I'm done

[donedone]

I have Covid and my partner gave me a load of BS about how he'll look after me. Since testing positive I have hoovered, done dishes, sorted laundry and hung it out, folded laundry and any other stuff that's needed doing. I have been feeling like utter rubbish but attempted these tasks when I've felt up to it.

He has made me 1 meal, 1 cup of tea and that's about it.I've just been downstairs and the house looks like a bomb has dropped on it. I am so sick of being responsible for the whole house and what needs doing. Teens in the house don't lift a finger - even when asked.

I'm tired of this life it's bad enough when I'm well and juggling it all with work but this has just done me.

What would happen if you told everyone you were unwell and would not be performing any chores at all and you would be grateful if they fed and watered you until you were sufficiently recovered, and you took to your bed with a book and stayed there for as long as it took to get well???

Forget the dishes and the mess.

take yourself to bed with a cup of lemonsip.

make sure you get your meals and drinks up to you.

mess is okay not end of world u need to put you first

Nothing would happen the mess would build up until I was well enough to tidy it all away or clean it all.
This is a long running argument in this house and I am completely exhausted with them all n

You're completely right until one of them comes down with it and I have to be their nurse and maid but no one can be bothered with helping me.

Just don’t do anything! Rest up until you feel better. My house currently looks like a bomb hit it as I have had covid for over a week now - I don’t like it, but my partners idea of messy and mine are very different.

Please go to bed. Address this when you are well again, now s not the time. You will only hurt yourself.

There are “no have to”s. There are always choices. Some more difficult or inconvenient than others, but always choices. I wouldn’t be above setting up shop in an Airbnb for a month if I could afford it. Might be a good wake-up call.
Then I might not come back until they had contributed towards a cleaner, even once a month (if possible) - the equivalent of a sacrificed family takeaway, if you look at it one way.
Actions speak far louder than words.

Thankyou everyone.
I guess this runs far deeper than me just being ill and needing some help.
If I could go somewhere else believe me I would.

I am in bed binging all of Netflix.

Feel better soon! 🌷

I can hear that op. There is clearly so much more to this. I'm guessing there is a long build up to all this and it's made you snap? I'm guessing you feel that even when you feel at your lowest, he isn't there to support you?

But please follow everyone's advice and just get yourself better. Covid is awful when it makes you poorly so please look after yourself. You can address this when you are better and are more able to make some clear decisions about where you go from here.
