Nope, there's nothing wrong with her reaction. It doesn't sound like she asked him to stay with her all night. If you care enough about someone to want a relationship with them, you will get them some medicine when they are sick, especially after telling her "I wish I could make you feel better." To make someone you "care about" walk to the store when they are sick just so you can have more time with your friends is pretty selfish. Never mind how difficult it must have been for her, what about all the other people exposed to whatever it was she was sick with?

Going to the drugstore to buy some medicine doesn't require a full dropping of plans.

Was the cold walk to the store a way of sticking it to him for not coming thru?!

Seems to me the cold walk to the store would be because she was sick and needed some medicine.

Did the guy know she'd be walking to store is what I'm saying...

If he had half a brain, he should have been able to figure out if he couldn't or wouldn't go, she would have to.

Talk about mixed messages from the man. I guess he was just in heat and wanted some box.

I don't care what it is. If we're not serious, my friends come first. If you expect it any other way, then we have irreconcilable differences.

Better to find out that you're a jerk before we're serious, then.

Seriously, am I the only one who would go get some damn medicine for someone who is sick???

So today when we were talking on the phone, I told him I'm sick and my body temp is high. He first said "oh I wish I could make you feel better." Then I asked "can you come over here for a little bit and bring me some medicine?" He responded:" but I don't want to get sick. and I told my friends I'm going to hang out with them." Then I had to walk in the cold myself to go to the drug store....

Is it unreasonable for me to be upset with his reaction? Now I'm more scared of entering into a relationship with him, because I don't expect my bf to run away when I need him
I think you are being unreasonable. Yes, he could've talked to you in a more sensitive way but the fact is that you've only been seeing him for a few weeks and won't make up your mind on if you want to go to the next level or not. Also, you might be contagious so why would you want to possibly pass your illness on to him? To me that is selfish. I won't even kiss my husband while I'm sick out of courtesy. He hates it but I care enough about him to want for him to stay healthy. I think you are overreacting, imo.
