Aita I went to work instead of staying home with my sick boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

Me 27 year old female and my 24 year old male boyfriend just moved in together and he got sick, and I'm the only one working right now because he is sick so the aita question comes to this. He has had a fever and chills for 2 days now and I've begged him to go to the doctor he won't go but finally before I go to work today he said when I get off he will go so I left him to go to work, then his whole family texted me and called me all day at work fussing me out and calling me a awful girlfriend and how they are gonna make him come back and live with them that they knew I couldn't take care of him and how dare I go to work and leave him without a car so aita for going to work instead of staying home with him? I just missed three days of my work week because I'm on blood thinners and I cut myself and couldn't quit bleeding for 3 days.

WHew!!! I hope you can rally yourself to tell those people off and to talk to your boyfriend about them texting you. The nerve!

You have to work. You are not married to this guy and are not a housewife. He is a grown man and needs to take care of himself no matter what his relationship to you is...

IT seems these people are resentful of this guy moving in with you and have unrealistic expectations of your role with this man.

Think it through and straighten them out. You are NOT his mother. It is not your job to "take care of him" when you cannot miss work. He should've taken himself to the doctor. You asked him and he refused.

You don't need reprimands from his family. "Fussing" at you? Calling you "awful?" What's wrong with them?

You two are living together. It is none of his family's business what you two do with or about each other. If HE is reporting his sickness to them, you need to find out what context he is reporting in. If it's "She left me alone to go to work, I'm so sick..." You have to rethink living with this guy...

You research to do. Speak to them. Tell them They were wrong to speak to you in such a manner and you won't accept being disrespected in that way. End the conversation, hang up and block them.

If he's not on board with his family respecting your choices: that you have to work, you need to rethink this living together. Maybe he hasn't grown up enough. Have a long talk with him about this incident and how it cannot happen again. If it does, you DO need to go your separate ways.

But there are some unknowns. The fact that they called you an awful girlfriend and fussed at you means they should be blocked immediately.

You have research to do...

Tell that little bitch boy and his family he needs to suck it up and be a man unless he has some kind of serious health condition or life threatening illness. If it's just a cold or flu then that's no big deal and you need to tell them to go piss up a flagpole. The guy is being a big baby. You're young to be on blood thinners, sounds like you need to take care of yourself first instead of baby bitch boy.

Are you dating Helpless Harry? I would have told his family to go bug off.

Infected testicle? Yowww... how do you get that?

[Asker]

Apparently he got it from a uti that he neglected

[Anarcamus]

Oh that's not good at all.
Also living with family and still got one.

Whoo boy.

[spartan55]

I cringed just reading 'infected testicle' oof

[Anarcamus]

I mean, agreed entirely... just seems like that should have been more easily tackled before moving in together...

Nah, make him tea and let him sleep.
