Sick

[Evenal]

Ok i just need some advice so I feel like I am not going insane. I have been in an LDR for 2 years my BF is moving to my area in about 20 days finally.

 

For the last week I have been very sick with the flu. Today I was so weak I had forgotten to charge my phone last night and was passed out all day long. My bf was trying to contact me for the longest time. I had woken up in the morning after trying to call him and went on MSN to leave him a message that I had called him and that my phone was dead and charging -> then I passed out in bed for the entire day, about 10 hours. I woke up realizing how long I had been asleep for and rushed to my phone to turn it on and called him up knowing he might be worried about my health. He hadn't answered. I Jumped online and what do i find? A whole slew of messages from him, where are you I hope your okay etc.

 

I told him I had called him in the morning and left him messages on MSN that i needed to go to my bed, he said he didn't receive them, and when i said i had sent them kept saying NOPE NOPE, like very immature. I told him i didnt know what he wanted me to do he just kept hounding me about not contacting him all day long, to which i replyed he was being horrid to me for the state of illness im in. I said i needed to go and logged off MSN because I didn't like the way he was treating me. I really feel horrible today and I just think he'd be more understanding that sometimes phones and computer's mess up, but I DID WRITE THEM and I hate that he's doubting me and making me feel bad about it, when i'm sick. I understand that he might have been really worried but jeez I don't know what else i should have done. It made me really angry that he would accuse me of not contacting him all day when i was sick in bed, its almost like selfish. Please let me know if you've been in situations like this and how to deal with it. Sometimes when your far away from the person you love so much I guess its hard when you cant contact them knowing you are worried for them and you might blame them for it? gah i just feel so horrible and would have liked to be comforted by him instead of basically being attacked for not being able to call all day.

Hi,

 

I had a similar situation a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend. We always text each other a few times a day but he was away in a place that there was network coverage problems. He was texting me and I was replying but he wasn't receiving any of my messages and thought I was ignoring him. Eventually, we got through by phone and it was all ok.

 

Sounds like to me it was just down to a misunderstanding and he might have been frustrated. Technology, eh !! I know how difficult it is with the distance but the best thing to do us just explain what happened.

 

Hope you are better soon.
