Feeling neglected
Is it possible to feel neglected by your partner?
I've been in bed really ill since Monday. Today is the worst I've felt having hot cold shivers last night, waking up in a puddle of my own sweat, my body feeling sore all over and not being able to maintain any temperature hot or cold. I feel awful.
Our little girl was ill for a couple days too so I've been looking after her as well as trying to function. My partner had yesterday off as our little girl didn't sleep the night before so we were both very tired. He looked after her then but he doesn't seem to give a shite about me. He knows how awful I feel. He knows how ill I am and yet I feel completely neglected by him. He grabbed me some lemsip on his way home but that's all he's done for me. I feel so alone atm

@Jayde I spend 24/7 chasing after and looking after everyone else that when I'm ill I want to be looked after. About the only time he's really looked after me was a really bad period before baby was conservative, early pregnancy when I had really bad morning sickness and during labour as I was in hospital for most of it due to BP
You have to communicate that with him though, as much as we would love it, people can't read minds and if he is also looking after the baby then he's honestly probably trying to give you as much rest as possible.

This is me when my husband or any other adult is sick tbh, I dont take care of them 🤦‍♀️ babies and pets are a completely different story. Id just speak to your husband and tell him that you're feeling a bit neglected, but it's not really in men's (or some womens) nature to be a caregiver when another adult is sick.
