What do you do when your partner is sick?

I think it's the vulnerability that you saw in your boyfriend while he is sick that made you love him more. I think that down the road, he will always be taking care of you. And this time it was your chance to show him that there would be situations that it would be you that would take care of him.

Aww, that is sweet of you to take care of him. I always worry when my boyfriend gets sick. The first time was nerve-wrecking for me because I wanted to do everything right. I fix him soup, give him medicine, try to make him feel better but I still feel helpless. :( When he get's sick, he REALLY gets sick so you can understand why I panic. Keep up the good work, I wish your relationship the very best. (:

Get well soon to your boyfriend. I also get worried every time my husband get sick. I don't go to work when he is sick. I just let him rest, cook food for him, and give him medicine if necessary. If he feels really weak then I bring him to the doctor. I also pray for his fast recovery.

Hi, courtknee525. I have enjoyed reading your discussion. You are an amazing woman! You sound just like me. I have been placed in many situations where I had to tend to my husband. I will have to admit that it has been very scary at first, but after I got used to taking care of him, I felt more at ease. I think that hardest thing for me to deal with was the fact that I was more worried about him being in his unstable condition. I wanted to help him so badly, but I just couldn't. I was just recently in a situation a couple of weeks ago with my husband. He was having extreme shoulder pain to where he could hardly move. I made sure that I fixed him something to eat and to drink. I continued to check on him from time to time. I always asked him if there was anything that he needed me to do for him. I felt so hurt because I wanted to take away his pain, but I couldn't. All that I did, during this whole entire time, was prayed. I prayed to God to heal my husband and to take away all of his pain. I was so desperate for him to feel so much more better! I also helped him to reach for his medicine since he was in pain. I did so much of that, plus more. I also had to take care of our three children together, so it was so much on me. I have been through this situation of aid, many of times in our marriage. The circumstance may be different this time, but I assisted my husband greatly each and every time that he was sick or unable to do for himself. I hope that your boyfriend is feeling so much better now. With your love and attention, I am sure that he will get well quickly! Hang on in there!

I would do the same thing you did, take care of my partner. I would cook something like a soup or her favorite dish and stay with her the whole day until she feels better (that's if I not busy with work during that day). Hope your boyfriend gets well soon.

Aw how sweet, well when I was in a relationship and he was sick he'd b o sick to talk to me so I'd lay on his bed with him and caress and kiss him. I think guys are even cuter when sick lol

Aww that's really sweet...hopefully your boyfriend would get well soon. If my husband is sick, I do my best to give him what he needs and pamper him...make sure that he gets his meds on time and make sure that my little boy doesn't bother him..lol...his really playful and he just loves to play with his dad.

You are so thoughful and you are muct a sweet couple.I almost envy you. I think you take care of him,stay with him,it's enough.he will understand and learn you. wish you boyfriend get well soon

Hi, there! I'm sorry to know that your boyfriend got sick.. I know he'll feel better and well because he have you to take care of him. My boyfriend got sick also days after he arrived here where we live now. He suffered from a high fever and his tonsils inflamed. I was so worried for him at that time because I really don't know how to care of a sick person. But what I did was I just did what he wanted.. Got all that he needed for himself that he can't do yet. I also gave him a massage because he was complaining of a back pain. I used to wake up at dawn just to massage his back. It was really tiring but I didn't had the time to think of it because I enjoyed it and I did it because I love him. It took him 3 days to recover.
