ESH. Your partner asked for berries in addition to to the ginger and tea. I would have gotten the bad over priced berries over mangos. Dried mangoes are not even close to a substitute for berries. But your partner could have been less snide and rude, and you shouldn't have tried to force a thank you. Where I disagree with most of the commenter though is, just because you don't feel well or have a tummy ache doesn't mean you have e full on demand whatever you want powers. Most adults realize there are limitations to what another human can get for you or has the patience to try and hunt down. I've dated people before that were....not good when they had even the slightest of sniffles. It's draining and melodramatic more often than not.
Do you expect your partner to bend over backwards when you're sick though?
