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

Gutted that as a single parent I don't get a look in at such fabulous Friday evenings

Yes extremely tired DH here too. He generally goes to bed at 9.30pm (unless bringing himself to drink 5 beers in the evening), and the kids NEVER wake him up first in the morning. Also sleeps like a (snooring) log. But his tiredness seems to hit him at around 10am and lasts all day!

I know why your dh is so tired @ChocolateBlock, he's also married to me

[quote BrightYellowDaffodil]@Fromage I hope he went hungry that night!

@FlamingoAndJohn I suspect that by the time you get back he will be reclining on the sofa as if it was a fainting couch, moaning gently that you abandoned him in his hour of need. To which the only possible answer is, "I know dear, shocking isn't it?" before sailing out of the room to run yourself a bath and pour a large glass of wine.[/quote]
He went hungry and soon after he went single.

Mine has had the huffing and puffing for a while but now I'm afraid he has a bad case of tutting as well.

Tireditis affects women too, but men must be the carriers , as since ex dp left I'm completely ' tired - free'

My DH has definitely been wearing his dressing gown less since I started calling it 'the dressing gown of doom' 😂

This has made me laugh out loud 😂

My DH has just flopped on the sofa and said “oh I am weary today” he’s now making cuppas. I might hog the big sofa while he’s in the kitchen.[/quote]
Full on nicking the “I am weary today” phrase. Feel it needs more exposure 👍

It must be serious. My DH is only ever EXTREMELY TIRED when I mention that I’m whacked. Apparently his 9-5 is just as tiring as my first trimester exhaustion plus three yo wrangling... oh! And my full time job too!
Honestly it’s incredible, he’s so strong though. Too weak to unload the dishwasher but assured me he has the strength to go to the pub... what a solider 🥳

My DH took a year off work to pursue a hobby (arts related, not cycling, even though this is MN ). After a week back at work he was really tired. I had had 3 days of annual leave over the preceding year.

I asked mine what he’d had for lunch cause I was deciding what to have for tea (rock and roll lifestyle alert) he said he hadn’t had any and now he was tired and hungry. Long pause.
I said “yeah me too” grabbed some crisps and I’m now on the sofa. I’ve done a full week too I’m afraid.

There seems to be an outbreak of tireditis among the menfolk at the moment.

What are we going to do???!!! Oh yeah, I know.

Ignore.

Mine has been tired every day for 5 years. I simply cannot understand how tired he is he says. It makes me want to hurt him. A lot.

do sone of you live with my DH?

May I gently and sympathetically suggest a hot buffet for his wake.
This could well be a terminal event you know.
monsoon have a lovely range of black facinators to finish off your funeral outfit.
Condolences.

You would have a free pass there

One day after I had done a massive clean of the kitchen (emptied and cleaned inside all the cupboards, fridge, breadbin and sideboard; cleaned the oven; scrubbed the floor on hands and knees with an olde worlde scrubbing brush; washed the windows; cleaned the doors and handles of everything with a door or a handle; even dusted the fucking light fitting; EVERYTHING) I came home to find my then-partner exhausted and close to death on the sofa.

Me: omg are you ok? What's happened, are you hurt?
Him: (weakly points to the kitchen)

At this point I am imagining I will find a dead bear in there, or at least 3 burglars.

Me: w-what...?
Him: I've cleaned it.

There was no dead bear. There was a smeary floor and a bucket and mop still out, and a strong smell of carpet shampoo. The hob showed the remains of popped bubbles and a gel-like lump of fairy liquid. The bin was scratched to buggery like some fuckwit had cleaned it with a brillo pad. The dishwasher was full and dirty. The oven door smelt of polish and the door handle was sticky.

Me: but why.
Him: so, so tired.......I'm aching ..... can you run me a bath......so tired......
Me: Any recollection at all of me cleaning it yesterday? Like when you got the hump and stomped off to the pub after waltzing in and saying "are you doing a roast?" to my arse, because the rest if me wad under the sink and I said "no, I'm cleaning this midden, it's disgusting in here" - remember that.....?
Him: (face of sadness slowly morphs into expression of horror, humiliation and anger that he had been tricked into cleaning his own kitchen even though he hadn't been at all) Nnnnoooooooooo.....,

Me: please undo whatever you did, and order a takeaway unless you plan on feeding me something that smells like Mr Fucking Sheen.

HE TOOK TO BED.

fgs

Mine has just come home from work very tired. He said he was too tired to even undo his shoes. I didn't offer to help. I'm sure he'll summon up the energy eventually.

@NothingIsWrong

Mine too 🤣

There has been times over the last year when if I had had the energy I could have easily have murdered my husband for saying he is tiredZ apparently because I don’t complain all the time that I’m tired I can’t be tired all the time. I have a nearly 1 year who is breast feed so I have to do all the night feeds. An older child at home so no week day daytime naps.

If you want we can be each other alibi.
