You Make Me Sick
I'm currently living at college, where people, especially around this time of year, like to hack up their lungs and sneeze all day long in class.
The results? I'm sick, once again. It never fails.
It's nothing serious, just a bad cold/sore throat situation. I just drink some tea and take some medicine, no big deal.
I try very hard not to get other people sick. I live with 4 other people, so I try not to be careless, and I always wash my hands, cover my mouth, spray everything with Lysol, you get the picture.
The problem?
Trying to not get my boyfriend sick.
He's very nice and tries to take care of me, which I truly appreciate. But, he always tries to still kiss me when I'm sick even though I try to resist.
He says he doesn't care, but I care because I'd feel bad if I got him sick.
Not to mention, kissing is the last thing on my mind when I'm feeling gross and stuffed up with snot. Ew. (However, it's nice to know that he still shows me affection even though I look like shit right now.)
The problem is that this is a recurring cycle. When one of us gets sick, the other inevitably gets sick, and we just keep passing it back and forth between each other.
I have to admit, I'm a hypocrite. When he gets sick, I always act the same way and take care of him and still kiss him.
And we still have sex, which probably isn't the best way to prevent germ spreading either. Hmm.
How about you guys? What do you do when your SO is sick? Do they take care of you when you're sick? Do you guys still kiss or have sex?

I'm just like yall :) But it's just less kissing when that happens.
I'm going through kind of the same thing. I have what you have =\ its not so fun. My mom gave it to me, then my step father got sick...theres tons of fun here at home! lol.
same
I thought that was a pad on that guy's head. 0_o
My bf never gets sick. So he isn't afraid to take care of me when I'm sick. He kisses me all the same. I think his immune system is super while mine sucks.
I don't get sick too terribly much and neither does my boyfriend, so it's not an issue with us at all.
I work Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM in an office with two male bosses. One got sick on the plane ride during Thanksgiving from his family visit to Toronto to Vancouver. The other one has been coughing up his lungs since the beginning of the month due to a touch of pneumonia he somewhat ignored to take care of. Then my ride home after work has been punking out; bailing last minute, and for two or three days when I had dressed for a NICE, WARM car ride back, I was freezing by the bus stop, getting beat up by the wind.
So it's not a surprise that I'm currently battling a head cold with vigilence and the so-called "all cure" Cold-FX. The plastic capsules make them stick along my throat, thus making me gag in reflex or consideration, and when I finally get them down, I don't know if they're ACTUALLY working.
MY remedy... sleep VERY warmly; it was time to change my light down filled spring/summer blanket to my wool ones, drink plenty of water, pee every time you need to go, wash your hands, dry it on a paper towel than those stupid blow dry things, and try REALLY hard not to touch the rest of your desk items when you know you've just sneezed into your fist/bent inside of your elbow OR if the guy that used to occupy the seat also has something you've been dreading to get. Gluck
We just proceed as normal. Our apartment is so tiny, it wouldn't even matter if I never touched him. I mean, we share a bed, and dishes and silverware, and clothes half the time, and practically everything else, so there's no avoiding it. If one of us gets sick, chances are the other will too, and there's just not much to do about that.
I've never had this problem. When my girlfriend got sick and then I got it, our immune systems got used to it so we inevitably didn't pass it back to each other. Our immune system actually got better the longer we were together. But when we DID get sick it was BAD.
yeah, I read him bedtime stories j/k
when I'm very sick, I'm not in the mood. a kiss on the cheek is fine, but after seeing someone coughing a lot, kissing is out of the question. I'll probably hurl after.
I don't mind kissing them, but they usually don't wanna get me sick. Ocassionally, they do it on purpose =P
But, when she or me are sick, we just take care of each other. I try not to make a big deal out of it if I'm sick. Sometimes, I'll tell her to not come over, so I don't get her sick. But, she may be stubborn and bring a bowl of chicken soup lol.
Guess it all depends how sick they get.
We generally try to stay away a little bit when it comes to stomach viruses/flus, but colds are generally no biggie.
I mean, I guess it might be different for some people. But if you're living with your SO or you're married to them, do you just sleep somewhere else? Quarantine them in one room until it's passed? No. If they're vomiting and need some soda and crackers, you're bringing it into the bathroom for them. If they're sneezing and coughing, you still sit on the couch with them and watch movies. Our immune systems (and our vaccination system we all got as kids) enables us to be able to withstand these kinds of illnesses without any major harm. So if you'd really tell your boyfriend to sleep on the couch to keep from getting you sick, or not visit them to make them feel better...I dunno. That's kinda mean.(but then again, I'm talking from the perspective of being in a majorly long-term thing. If you've dated the guy for a few weeks, who cares-you owe him nothing yet. lol)Sex is supose to actually make a cold better..? soo (:
=/ I hate being sick. I'm currently sneezing my lungs out and I think I got it from my boyfriend, I tried incredibly hard not to get sick by taking medicine in advance when I sensed a sore throat or any symptoms coming on, but then my bf started to get symptoms so I gave him the last of my medicine and well now I'm sick, and i'm trying to get rid of it, and now he's sick. =( Yeah this is frustrating.
We still kiss even though like you i try to resist, still snuggle, have play time, and we only get better when the both of us are sick and then we're both taking medicine. But that's annoying being sick.
Hope you feel better.
Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. BY:uggs outlet
I care for my girl when she's unwell, I can't
understand how upset she gets at the idea of
me wanting attention when I am I'll too.
1. go see the doc
2. oooh my poor man, you'll be alright soon
what is wrong with taking option 2?
there are a few more works to choke
out - but really, if your girl can't appreciate
FOR ONCE, letting you be the one needing attention
well....what do u do with that?
