It's been about 7.5 years since we've been together and I have long since had issues with his drinking. 2 weekends ago he went on a long weekend to hang with his old time friends. They're good people, but not so good influences, probably since teenage years.
So he probably was getting blasted all weekend long. He came home early Monday morning before he had to go to work reeking of alcohol and had 7 (!!) Ticks on him. I was just like..really?
We removed them and he just left it at that. One week later he started coming down with a fever, chills and lethargy. he went and got tested for both covid and Lymes and the results aren't back yet. He started medication and he's about a week into it and has started getting pains in his body- really bad arm pain, so bad that he has been hitting himself to try to get rid of it, and not being able to sleep. I said this is consistent with Lymes stuff.
I went away for a day this weekend to do a job. He was definitely drunk both yesterday, and is today too. I just can't feel bad for him, even with this consistent complaining about his pain. I have really strongly been considering a break up recently, before all this went down, but I am in a city without friends and it would be so messy right now trying to figure out housing, so I was going to hold off. Am I a bad person? I'm just so fed up with this bullshit. I want to care, but I don't, and I am super irritated.
TL;DR- bf is sick and in pain and I don't care bc it's a result of his drinking which I have been against for a while. AITA?
