To think shut the fuck up? (I am.) (Also gross post warning - sick)

[FourForYouGlenCoco]

So DH has picked up a D&V bug.

He is a really noisy puker. REALLY. He may as well sit there and shout.
Bathroom is next to bedroom.

Between 4am and now he's woken me up 4x, hurling copiously at top volume. Rather than feeling sympathetic and sorry for him I'm just laid here wishing he'd shut up. And feeling a bit pissed off that he's brought the dreaded lurgy into the house and therefore I'll be spending my morning disinfecting the entire sodding bathroom.

So AIBU to think he should learn to vom quietly like every other fucker?!

(In my defence, I have a 4yo and 3mo, and it's half term, so sleep is pretty precious right now, but even so, IABVU and a bitch, I know. Poor DH with his mean, unsympathetic wife )

You can control how loudly you puke! Learn not to vocalise! DH roars while vomiting- but you don't have to. Yes, you will cough and spit after, but the actual vomiting does not need a shout- think of babies silently decorating the back of your shirt.

But hiccups on the other hand...

I didn't know my DP did this until he got what we think was norovirus. I actually found it really upsetting to listen to - the poor lamb was so very ill

You have my sympathy -I find DH cannot do any illness quietly - vom, manflu, muscle strain etc and likes to make sure everyone in the house knows just how mucn he is suffering.

Me - I like to crawl away quietly and be left alone.

You can control how loudly you puke! Learn not to vocalise!

How?

Unless someone can give any actual practical hints, Im starting to think that all those people who say it's possible were simply born lucky and are taking the credit.

My neighbour asked what the noise was once!

At the most basic, I just forced myself not to force it. Sounds very odd unless you're actually being sick and then it makes sense.

It actually used to hurt a little when I was sick before but now it's a lot less uncomfortable although still gross.

I had this bug a couple of weeks ago. I puked quietly throughout my early pregnancies and through my younger, hangover years. I puked with this bug and it was like a fog horn. I had nothing in my stomach but it was still turning inside out.

Your poor DH. Get him to record how loud you are when you get it next week.

huh, ok ty smeg

Well, once again I was awoken at 4am.
This time while he had a shower and then came in for a chat.

I'm very pleased he's feeling better.

Oh and user not been near any playgroups lately, so probably not me

My dh is a noisy vommer, cougher and sneezer! It leaves me with no sympathy for him as well.

The worst thing is he holds in his sick until he can't hold it back anymore and then it goes everywhere. He says its because he doesn't like being sick! (I apparently don't mind it as I don't make a big fuss!)

Yanbu. Just as some men feel entitled to take up more space than they need, some feel entitled to make loads of noise. I work with a bloke who does a barky kind of massively loud cough at regular intervals - it's almost like a kind of tick but fucking loud. He is also an enthusiastic sneezer. There are some days I just want to cut his noisy entitled fucking head off.
