To ask how your DP behaves when you're ill?

[Bellyrub1980]

As the title says really....

Is your DP affectionate? Caring? give you a big comforting hug?

Or do they get irritated and basically try to avoid you at all costs?

Rubbish. Moans at me for not resting, for doing too much etc. Does nothing to ensure that I can rest, or do less.

Ugh. My DP is a nurse. You'd think he'd care more but no. I will go to bed early feeling ill and hell get moody about it. I know for a fact he'll come in going "ugh I feel rubbish". While switching on all the lights and being noisy and annoying. In the morning, while I've been awake all night vomiting, sweating and generally gross, hell lie in bed complaining he's ill, therefore I should get up to get our son up and (literally) everything else etc.Etc.

I don't know why he does it! If I'm ill and don't say anything and he doesn't realise it,, he isn't like it at all. And he always brags about almost never being ill. It drives me up the wall

My husband is really great at the caring but and usually very supportive however gets frustrated at me going to the doctors as he is so rarely I'll he just says he hasn't needed a gp in 6 years so makes me feel like a hyperchondriac for going!

Very supportive, although often shortly gets symptoms similar to my own which then require sympathy too....(including for period pain, twisted ankle, etc, not only contagious things)
