Boyfriend trouble. My boyfriend has refused to kiss me because I have a cold a few times and he didn’t want a peck on the cheek either. I was very hurt by this. Any advice on what I should do please

Have you never heard that before?

Me and my husband call each other typhoid mary when we are ill, it's hardly uncommon and it's a gentle joke.

Now why aren't you taking anyone's advice on board?

Are you the poster from the other day that cried because your partner didn't want to wake up and look at your hair?

You're not being creative or changing though. Quite the opposite.

Accidentally getting a cold happens, but why would anyone deliberately want to risk making themselves ill? You're not being fair to your boyfriend; he's only being sensible.

Dude, that's not what it means.

It means nobody can believe you're in your 30s.

What creativity is this then? Grow up means act your age not your shoe size.
