We had a road trip planned for the past few months and it was supposed to happen this weekend, Friday to Sunday. You, me and our other friend were going–just us gals.
The day before we were to leave, my boyfriend got really sick with the flu and showed no signs of getting better any time soon come Friday. Early that morning, I called the two of you and said I couldn’t come since I wanted to take care of my boyfriend. Our other friend was accepting and suggested we go another time because she wanted me to come, she didn’t want me to miss out. So she backed out as well and our trip was cancelled. She was reasonable. You…not so much. You flipped out! You told me it was too short of notice and called my boyfriend a pussy, and said he was a grown-ass man who should be able to fend for himself! You fucking bitch, I didn’t know he was going to get violently ill right before we were supposed to go away! I wanted to go on this road trip just a much as you did. I just couldn’t leave him in that condition all alone. And as far as the pussy comment goes, ummm have you had the flu before? You’re practically bed-ridden! Who was gonna get him water? Who was gonna empty his puke bucket? He got out of bed only to take a piss and he could barely move. No friends or family live close by. Even ‘grown ass men’ shouldn’t be left alone in that condition, for fuck sakes! Sure, he would have survived without me, but that’s the kind of thing you do for your partner, and I know he would have done that for me.
Now you won’t even talk to me. I had a perfectly legit reason for cancelling. You are utterly selfish and maybe I should cut you out of life. —There for my man

Really? I sense you either wanted an out, or that boy has you wrapped around his finger.
I’ve tended to myself through illnesses and broken bones. Unless you’re in the hospital, you can fend for yourself for a weekend. Just leave the guy a bedside phone in case of true emergency.
I completely agree. I had food poisoning for roughly a week and took care of myself. No rommates, no parents, no significant other. I even had to drive myself to the emergency room when I couldnt even keep water down.
I am under the inpression that you wanted a reason to bail, or you’re willing to give up having a life beyond your relationship at the drop of a hat.
I’d react exactly like your “bitch” friend.
You honestly think your boyfriend needed you there waiting on him hand and foot in order to get better?!
Ya fool!
You call your friend selfish but your reaction to her selfishness is a selfish response! You’re the center of the universe and she shouldn’t be allowed to upset you after you upset her, amirite?
Ya fool!
“Oh nos! Where will my BF puke? Who will put his pants on him? Who will sing soft kitty to him?”
Ohhh the HUGE-MANATEE!
OP good for you for supporting him.He had no family or friends who live near to take care of him,OP’s there so why should he have to go it alone?
…I admit my reaction would’ve the same as your bitch friend, out of disappointment….Although I would’ve called to apologized afterwards.
This was unfair to the others …. people have to arrange to be away and this could be taking time off work, planning, and sending regrets to other events as things were scheduled for that weekend. The list goes on …..
Your friend backing out because your man/baby got a sniffle is ridiculous. You think this is “just a road trip” then you are fucked! If there were flights involved and hotels booked and your man/baby got sick would you cancel? Take the loss on the bookings? DOUBT IT!
I fail to see the difference you selfish cunt. I hope you get the same flu bug that he had as you suck his man/baby dick!
and if MY girlfriend wanted to bail out on her friends because I got sick….. well I’d tie her up and force her friends to cart her out of the city on that god damned road trip! Ain’t nobody gonna make me look like a fool-baby!
I have very low self esteem. So, if my friends (if I had any) bailed on me, I would take it very personally and be very upset as your friend obviously was. I’d also be very jealous of the boyfriend because I don’t have one of those either.
sounds like her bf came down with a serious case of MAN-COLD
I tend to agree with the others on here. It’s the flu. Is your boyfriend 93 y.o.? It takes a bit of planning and saving for people to clear a weekend for a road trip. Not to mention that they have looking forward to this. However, Mr. Universe got an upset tummy so your buddies got kicked to the curb.
I personally had surgery on both feet at the same time which meant I couldn’t walk. I had to fend for myself, no trouble.
You’re bitch has officially been invalidated.
There’s a lot of sexist bullcrap going in in the attitude of your friend and some of the responses here. Good for you, OP. It’s never been a sign of weakness or selfishness to care for the afflicted, and, as one who has been on both sides of this situation, I can definitely state, it’s better to have somebody else around. Your partner is a lucky man; your ‘friend” is a narcissistic millstone, best to be rid of.
Do I laugh or cry? Utterly pathetic. I bet he sure would’ve cancelled a trip last minute. Hope you had fun cleaning pike bowls. Yeesh.
I have splinters from the fence about this one…
I can’t stand having anyone around when I am sick. hovering, asking questions, offering stuff I don’t want. I don’t want to interact with anyone.
she doesn’t say her boyfriend asked her to stay, she keeps saying ‘I wanted to’. and her signoff just annoys me ‘there for my man’. gad, its so tammy wynette.
if she had cancelled her trip because her sibling, or parent was sick with the flu and she was tending, I wouldn’t question her pov at all. but she sure sounds like a mommy knows best enabler.
anyway, if he was unable to move he should have been in the hospital. and…..if she can call her friend a fucking bitch over this they sound like poor friends. she sounds very young. would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when/if she gets the flu.
If it was a child or parent I agree Molly but this was probably a young man. Like this guy..

the deathly man-cold. lololol
I know there are self sufficient men out there, I have heard about them, but oh my. all mine have bleated like tiny lambs when the sniffles start. I’ve had to haul 50 pound tvs into the bedroom for their deathbed viewing.
on the other hand, I had walk to the hospital when I got acute appendicitis because ‘he’ was on air and could not abandon his shift.
yeh, I am with you reg. obviously your feet are in good shape now you daredevil you
You’ve got to be kidding me! SHE’s the bitch? Really, ya think? Re-read your post. This road trip was planned for months and suddenly you bail. No, not because you have a sick 3-year-old child with the flu, but because your ADULT boyfriend is sick! What a lame fucking excuse. Your friend told it as it is, your man is a huge ass pussy. And you had the nerve to be mad at her when she chewed you out for cancelling due to such a stupid reason??? You’re the bitch here.
Dude it’s the stomach flu. Not cancer. You acted like a flake and one of your friends got pissed. My guess is that you’ve done this sort of thing before and your friend finally got sick and tired of you constantly putting your relationship at the very summit of everything. She won’t be there for you when this relationship ends. And it will end. You sound like you’re about 20 years old. That shit doesn’t last. Sorry. It doesn’t. I know you’re fairly certain you know everything so i’ll let you find all this out the hard way like the rest of us fools had to.
Your other friends will continue to strengthen their bonds without you. If you keep putting your relationship first no matter what, they will move on together. Without you.
I hope he feels better. I hope it’s worth it.
And don’t threaten to, in your OWN words, “Cut someone out of life” – that’s a little too murdery for the situation.
I’m sure you meant “MY life” – but… not 100% sure.
Does your boyfriend buy pyjamas with a little extra room in the crotch for his giant vagina, OB? He’s a fucking adult and completely able to take care of himself. Sounds like a lame ass excuse to me!
Maybe OP canceled because her boyfriend had an existing illness/disease that she didn’t mention in the Bitch which made her worry about him .
Granted she shouldn’t completely give up her friends to be with a boyfriend.
Did he want a Cold Pop? Cause he was on Fire? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Ew. That’s pretty much all that came to mind reading this. Ew. Ew. Ew.
It’s the flu. Yes, it’s miserly, for sure; we’ve all been there. But he would have absolutely survived without you.
You’re a bailer.
Instead of pandering to your spineless bf you might’ve hauled his blotchy arse to the clinic a few weeks earlier and invested in a flu shot.
Sample of OP’s facebiok status history:
‘I love you my amazing man!!!!!’
‘Luckiest girl in the world right here! Love my handsome man!!!’
‘Missing my man right now like crazy!!! <3'
‘GOOGLE MAPS SAID YOUR DRIVE TO THE STORE SHOULD ONLY HAVE TAKEN 6 MUNUTES BUT YOU TOOK NINE WHO IS SHE’
Based on her reaction of wanting to bail, I’m guessing op would have been a total downer the entire time had she actually been convinced to go anyway.
You may have caused a rift here… but saved them a shitty weekend as well.
I think I would have cancelled the trip as well if I’m being honest.. Of course it depends on how sick my bf was but I have been in the same position, where my bf had to stay with me for over 2 weeks straight because I was that sick.. He missed things he was supposed to do and places he was supposed to go because it was Christmas holiday.
Clearly if one friend was able to be understanding in a shitty situation the reason must have been enough for them to accept. The person who freaked out could have gone still.. or tried to convince the other friend to still go.. Is a friendship really that unimportant that a shitty situation has to turn into an all out war?
Sever the umbilical cord already, mommy. Wait, you’re not his mommy, your the girlfriend of a grown-ass man! You are the kind of friend that SUCKS!! Way to ruin everybody’s weekend to take care of your PUSSYBITCH ASS BOYFRIEND. Violently ill with the FLU??? GIMME A BREAK, dependant pathethic moron! What do you think all the single people do when they have the flu? Ain’t nobody waiting on them hand and foot. They sleep for a day, puke a couple times then duh – they are well again. For the love of God – Grow a BACKBONE.
OB: Your boyfriend is a pussy and as a grown-ass man, he should be able to fend for himself!
But, isn’t it nice to have some who cares about you and wants to help out, even if you don’t really need it?
everyone stop reading this post asap!!!
I now have a sore throat and a headache. the damn flu jumped the species barrier from cpu to human! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh hack hack cough spew. blech and I have to man a trade show booth tomorrow.
Senor thanks .
