I know alot of men suffer from man flu but DP is really getting on my nerves with it and its making me feel like I don't find him attractive anymore.
It's everytime he gets slightly 'ill' he goes really OTT, at the moment its hayfever, everyone in this house has hayfever, I bought some 1-a-day tablets for it and that does me and the kids fine. DP on the other hand went to boots and spent £20+ on hayfever remedies for himself, he can't just have the tablets, he has to have the most expensive tablets, the nose spray, the eye drops...you name it and he leaves it all out in a mess on the bathroom window ledge. A few weeks ago we went on a night out and half way down the road (main 'pub crawl' road) he decides his hayfever is so bad that he needs to go right back to the top of the road again where the tesco garage was and buy some hayfever tables in the middle of a night out ffs and he expected the group we were with to go with him. (which they refused to do).
About a month ago he had a slight cold, he called it flu and curled up on the sofa with a face ache, tissue stuffed up his nose feet up (with trainers on) taking up the entire sofa groaning and whining everytime someone wanted to sit down.
He's getting on my nerves, its so unmanly and so unattractive. I've told him he acts a bit pathetic when he's "ill" and he says "I cant help being ill" but with this hayfever lark its really starting to make me question how I feel about him.
Am I being irrational? should I talk to him about it or is it all a bit too petty?
