if you are in a relationship where you hardly see each other-not because you live too far from one another, but because each has their own things to do...or if you are in a relationship and you see them online and tell them you don't feel well-would you still expect to hear from them (if they normally call on the phone that evening). maybe i am all wrong...but if you really care about someone wouldn't you call just to see how they are doing. or wouldn't you go out of your way to see one another?? i thought this is what a true loving relationship was...but i am begining to think that maybe this is just a relationship of convenience.

Yep, between Haban and I we ran up quite a phone bill. Plus on line to each other every day.
Oh and he still calls me from work every day too.

People who care about you, should check on you to see how your feeling. It's just consideration.
If it's a sometimes relationship, maybe one person is still more the nurturing/care for me when ill. I know I like a phone call if I'm sick. Then they can let me just sleep. But-It is nice to know someone cares enough to bring me a malt, or fix me soup, or bring me tylenol and water.
I won't turn down being taken care of a little.

IMO concern, nurturing and caring comes from having genuine feelings for another person..... and with that comes the checking to see if one needs anything, even a hug. Showing concern is in actions....being there for each other...especially if one is ill.

Just my two cents, but I think if you're talking about anything remotely serious, if you can't email them at least once a day, sump'n funky.

Danger....I can't believe he's doing that to you. Are you sure it's only just a one night thing?

I was sick for quite a long period of time, and all I heard was " I didn't call cause I didn't want to bother you if you were resting" Sometimes showing you care by letting that person get their rest when they don't feel well is a loving thing to do, in my book.

Yes it is, Fubard, and I can understand that. But...if a person knows that their smoking is making a person that they care about ill, wouldn't that smoker try to quit or take the smoking away from that person? I know when I am around Danger, I try very hard to limit my smoking....as I also do for Soli. I know it doesn't take the smoke off of my hair and clothes, but then...I'm not around them all the time.

Very true Pal, and do try to limit smoking around people whom it bothers, just slipped a little on one weekend and like you said it is still in our hair and clothes. I understand very much how smoking around someone that has a problem with it effects them, and tired hard to not smoke around them. Do not have to tell any smoker how hard it is to quit, and I have cut down a lot, just do not have the willpower to stop completely, but will keep trying.

Danger----------
Yes, if you are in a relationship and he knows you are not
feeling well, he should at least call to check on you.
If he lives close by, he should come over to see you to
see if there is anything he could do for you.
When they know you are sick and do not touch base
with you --- IMO -- I would think they did not care.
Best of Luck to you! I hope it all works out in your favor.

there are two marriages of convenience in my family. i don't see anything wrong with it. both were designed to help out close friends of the family become citizens legally and no one objected.
