So I have been poorly on and off for few weeks either sickness bug or cold/flu…So few days ago I started being poorly. (Again!). sore throat headache generally not well
told my partner he said oh you will be fine but I made a drs appointment after I had worse reflux and was being sick all night in agony..
Took my 4 yr old daughter with me as he was at work, the dr told me I had a nasty chest infection I needed to rest drink plenty ect and put me on antibiotics ..
told my partner he said oh right - that’s it
he was going to help out that evening at a local club he does and I asked him to stay at home as I was feeling so rubbish didn’t feel I could look after myself let alone my 4 year old as well. His reply was “ but I really want to go got loads to sort” so I just thought you know what whatever..
I did a Covid test as I had just had some delivered it of course was positive. 😔
the next day so poorly I’ve had Covid before but never like this I told other half how bad I felt he said “oh well you just got to get on with it!” He came home from work and went out again granted he took little one but came home in foul mood had ago at me about state of house in which I replied I suppose you don’t care that much but I am f ill I feel absolutely awful and you couldn’t give a a s*! He had no reply! I was up most that night banging head ache pains
today I wake up again head banging feeling sick in tears as I just don’t know what to do with myself and he asked for a kiss as he was of out to club for the day.. I ignored him and he’s gone out for the day …
so I guess my question is am I being unreasonable? Am I being selfish? Like I feel in disbelief that I’m actually questioning myself! We live with my parents house and they live next door in a nice static caravan they who are 65 & 70 have been trying to look after me even went got some shopping yesterday as we had nothing in! .. other half has a house that he’s doing up to eventually sell and right now I feel like packing his stuff and sending him there.. I just feel so alone

Thank goodness you have your parents. I would talk to your partner first, he sounds shit but he might just be rubbish around illness. If he's good the rest of the time it might not be worth chucking him out.

But...I would still be making myself as financially secure within the relationship as I could, he doesn't sound great

Theimpossiblegirl · 02/09/2023 09:09

Oh, and sorry you feel so ill. The fact he wanted a kiss makes me think he doesn't realise how ill you are, or thinks Covid is just a mild cold now.

Sounds pretty shit. I'd bide your time and slowly detach financially to make sure you and your child are sorted.

Janieforever · 02/09/2023 10:33

I’m not sure what I’m reading. Why are you still with him. Not being a brill partner is the understatement of the year.

Surely he has been exposed to covid now and is probably in the shedding the virus to everyone he comes in contact with stage? He sounds like a pig, I'd be asking him to leave asap. Wouldn't have your parent around to much the last thing you'd want is them being exposed to a heavy viral load.

So sorry for you op. He’s not going to change. Hope you feel better soon.

OP you really don't need to put up with this. Why do you ?

You've got your own home and supportive parents.
Throw the fucker out.

Absolutely not in the wrong. I'm also really poorly in bed at the moment and my husband has done absolutely everything round the house and for our toddler. There's not a chance in hell he would have a go at me for the state of the house. That's what being a supportive partner is like and that is what you deserve OP.
