Last night after a day of snowboarding, AH started feeling bad. He said he had a sore throat, was achy and had chills. He asked me if I would drive into town and buy him medicine. I told him no. He asked me why. I told him that I don't know how to drive on icy roads, and I can't see well enough to drive in the dark. He got upset and went to the store himself. He came home and later asked me if I would get meds for him if it was an emergency. I said of course I would, but this wasn't an emergency. He said well I can see that you don't care if me being sick is going to ruin the rest of my vacation. I told him I have nothing to say because I could see he was baiting me into an arguement and I refuse to argue. The funny thing is, I stayed in yesterday because I caught a tummy bug, and am staying in again today, but it isn't ruining my vacation. He was acting like him being sick was the end of the world and if I didn't get meds for him then he was going to die. I'm sorry, but I am not going to risk my life trying to get him meds. I value my life more than I value him getting over a stupid cold faster. He is fine this morning and is out on the slopes, and I'm here all by myself. I'm fine being here alone. I'm so glad I didn't attend the fight I was invited to and didn't take the guilt bait that he was throwing out there.
