What would you do?

Question

I have viral conjunctivitis, a cold with a 103F fever, and to top it all off my 2yo just whacked me in the knee with a toy and now my knee is swollen and I can’t straighten my leg.
My husband is leaving tomorrow morning for a bachelor party and won’t be back until Sunday night. I don’t feel like I can ask him to stay, but I also don’t know how I’m going to manage this weekend on my own. (We also have a 6mo going through a sleep regression.)
Would you ask your partner to stay, or hope you feel better soon and power through?
ETA: it’s a 2h flight away and we’ve got no support system locally

Answer

Sounds fun with a bachelor party. But if you have a fever and can't straighten your leg and he still wants to leave you with two kids where one is a baby for this, I would seriously question my relationship.

Answer

I wouldn’t have to ask my partner to stay. It’s the thing that anyone who cares about their family would do.

Answer

I’d say he should’ve been the one to offer to stay in the first place specially knowing how most men are when they are sick that even with just a cough they can barely do anything lol and he expects you to deal with 2 kids while you have a swollen knee and 103 fever?! If you had someone there that was able to help is one thing but not having support I wouldn’t feel bad for asking specially cuz you don’t want to get your kids sick and then having to deal with that too on top of the sleepless nights already.
He’s not missing the actual wedding and either way family should always come first when in need! Also, asking and talking about it doesn’t cost anything, hopefully he understands the situation and doesn’t take it personally.

Answer

Yeah I would tell him he can’t go.

Answer

Is the bachelor party local or are there flight expenses involved? 
I feel like if there werent too many expenses involved, my partner would offer to stay if he saw me like that. And if i didnt have anyone around that could help me (family or friends i could call to help with the load) id accept and be super grateful.
Im sorry that you are going through a patch of bad luck!!
