I feel absolutely horrible saying this but I just have to write it down. My husband and I had been going through a bad patch to the point of nearly separating. We sorted it all out and have decided to try again. Everything has been amazing for a few weeks, like a honeymoon period again I guess, until he has been struck down with food poisening/stomach bug or such like.
We are currently on day 8 of his illness (no one else in the house is ill at all). He was very poorly initially which of course I was very worried about and cared for him, fetched and carried for him, ran the house and looked after the kids whilst he was in bed.
But now 8 days later he's still off work, saying he feels too weak to do anything, the other symptoms have gone. He's lying on the sofa all day under a blanket watching t whilst I do everything. There's resentment growing and him being mardy all the time is a big turn off for me.
I've snapped at him this morning and have had to come out for a bit because I'm getting upset that this illness has thrown a spanner in the works of the recovery of our relationship. I know its not his fault, it's me being stupid.
We were being very sexual and intimate and affectionate, which we haven't been for over 5 years. And now we are back to not even touching each other etc because of germs etc. Feeling really irrationally upset tbh!!
