You know I have heard stories like this before. Several friends have told me that when they are sick, their husbands freak out on them.
Maybe he was a lot more worried about you than he has let on and the stress has just gotten to him or something.
We all know guys don't handle it well when they are sick, they either act like babies or deny that there is anything wrong because it messes with their self image as the strong protector.
Maybe what your guy really wanted to do is leave town for a week to avoid the whole thing and what he did is to stay by you and take care of you and now he is exhausted--even though to us, as natural caretakers, what he has done so far wasn't such a big deal.
Anyway, my advice is to just chalk this up to the fact that guys are just weird about some things. As long as he is good to you in most ways, just forgive him for being an idiot and move on.
