Does your dp blame you when they're ill?

[cosmicsweets]

I'm getting a bit fed up of this now as every time dp becomes ill it's my fault.

When he has a sickness bug it's because I haven't cleaned the bathroom properly or the dc haven't washed hands enough.

When he has a cold it's because I left the window open all night two weeks ago

When his hayfever flares up it's because I didn't iron the bedding enough to kill the pollen.

It's always my fault apparently.

Anyone else get blamed for partners illnesses or is mine just an idiot?

Yours is just an idiot.

Yours is an idiot

Pollen isn't alive. You don't kill it by ironing it.

No, of course not!
Why are you with him?

Never heard anything so ridiculous. Tell him to clean the bathroom himself if he’s so worried. Ironing bedding for hay fever is that a thing?! I wouldn’t know as I’ve never ironed bedding in my life!

Eh? No, of course not - because he's sane!

Bugs exist in the world (Covid, anyone?) and they're part of life. If your DP feels the bathroom isn't clean enough or the hygiene standards in your home are insufficient presumably he knows where the cleaning products live? Assuming you don't go around deliberately coughing/sneezing on him, he's being ridiculous!

Couldn’t live with such a moany hole.

Why is he not pulling his weight with the ironing/childcare/bathroom cleaning?

He's an idiot - and I bet you could find better things to do than ironing the bedding. He could do it himself perhaps?

He does his fair share of the housework. It just seems everything I do is done wrong and resulted in someone becoming ill.

Yours has Idiotitus. No cure for it in adulthood.

Quite often it’s genetic.

tell him he needs to take responsibility if he washed his hands then not cleaning the bathroom wouldn't make a difference its hand to mouth transmission that spread sickness bugs

Tell him to iron his own bedding and if he wants the windows shut get off his arse and do it

I can't remember the last time I closed my window at night.

He got a cold because you left the window open all night? Is he a shrinking Victorian maiden aunt? Does he get brain fever if he's caught in the rain?

He's an idiot. I wouldn't be putting up with such bullshit.

Anyway, if your bathroom-cleaning standards are that bad, why aren't you permanently afflicted with sickness?

And pollen isn't alive. Idiot.

" Is he a shrinking Victorian maiden aunt? "

This. He sounds like a ridiculous drama llama. If he wants his bedsheets ironed (who the actual fuck irons bedsheets anyway??!) he can do them himself then sleep in them on his own because he sounds ridiculously unnattractive.

If that was my DP, he'd get short shrift. Who does he think he is??

No. Not at all...My DH will sometimes joke that I passed a cold to him, but it really is a joke. He does like sympathy when he's sick though.

How weird!
My mother in law is a bit obsessive about where she picked up illness from. She says "you have to count back three days from when you got it to know who gave it to you" why?? like they invented the cold and have purposely spread it
Also- ironing bed sheets, ha ha!

Is he for real? What a wet blanket !!! I don't give a toss when DH is unwell (apart from being mildly sympathetic) because, unlike when DS is sick, it's not my problem! He's an adult, he knows where the lemsip, paracetamol and TV remote are.

Laugh in his face or tell him to stop being so pathetic. Do you have a spare room? If so, send him to sleep there away from potentially fatal draughts for the sake of his delicate constitution. Also, he clearly needs to take over the cleaning if you're not doing it well enough. What a wimp!

Yes he is an idiot and do remind him too that pollen is not alive.

But I have to look at you here also; why are you and he together?. What do you get out of this relationship now with him?. I presume you do not blame him for being unwell.

You don't catch colds from open windows and pollen doesn't work that way. Your DP is a massive hypochondriac asshat.

He got a cold because you left the window open?

Does he understand how colds work?

They don't sneak in through open windows

He's an idiot for blaming you.
He's even more of an idiot for thinking pollen is alive.
He's a special kind of idiot to think leaving a window open results in a cold.

He sounds sexy!

How in this day and age does an actual adult human still believe that you catch a cold by being in the cold 🙄

You lost me at ironing bedding, is this a thing
Your DH is a nutcase!

Yours is an idiot, and seeing as he believes your housekeeping is responsible for his illness, I'd suggest he does all the cleaning/ironing from now on, just to be safe
