Norovirus and partner in a strop

[lonelypolarbear]

Hello all
Sod’s Law, it’s half term and I’ve been given a bout of Norovirus and have been feeling awful. Partner is home from working away and has got the hump with me, because in the midst of stomach cramps, a banging head, frequent trips to the bathroom etc, he starts asking if he should go and wash my car and what shall he make for dinner and other random questions. Funnily enough I don’t care, I’m poorly, I feel rough as anything so please just take the reins and carry on for me. But no, because I shouted at him that I didn’t care, he’s now being frosty, giving no warmth or comfort and is in a mood because I responded to his pointless questions the way I did. AIBU as right now alarm bells are ringing that I’m not in the right relationship?

Are you in bed?

My XH was always a dick when I was ill. I realised the only way to deal with it was to properly take to my bed and stay there until completely recovered. If I lay on the sofa, he assumed I was fine.

Go to bed. Tell him to leave you to it.

It’s not nice being poorly but it sounds like he was trying to be helpful and got shouted at- I wouldn’t be particularly “warm” after that?

Yes I’ve been in bed most of the day, went downstairs for about an hour but was freezing and just needed my bed again. He doesn’t get it, he wants me to eat, and right now there’s no food in the world that makes me want to eat anything, so he sees it that I’m not helping myself get better 😫
