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.

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.

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 🙂
Belle says:
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.
