Today, I've been bedridden for 2 weeks. My mother, a very busy woman who lives 30 minutes away, took me to the doctor's office, which is barely 2 minutes across town. Turns out I have strep, and a bad ear infection. My loving boyfriend of 6 years, who lives with me, just told me to take a hot shower and I'd feel better. FML

Today, I've been bedridden for the past two weeks. My boyfriend casually remarked that he understands now why some people cheat on their seriously-ill partners. Thanks for adding to the stress, sweetie. FML

Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML

Today, my boyfriend's bitch of a mother had surgery and now I'm expected to be her at-home nurse. I haven't been able to sit down for more than 5 minutes thanks to her and I've barely slept. FML

Today, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. My boyfriend only got concerned because I haven't done any laundry, and was worried about what the girls at the coffee shop across from work would think if he turned up wearing the same clothes two days in a row. FML

Today, my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in months because we live in different countries, is coming to stay with me. I've been the picture of health for months, but today I woke up with my period, a terrible cold, and tooth pain from that root canal my dentist told me I didn't need a few years ago. FML

Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

Today, I woke up on my boyfriend's bedroom floor. When I asked him why I was there, he said I'd gotten too hot, so he rolled me off his bed. I have the flu and a fever. FML

Today, I had a horrible case of the flu. I have a fever of 102 degrees and I can't breathe through my nose. Choosing to sleep it off turns out to be enough for my mom to call me a lazy fuck and scream at me for doing nothing all day. FML

Thank you for your service

Today, I've been horribly sick with a stomach virus. Six hours ago, I asked my husband to go to the store and get me a few things that would help ease my misery. He's still in bed and I'm cleaning the house in between bouts of vomiting. FML

Today, it's my third day in the hospital. On Monday, my mother grounded me for not going to school because I was “milking” a sore foot. On Wednesday, we finally went to the ER and it turns out I have a very bad infection in my foot. She refuses to come to the hospital. FML

Take the hot shower. It will make you fell good enough to pull your boyfriend's ear and yell at him to lift his lazy butt and help you for a change.

I told him about it when I was coughing up blood.

A hot shower wouldn't help you feel better?

I understand it's been a long relationship, but that sends up a lot of red flags.... I'd highly recommend therapy - specifically DBT if at all possible. Hope you feel better soon!

Good thing you got your mother's love. You can't change your family but you surely can change your boyfriend.

Whole story (if you want it) I had a miserable cough, massive headaches and could barely eat due to my sandpaper and razor blade infected throat. I also had a yo-yo'ing fever from 97 (my usual temp) to 103. I begged him to help me and maybe take me to a doctors after the fever started and I coughed up blood. He had also gotten sick the day I got sick, however he took a shower after he started to feel a bit better and was magically fixed on day 1. I also took a shower once I had the energy (after he told me I would be better if I followed suit). I indeed did not feel better, I actually felt much worse. It's not that he didn't care about me because he would check up on me regularly to make sure I didn't stop breathing and got on my case about taking cold and flu meds. I was very upset with him and he apologized after I got a diagnoses. He then proceeds to get a cold from his new job. And gave it to me.
