How effing nice is *this*?

[GiraffeGotTheLastRoomInTheInn]

I am suffering quite badly from what the doctor today described as 'one of the worst cases of tonsillitis I have EVER seen'.

I feel like I am dying, I haven't eaten ANYTHING for four days and am struggling to swallow my own saliva, let alone drink anything.

And dp has....

wait for it.....

gone to stay with his parents 'so he doesn't catch it', only returning home to collect ironed shirts and (admittedly only once) ask if I could just make him some lunch.

My mum has been helping me out with dd this week, thank goodness, but she is going away tomorrow so i have got to cope with dd all by myself.

So he says to me on the phone tonight

'I'm going climbing straight from work tomorrow.Don't suppose you fancy it, do you? No? Oh well I'll speak to you over the weekend then and see if you're better.'

What f***ng world does he live in?

Do you know, I feel like telling him I am better and ready to give him a celebratory blow job, then when he comes rushing home, give him a big snog, making sure my tonsils come into contact with his....

And then leave him on his own for a fucking week in HIS hour of need.

You'll have to kill him.

Agree - he doesnt deserve to live

The tonsillitis might do that.

It is that bad.

I cannot tell you how angry and upset I am. I feel really abandoned.

And I sound like a geek when I talk becasue my throat is closed up.

bit lost for word . tell him dd will be joining him at his parents for the weekend so you can fully recover, (and so she doesn't get it either)

my ex was like that, he'd always bugger off when i was sick and leave me with the kids

he would have to cook iron wash and clean for himself for at least a whole fucking month before i would even consider accepting a fucking olive branch from him.

have you killed him yet????

OMG

doesn't his Mum have any female solidarity? Why hasn't she told him to get his a**e home to look after his wife?

at him

for you.

git.

Seriously though, he needs something painful to happen to him.

Mild electrocution maybe. Buy a taser and jab him in the nuts with it.

Then tell him you're off out and sling him some calamine lotion for his burnt goolies.

I think she will be doing anyway tbh, I really don't want dd to get this.

I mean, she's not his dd, but it's not really the point.

This has really put a few things into perspective for me, like where I come in the f**g pecking order.

Actually, what really got me was 'don't suppose you fancy going climbing'

Yes, I would love to black out from hunger and pain halfway up a cliff instead of in my own living room.

Let me just take some paracetamol to lower my temperature and grab my harness!

OH AND RIP MY TONSILS OUT< THEY MIGHT HURT LESS THEN!

God, you poor thing

I'll do it for you, happy to oblige

Agree get him to take dd with him, can't believe his selfishness.

Hope you feel much better very soon

G, really hope you feel better very soon. It's so foul having tonsillitis. On the up side, you will be able to say "Zowie" a la redhead in Captain Caveman v convincingly in a couple of days.

I'm actually fairly surprised his mum hasn't sent him packing actually, she normally takes my side in all things

But...haven't spoken to her myself (not having much of a voice atm) so maybe she doesn't really know how ill I am.

I will be ringing tomorrow though to see if she can help me out with dd over the weekend so we will see.

oh you poor thing
do you have an abcess as well by any chance? - thinking of the not being able to swallow saliva thing. when I had tonsilitis and quinsy, I reckon it hurt way more than childbirth!

hope you feel better soon. Perhaps you need to speak to his mum and get her firmly onside. The git

just change the locks

lol

hunker, i am actually feeling a lot better the last hour or so (hence mumsnet interest and ability to type, albeit on a laptop in bed)

Still can't swallow ANYTHING but at least am not shivering.

Gosh, he really is selfish, isn't he?

This might actually be the last straw in his selfishness haystack.

Giraffe you have been abandoned in a literal sense.

this is mindblowing!!!

yeah, I think I might have an abcess tbh, I have had tonsillitis before many times, but never never before have I had to let my saliva build up until my mouth is full just to reduce the amount of times I have to swallow

sorry if tmi

It's not as if he doesn't realise how ill I am either, he has seen me in passing several times when he has come to collect shirts etc, huddled under the covers shivering (and he opened the window saying it smelt of 'ill')

God, I'm making him out to be a right bastard aren't I?

Strike that from the record, he IS a bastard.

The truth is ugly.

We will be having words when I am better.

it sounds like an abcess then TBH, I was just like that. Probably the worst thing I've ever had - many, many sympathies.

He's not coming out of this too well, I have to say...

Is he usually good? Nice to be around? Caring?

Otherwise, bang him on his arse and find someone who deserves you, sweet.
