Is it just me..? 💔

Question

I've been crazy sick all weekend, and only today was I able to go to the doctor. I was told that I have severe bronchitis, I have a lot of crap building in my chest and we're watching to make sure it doesn't turn into pneumonia. Today I've been coughing so hard the pain nearly brings me to tears and it's hard to catch my breath, as my throat is so swollen and irritated anyway. My body is aching and it's so hard to move. I'm on loads of medications to try and knock it out, but they make me so nauseous I've actually vomited today.
To top that off, Mother Nature kicked me in the crotch about 2 hours ago, so period cramps are in full swing.
I had just gotten comfy in bed, was going to try and sleep when I started coughing; go figure. But what really upset me was when my boyfriend said, "Kayla, can you go in there?" He's perfectly fine and healthy, like he could have so easily gone in the other room and slept in the spare bedroom or on the couch. Instead of being considerate he kicks me to another room. I tried to suppress my cough and stay quiet and he once again just grumbles "Kayla...". So here I am, laying on the couch after stumbling through the house after my "loving" boyfriend kicked my seriously sick ass out of the bedroom.
That seriously hit me pretty hard at how inconsiderate that was, I want to cry but that may be my hormones. 😔

Answer

Woah not cool! You're super sick! If he's bothered then he should be the one to move. I'm sick too (but not nearly as sick as you) and right now it feels so good to have the whole bed to myself. Beds are much more comfy than couches when you're sick. Hope you feel better!

Answer

This kind of inconsiderate behavior has to be curbed early. If it's never discussed then it will never get better. Instead, it will get worse.

You need to explain to him just how uncaring that is and that you wouldn't expect to be treated that way by someone you love.

I know to some it might not seem like that big of a deal but... imagine you're married 10 years from now, you have children, a home, etc. and he has no regard for your feelings and feels entitled to his own comforts at the expense of yours. If you need support or help, he's not going to be the one to give it because it's inconvenient for him. His children's feelings? Won't matter if they are of any annoyance.

This kind of thing really bothers me because it's the little things that show how much someone cares and obviously, this man does not care at all.

Answer

That's fucked up. If I am sick or  just have a migraine my husband stays up all night keep an eye on me even thought he has to be up by 7 am. That's completely inconsiderate of him. In the morning talk to him about it calmly and let him know it bothered you. Talking is always helpful. Don't keep it in because keeping things in is never a good idea. Just does damage. Communication is the key. I hope you feel better :( I am sorry. Being sick is shitty and getting your period on top of that just blows. Use Vicks btw. I am getting over the sickness to and I been coughing so much it hurts my brains every time I do. I put Ickes on the bottom of my feet and put socks on when I am going to sleep. Also rub Vicks on your throat and chest. My best friend just told me to do this on Friday. I wish I knew about it sooner but it's a huge help
