My husband is tired. I thought I’d better tell you all

Mine doesn't say he's tired since I told him to "go to bed then sweetheart" and didn't cook him dinner -

because it was early in our relationship and I honestly thought he was actually tired and needed to go to bed early.

Still... bit of a result really.

My poor little sausage has sore eyes! I am given regular updates

This is one of the many reasons why I love being single

My ex used to claim to have flu, he couldn't possibly go to work - poor dear.
And yet somehow he'd manage to drive 20 miles to a pub quiz.
That clearly overtaxed him though as he'd spend the next day in bed too.....

It appears this Mandemic is getting worse, symptoms now include a computer related migraine. He hasn't had a migraine in his life. But I have been told he needs an early night so maybe suggest that to your fellas too? Then the sofa and remote are mine with a large G+T.
I love him really but ffs piss off back to the office

DH is tired because the poor lamb didn't sleep properly last night because he has a sore knee. It really amazes me how much he snores whilst apparently being awake.

Tell him if he's tired, have a lie down and a sleep. You can do the same, maybe at a different time. It's natural to be tired but to moan about it constantly is not on.

I won't say, "LTB" :-). Not just yet anyway.

My husband was tired the whole of his working life. Now he is retired and he is still tired. I get home from work and he has his tired little face on. “Have u had a nap“? I say, no of course he hasn’t had a nap. Hmm his hair sticking up at right angles on one side of his head tells a different story. Still he manages to rouse himself enough to cook dinner so I won’t laugh at him too much.

Oh god !

“ I ache and I’ve got a headache “ - cue pathetic whimper of anguish learned from a food starved (not) Dalmatian .

“Have you taken any tablets ?” “Er , no ..... “

Because it’s going to magically cure its fucking self just by laying on the magical health restoring sofa isn’t it ?

My DH is frequently "sleep-deprived" because he stays up watching YouTube videos. He works from home, flexible 35h week timetable. He gets really angry when I suggest he's just a bit tired from staying up late and being a man who needs more sleep than most.

Oh, bless his cottons.

Mine is always tired because HE WORKS, you see. He likes everyone to know that HE WORKS as this absolves him of any other adult responsibility.

I guess I should have told everyone HE WORKS sooner so you could all fall at his feet.

My ex would never admit he was tired - tiredness & sleep were for wimps, apparently - but boy did everyone know it if he caught a cold.

He'd wander about the house coughing and muttering:

"Ahem, ahem.....Oh dear.....Oh dear me.... ahem...........urgh..uh, uk....oh dear me....ahem, ahem...

When challenged - "You moan and complain when you're ill"

No I do not and in any case this is not illness, it's pathetic

OP, so sorry to hear your husband is tired.
Mine is busy don't you know. Very very busy! Too busy to stop and chat to the likes of me.
He's cooking dinner. (Like I do every other night of the year.)

You are all being very unsympathetic here...

The menz need love, care and attention (and a comfy sofa to lie on and mop their brows while the resident maid brings a chilled beer).

Women, by contrast, are robots (or rather 'wifebots'). They don't have feelings, don't get tired and can work 24/7 with minimal rest periods (homeschooling, cleaning, cooking and earning money simultaneously). If you can't do this (or complain about it), you are a malfunctioning wifebot.

Sounds like you all need reprogramming .

@Ghostlyglow

Why do they refuse the painkillers? If It's that bad then take the thing that will make it better!!
God he's annoying me

@wiaa please can you take him full time I could do with the peace and quiet.

Mine does the “ I’ve driven so FAR today “ sentence - usually from the sofa he’s thrown himself into “ I’ve done 200 miles today !” He is a delivery driver .

Yes dear . I do that mileage every day to get to and from work. Then I do a twelve hour shift driving on blue lights pretty much call to call without stopping , and my dinner is Haribos . Forgive me if I’m not running around getting your slippers and a reviving drink .

I've got one with a bad back too. Huffing, puffing, sighing, grimacing and also refusing pain killers 🙄

I have been told many times today that dh didn’t sleep well. There was sighing. There were recriminations because he was late up.(he wasn’t told what time it was. Apparently a ghost said “ dh get the fuck up, it’s 7.15” and he didn’t hear it.) Theres huffing. Weak calls for coffee. It’s too much for me to bear.
I think this is a sadly neglected problem in our society, there needs to be a public enquiry at least, major research. These poor, poor men. 😭😭

Mine has hurt his back and is whimpering. Whimpering! All round the house. He keeps shuffling up behind me and moaning.
I'm Not sure we'll both make it to morning 🤔

"I didn't sleep a wink last night"...what- EVERY night? Because that's what I hear daily.

I forgive the ridiculous exaggerating though, because he still actually does stuff all day, rather than slobbing about on the sofa. That's MY job .

Mine is the very opposite of tired since the doc changed his meds. Quite frankly, watching him Duracell Bunny around the house all day is making me tired 🤣🤣🤣 (but he’s getting better so that’s amazing really).

Do you think there’s an outside chance that these men might recover enough to ‘try just a little supper’ if you were to cook something? I bet they’ll all manfully make every effort to rally if they smell food. Thank Christ I’m single.
