Good morning everyone.
My second sleepless night with a chest infection plus I am asthmatic so struggling abit.
At 7 p.m yesterday my O.H said he wanted to go to bed but I persuaded him to stay up and watch the Rugby game. He didn’t relax, wandering around, filling hot water bottles etc., and at 8 p.m said he was going upstairs. After about 30 mins I decided to join him, tired after coughing and wheezing all day. He was already in bed…….and looking for an argument, saying I was taking him for a mug, making him watch rugby matches etc.. I just said I’d sleep in another room as my coughing etc., would disturb him. I. did this but he followed my, getting more abusive. When he’s like this I feel trapped, so went downstairs to try and sleep on the sofa, he followed after a few minutes, saying come upstairs. Feeling pretty awful, I followed, got into bed, starting coughing, he started swearing at me so I got up and went to another room! Again he followed, asking me if I was waiting for someone to join me! By this time it’s midnight and again for a quiet life I went back to his bed…………and lay awake all night trying not to cough. Have been up since 5 a.m feeling shattered. He has no empathy told me not to be a hypochondriac and just concentrates on his own needs and wants. God knows how I’ll manage if I get seriously ill in the future, I am starting to feel resentful towards this man. I know, I know it’s the disease, but how does one cope with someone so self centred. Hope to get some rest today, but doubt it.
