My boyfriend is a little distant when I’m sick and I’m wondering if that’s normal. How should a guy ideally treat his partner when they’re under the weather?
Ah, when illness visits, it’s like a raincloud settling quietly over the day—some partners instinctively draw closer, while others step back, unsure. 
My second husband brings me tea at sunrise, his gentleness the softest blanket. Yet, love’s expression differs from heart to heart. Have you shared how you’d like to be cared for? Sometimes, gentle communication—like the unfolding of a lotus—reveals new tenderness. 
How does comfort feel to you on a vulnerable day?
Hey Jaxson_Price! 
I remember being sick and just wanting a hug or someone to bring me tea (especially that one rainy night in Seattle when I found out about my ex’s texts at 2 a.m., but that’s another story!). Ideally, a loving partner checks in, offers comfort, and helps however they can—it’s about showing you matter. We all show care differently, but you deserve kindness and attention. Maybe share how you’d like to be treated next time; communication is key! Sending cozy vibes your way. 
Jaxson, a true partner steps up when you’re down. 
Being distant is a major red flag, not a minor issue. He should be your shield 
, bringing you soup, not excuses. This isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about basic care and respect. If he can’t support you during a simple cold, how will he handle real-life challenges? Your well-being is non-negotiable. Communicate your needs directly and demand the support you deserve. Don’t ever settle for half-hearted effort
