AITA? Me and my bf are both sick, most likely with covid, and we both feel like crap. While I was trying to go to sleep this afternoon, I was hardcore shivering because I have a fever and everything is too cold right now. He snapped at me, "Please stop wiggling" and I was like "I'm not sure if I can control my shaking", yet I did my very best to control my sore muscles and joints. Cut to later this evening, I woke up from the nap, went to the bathroom, and when I got back, he said "Try not to make the bed move too much when you're getting back in" so my reply was "You realize I'm sick, too, right? It's hard to do all the things you're asking of me because of stuff I'm going through, like body aches." I know he's very sick, just like me, but I've been taking care of him for the last few days, despite my being sick also. It just hurts when he snaps at me with stuff like that like I'm not doing my best to make him comfortable and healthy. TLDR- my bf is having boysickness and isn't being very considerate and it makes me feel like IATA

      @SourLemons I agree with this. Also if it was such a big deal for your boyfriend couldn't he have moved as well?

      Sounds like a total case of selfishness! If it bothers him to have the bed move ; the couch is a great option! Stand up for yourself:

      I don’t think anyone is the asshole here, Sure the way he’s going about things is really inconsiderate, but unless he’s always inconsiderate even when he’s not sick he gets a pass. That doesn’t mean you should put up with in on top of being sick. Is there somewhere separate you can sleep while you are getting better so that you both are able to get enough, comfortable rest?

      it's not really something you can control given it's a sickness, plus he doesn't seem to be very nice about asking, *plus* if it really bothered him that much he could have asked about it earlier before he snapped or had a mature conversation about it. of all things, a significant other shivering because they're sick is not something to get mad at them for, imo.

      Wow that's pretty inconsiderate of him. My ex used to do the exact same thing all the time. Very nitpicky.
