Boyfriend goes out of town. Boyfriend comes home with a severe case of seasonal allergies. 12-hours later girlfriend gets a fever, sore throat, runny nose, and cough. Girlfriend realizes that boyfriend’s “allergies” are the flu.
Boyfriend, of course, is mostly better 24-hours later. Girlfriend is mainlining Theraflu from her sick bed. Girlfriend considers taking out a hit on boyfriend if he ever utters the phrase “I never get sick” again.

There may be posts today. We’ll see how I feel when I wake up. If I wake up. I took a lot of NyQuil.
Feel better Belle!
Ooooooo my boyfriend did this to me a couple of weeks ago too, they always think they can’t get sick! Hope you get to feeling better!
I hope he’s taking care of you. He owes you.
Feel better! Yes my boyfriend does this every winter
Just to play to devil’s advocate and to possibly save your boyfriend’s life, I think that it takes at least 24 hours after exposure for flu symptoms to show up and could take up to 7 days. So it’s probably possible that you caught it from someone else.
Just trying to do my part to save a great relationship 😉
Hopefully he doesn’t read these comments and still feels guilty and taking good care of you 🙂
Don’t try to absolve him! 😉 This is the only way I’ll convince him to get a flu shot.
This. It may actually take at least three days after exposure. Maybe the boyfriend passed along the virus before the trip and before he had symptoms.
