Love, Work, Health, Covid and Masks: Cautious

Cautious

By STILL IN A PANDEMIC - 18/10/2023 00:02

Today, I FaceTimed my boyfriend at work instead of calling him, because I suspected he wasn't wearing his mask, and I don't want him to bring home COVID or RSV. He called me an "insufferable control freak" and didn't come home that night. FML

Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me 4 times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift 2 days in a row, apparently that is insensitive of me. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to see if he wanted to come over to my house. He said he couldn't because he was out of town. That would have be perfectly acceptable, if I hadn't called him on his house phone. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML

This needs clarification

Today, some guy I’ve been talking to showed up at my house while I was on video call with my boyfriend. I had to confess to a stupid situation I had no business being in. FML

Today, I was video chatting my boyfriend. As we were talking, he answered a phone call. I sat there the whole time as he planned a date with some other girl over the phone. FML

Red flags all over the place

Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend, who screamed at me for being a f-ing liar and never taking time for him. He'd called my work and knew I wasn't there as I said I'd be. He was right - I was lying. I'd been driving for the past 10 hours to his family's beach house to surprise him. FML

Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML

Today, my (now ex) boyfriend came home from work at 8 p.m., monologued about how he doesn't love me anymore for two hours, and walked out on me. In the middle of quarantine. Out of nowhere. FML

Today, I was on Skype with the guy I like. After a while of being on Facebook I forgot I was on webcam to him and started picking my nose. He ended the call. FML

What a catch

By Anonymous - 15/06/2021 08:00

Today, my boyfriend is so scared of COVID that he takes precautions beyond what health professionals recommend to satisfy his OCD. He told me he wouldn't be getting the vaccine because he "won't be controlled by the government." Not to worry, he will just continue to be the unbearable control freak he transformed into since this all began. FML

How you fail to mention bubonic plague, leprosy and St. Vitus' Dance? You seem pretty lax to me.

A mask is not to protect yourself from infection, but others.

I assumed she was asking him to mask up at work to protect HER? It sounds like she has health issues/immune issues and would hope he would do this small thing to keep her safe. I could be reading it wrong, but as someone who still masks for both my and my elderly parents/grandparents' safety, that's the way I interpreted it. However, if she doesn't trust him enough to do this for her without 'spot checking', I don't think the relationship has a future anyway.
