Would you take a day off to care for your sick partner?

Take a day off to care for your sick partner?

[CuriousJC]

I've been in that situation before with my previous girlfriends. Sometimes I would leave work early just to take care of her throughout the whole day, and I've made a few mistakes. Such as kissing my girlfriend while she is sick causing me to get sick after she's feeling fully better. I realize I should have just waited for her to get better butt she just wanted to show her love loyalty and commitment for helping her get better and I wasn't paying attention at the time.

If she’s really really sick I’ll take the day off & play doctor. If it’s a bullshit cold I’ll tell her to take a pill & call me in the morning, I’m going to work.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Depends on the length of the relationship and how sick he was.
And depending on whether it was possible. - I wouldn't want to get fired.

[KrisPW]

Yes, if there is something I can actually do for him that helps and I won't get in trouble at work for it.

[EmmaMary]

Absolutely right I would, and for however long was necessary.

[PrettyPriya]

Absolutely I would. If he needed me to be there, I would gladly take a day off.

[lilyanony1]

I did once when we had to go to A&E. Unfortunately when the shoe was on the uther foot he let me down.
I'd like to think I'd be so kind to someone else again. But a big part of me feels broken from that relationship. And some that followed after.

[DizzyDesii]

For my (future) child yes. For my (future) partner? Eh I don't know. Thats a grown ass man. He’d have to be my husband at least

[PoopyPoop]

Depends on how sick they are. I gotta balance the short-term with the long-term. I gotta make a living. How am I supposed to take care of her if we're homeless because i took too much time off work attending to her common colds?

[PoopyPoop]

I would say "no" for all but emergencies. An emergency might be like she vomits blood all over the floor. After that, I'd be like, fuck this job. I'll set this workplace on fire. I'm attending to my girl and I'll kill you if you stop me. But if she's just sneezing and sniffly from a girl, screw that, I need to make a living. Here is a donut.

[PoopyPoop]

* from a cold

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah definitely, I’ve taken time off over lockdown for a sick neighbour never mind a partner.

[FreyaRed]

Maybe if I have no motivation to work at this day. Of course I would sell it like I do it for him. lol

[Dnice1]

I certainly would! If my man needs me I always wanna be there with him ❤

[GoldenCage]

I surely would.. but I don't have a partner so I don't need to worry about that

[pickedcrisps]

Sure if I didn't get fired.

But then again I am pretty dumb so she probably wouldn't find me too useful ☹️🙂

[dustybiker]

Sick enough to need you to take the day off? Why wouldn’t you?

[lilaccc]

yes i would, but if i can't, then i would make him sure fine with by phone.. maybe it's not enough but thats what i can think if it's urgent.

[hahahmm]

Only if she was at the level of sick where it's difficult/impossible to get out of bed.

[silvermoon84]

If I was with someone, I would absolutely take a day off to take care of him if he were sick

[CaliSixx]

Well if it's a cold or something weak. No. But if he's throwing up or can't stand up. Absolutely

[Anonymous]

Depends. How sick are they? How badly do they need me? How easy is it to take a day off at short notice when I'm not the one sick?

[CallmeTheKnight]

I have before and been on the receiving end of it. So yes I would.

[Anonymous]

After I was sexually assaulted my brother took a week off to care for me.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Yeah, I could probably do that. When you have a book company publish your stuff, do they have you complete each book on a strict schedule?

[crazy8000]

Depends on what it is.
Most thing's can vast majority of adults take care of themselves.
