To think my boyfriend should be more understanding that I’m ill?

I’ve had awful vomiting and diarrhoea since yesterday, I’ve not felt this unwell for a long time. I’ve been at my boyfriend’s flat since Friday, and said to him when I started feeling unwell that I was happy to go back to mine so he didn’t catch anything. He was adamant he was happy for me to stay.

This morning led in bed, I misjudged and there was a small mess on the sheet. He went mental and called me a dirty bitch and said I’d need to clean it straight away.

I was really taken aback and upset, he apologised not long after but I said I wasn’t comfortable staying any longer so went home.

If your partner is ill then you shouldn’t react like this surely?

As have you @Missj25 with this post

Nope … I have not excuse you , merely pointing out OP was asking us was it out of order how her bf spoke to her when she had an accident while sick at his place ..
People were getting side tracked , but not me , I always know what I’m talking about 😂

I was just telling RoseAlone that what she was saying was irrelevant to OPS post , so I didn’t get side tracked actually smarty pants 😂..
And don’t worry no need for an apology, I’m sure you’re sorry 😆

I was just telling you that you have had your post telling off @RoseAlone was also a side track 😆

Edited

I wasn’t telling her off , I was bringing it to her attention..
Technically you may be right , but only if you’re a woman , this is Mumsnet afterall & men are second class citizens here 😆

In that case, I was just bringing it to your attention that your post was also sidetracking 😆

Well I'd have gone home if well enough. I'd also have stripped the bed and stuck it in the washing machine. That should have been enough for him

God I hope he catches it

what? Suggesting that you commenting on the relevancy of a poster’s post is something to do with men and second class citizens?

Nooooooo !
I was saying that if you were a woman saying I got side tracked with my post , ok maybe I’ll admit you might be right , but if you are a man saying it then you’re wrong & I’ll hold to I didn’t get side tracked ..
Sure I was only messing around saying it 🤪

There was a thread similar to this not long ago, only the patient was male and by Christ were the responses different.

You shat on his bed, that is disgusting.

Come on, you had the scutters so you knew you were taking a risk.

No , so listen , I wasn’t saying to RoseAlone she was derailing original post, she gave out to OP for staying at bfs flat when she could make him sick , sure that’s irrelevant, he should never have said what he said to her , makes no odds if she should have gone home or not .. The post was OP asking people’s opinion on how she was spoken to ..

You & I have derailed the thread though 🙈

I'd dump him. Someone calling me a dirty bitch when I'm ill is not someone I'd be willing to have in my life. There are going to be difficult times in relationships where you aren't well and he isn't someone I'd want by my side. Imagine if you were pregnant, have a child making a mess, bleeding through on the sheets, etc. Life can be messy, my husband is a partner, not a prick. Your boyfriend sounds awful.

Missj25 · 20/10/2025 17:48

Question 🙋‍♀️
Why are all Rogerthat14 posts deleted , what was said that was wrong ?
They were replies to my posts to him/ her , not sure if man or woman, but there was nothing said that was wrong????
