My bf is ill as we speak and he would definitely judge me if he knew I thought I deserved the same kind of rest despite not being ill.
wait so does he think you never deserve to rest like that unless you're ill? that doesn't sound fair.
Oh, it's not that he doesn't think I deserve to rest - it's just that he doesn't think I have the same right to totally neglect caring for the home, cooking, shopping or doing other thinks that have to get done to just lay on the couch watching netflix and drinking tea for like three days. I think I do. I think I do have the right to act as if though I was ill, in the sense of neglecting responsibilites and just fucking chill.
I would gladly pay for it by becoming ill, if that was a possibility. Which it's not, because my immune system and so on.
Think about it? When you're ill, it's totally ok to lay on the couch watching netflix DESPITE piles of dishes, trash that needs taken out, an empty fridge and so on. Which is what he's gonna do and expect me to do it. If I don't do it and suggest we do it together when he feels better, that's me being mean. But I don't wanna do it. I want the same kind of demandless rest. Actually, I demand it.
that's so weird. most people i know do nothing like that
