Does your dp blame you when they're ill?

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 agoHmm

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?

You iron your bed linen??Shock
Tell him to bloody do it then. And clean the bathroom.
And to stop bloody moaning.

Why don't you actually make him ill and then when he berates you, you can nod sagely and say yes it's my fault, but inside you'll be cackling like an old witch!

Well isn't it nice of him to permanently take on those tasks you 'cant do properly' OP?

Tell him you'll be interested to see what he wants added to the list in future.

Tell him he doesn't wash his hands enough or is that your fault too?

I've genuinely never heard of another adult doing this. Absolutely bizarre behavior. He sounds dreadful!!

is he a shrinking Victorian maiden aunt? Does he get brain fever if he's caught in the rain

😂😂

'Everything I do is wrong'

He's emotionally abusive. Putting you down, not appreciating you.

Greyblueeyes · 10/09/2020 02:55

Why do you put up with this? Seriously, I'm not trying to be rude, but WTF??

You didn't cause him to be sick.

'Well if you are concerned about it then maybe you should take over the sheet ironing/ window shutting/ bathroom cleaning responsibility then you can make sure that you do it properly.' Have done that over moans about finding stuff in the fridge which is out of date. Now it is not my responsibility!
