For not wanting to kiss my husband with a cold?

I posted a thread this morning about how we were meant to go away for two nights but he has a cold and didn't want to go.
Anyway at first I was a bit annoyed as I had been looking forward to going.
Anyway changed it for next week.

Since Friday he has been acting like he is dying.
I've made him cups of tea ,lemsips,gave him the blanket to keep warm.
This morning I got up made him a cup of tea/another lemsip.

He's been quite nasty because he asked for a kiss and I said that I would kiss his head instead.
I don't want to catch the cold
I'm at my dads every day and his 83 so don't want to pass anything on (even tho to my hubby it's a mild cold )

He then moved to my side of the bed and lay on my pillow snotting about.
I said I didn't want to catch his cold and could he just cover his mouth and lie on his side just incase .

He went off it
I will just look after myself
I don't need any help from nobody
You don't look after me
What more does he want me to do?
He's refusing to leave the bedroom because I "haven't looked after him "
I took him so mash and gravy up and he said "why have you made that,I don't want anything from you"

He's just being nasty
Was I wrong to say no kiss ?

Why are you bothering with this absolute baby of a man!

You should have gone on the weekend away on your own and just left him to wallow.

My ex used to make sure, somehow or other, he would give me any cold or whatever else he was suffering from. He was abusive in other ways too. And would also take great offence when I tried to take steps to protect myself and those around me.

I haven't read your other thread but this guy sounds like he must be causing you a fair bit of angst @railingsdown Flowers

Oh yuck. He sounds like an absolute man-child! And fucking nasty to boot!

I can't be arsed with this man-flu business. DH doesn't do it, so when he does get properly ill I absolutely will give him a kiss and a fuss. My mentality is that I'll probably catch it anyway, plus he'd kiss and cuddle me if I was unwell.

BUT in your scenario, absolutely not. I wouldn't even be able to sit next to him. What a big baby.

Honestly what a dick. Just cringey appalling behaviour. Ick.

Why didn't you just update your earlier thread instead of starting another

railingsdown · 15/09/2024 16:27

@Idontjetwashthefucker I didn't think there was a rule that I couldn't start another thread

Is this your husband?

Skyrainlight · 15/09/2024 16:32

You weren't wrong. He sounds like a deeply unpleasant person. If you haven't had kids with him don't, I would be planning an exit strategy from the relationship.

@railingsdown
Maybe secretly change the pillow case later?
Men are not good patients, I'm sure he'll come round x

I once got the flu when we were on holiday. My husband still expected us to have sex. I was horribly ill, shaking with fever. A proper flu, he literally thought I'd be up for it. 😂
But he didt take the hump when I turned him down. Your husband sounds like a massive baby.

BCBird · 15/09/2024 20:27

I'm in agreement with you OP.
He is an idiot.

Branleuse · 15/09/2024 20:45

Tell him hes an evil bastard, and that youre shocked that he literally wants to snot on your pillow in the hope that you become infected with his plague. Its one thing to accidentally get it, but hes being weird and mean and gross. Has he done a COVID test?
