My boyfriend just wants to be alone when he's sick... Is this common with guys?

I mean, when I feel sick, I just want him there cuddling me being around me, I always want him with me.. I mean I steal his jumper just so I can smell him (yeah yeah, creepy I know)

Thanks guys, I just want to support him the best way I can without pushing his boundaries. Xo

Some guys are just like that. My ex hated being around me when he was sick, as where my current boyfriend I take care of him the whole time. If he needs Advil, I'll walk to the store, if he needs some soup I'll whip home made soup up, if he just want to sleep I'll run my figures through his hair till he passes out.

Some men still like to be men and have a mentality of I can do it on my own. I wouldn't worry about it.

Stealing jumpers isn't creepy. We all do it. :)
Sometimes people like to be alone when they're sick. Maybe he doesn't want you to catch what he has. That's why my boyfriend won't want me to be with him while he's sick, but I know he would want to cuddle with me so I look after him anyway. :)

I wouldn't necessarily want her to be cuddling me, but I wouldn't hate it if she was there to take care of me.

Make me soup, bring me my medicine and something to drink, and just be supportive. That sounds nice. :-)

Probably doesn't want you to see him in a weakened state. Pride.

Well yeah, I mean, why would you want to get sick?
