My boyfriend is currently down with the dreaded lurgy. He has had it for nearly a week now and is saying that he still doesn’t feel any better.
I’ve asked him every day how he’s feeling. I’ve bought him food and flu tablets and have just generally been trying to look after him.
I texted him yesterday saying that I felt down about something that had happened and could do with a hug.
I haven’t had a response. On its own I would probably just assume that he’s not feeling well but he was out until midnight for his works party on Friday night and was working in his garage with his brother all day yesterday.
He has also recently said to me that he likes to have the upper hand in relationships and that he went wrong when he let one of his exes have the upper hand by chasing her.
I’m starting to think that I will never get the support from him that I want. But I just wanted to check people didn’t think I was being needy by expecting even a quick message back in nearly 24 hours.
