Was I BU? I feel bad.
I’ve had Covid (has given me PTSD from previous hospitalised pneumonia). Awful symptoms. I’ve had the kids for 5 days as DH working and helping his parent. He’s been doing more chores the last day or two which is great as he knew I was struggling. He really pulls his weight anyway.
Yesterday he asked me if I wanted to play cricket with the kids in the garden so I could be more included in playing. I was doing the laundry at the time and was really rough and coughing up so much I’d been choking and said I could do with help with the chores first before playing and I can really only do quiet/sit down games. He huffed and appeared hurt. He said you’re saying I’m not helping and I’ve been helping you loads recently. I said can’t you tell running around in the garden might not be something I’m up to at the moment? He said he had no idea I still felt rough. I’ve tested negative but I still look awful. I wish I’d just said not now thanks but it turned into me being cross with him.
We are OK now. It was more of a misunderstanding with him meaning to do something nice but completely misreading the room? I argued with him but I’m exhausted and emotional with being ill and I didn’t want to be huffed at for saying no to something he was suggesting that was so off the mark.
