have it with both barrels once you get home. Speedy recovery to you op x

It's outside. Just keep a distance from others

Some people feel really ill with covid. I know I did. Sitting round a pool
would have been the last thing I would have wanted to do with fever and
chills and raspy sore throat.

Any initial disappointment should have faded by now.
He's not a nice person, op. I'd leave someone like that, who wants to grow old with such an uncaring arsehole?

I see there are a number of 'it's just a cold' covid deniers are here.

For some people, 'it's just a cold' or like a cold. I was lucky to be one of those people.

For others, it does indeed feel like they've been hit by a bus and many have long term issues as a result. I know people who were unlucky enough to be come of those people.

Sorry you feel like crap, OP. Your husband is being a selfish twat if he thinks behaviour that appears to 'blame you' for falling ill is your fault. I'd have to think about how I felt about him after that.

What would make you assume that?

I got German Measles on honeymoon, my DH asked if I'm always so spotty! He was not at all sympathetic, but really didn't understand I was really ill. I guessed what it was and said we had to go home because I would be contagious. We were driving in the UK B&Bing so went home. Of course a few days later DH got it really badly of course, much worse than me. To cap it all after we recovered we went to a friends house parked outside and left my pretty ancient camera with all my honeymoon pictures (such as they were) on it and someone robbed the car and stole it. We survived.

He's just sent a text to his mum saying work hard all year just to chuck money away!

When I pulled him on it, he said the first 3 days were ruined by the luggage! I said you can't predict someone is going to get ill.

You have married the wrong guy, he needs to be married to @sleepyscientist

A perfect match…unless of course he us sleepyscientist, undercover….😂

The issue with the cases is annoying, but unless there was something critical in there (such as medication or credit cards).

NEVER EVER put stuff like that in your suit case but carry it on you.

Sorry your son is going through this OP but it will be the making of him. Been there, done that.

Oops! Wrong message. A few tabs open....🙄

Hope it all works out for you OP.

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!!

@BrendaSmall I've got a raging temperature body aches headache cough and you wouldn't be in bed! Okay!
Well I'm not about to sit outside around other people who could catch it either

Firstly well done @AmbTurn for getting the luggage sorted out. If I was on holiday with you I would be singing your praises for this. I understand the disappointment, however I would be making sure you have all you need and be looking after you.

I would be keeping my phone on me at all times if I went out and making sure you are okay. Holidays come and go but a loved one is precious and requires taking care of.

I hope you get over your covid infection soon. However take it easy and look after yourself. Don't let him take the card, you need to have access to that.

All the best to you x
