To be fed up of "me too"?

[Nickynackynoodle]

Any time i say to DP "I'm tired" or my foot is sore" or anything about me, it's met with a "me too" or "no I didn't sleep well" or "my spine has fallen out"

It's so fucking annoying! Like I'm not allowed to be the only one who's under the weather.

I've started doing it back to him but he doesn't notice.

Anyone else?

My DH definitely has the potential to be a hypochondriac but he has managed to stay just the right side of the line, knowing it won't be tolerated. I don't really sympathise or "get" neurotics but I have to cover it up or I'm seen as an intolerant bitch - moi?

my dh is awful for this it really annoys me. In labour he had the nerve to say he had a stomach ache, erm fuck off!!! I bring it up now and he insists it was sympathy pain...

Dh asks how I slept, I say 'not that well, I was awake for a few hours' and he'll without exception say 'oh, I woke up loads and every time I woke up, you were asleep!
That's so funny - my DH does that too!

If I mention I'm feeling off, DH's immediate reaction is always "I hope I don't get it". But there's that tone in his voice where you just know that, deep down, he's really hoping that he will.

I remember once he said he had a bad stomach when we were visiting his parents. I ignored him, but his mother kept plying him with old wives' tale type remedies to bind him up or have the opposite effect, and he had a lovely time gulping them all down. Eventually I couldn't resist pointing out that he must have the constitution of an ox to be able to take all those remedies without his guts blowing up or giving up the ghost. Both he and MiL were most offended.

I remember an ex boyfriend who used to claim that he had any illness that I had. Eventually I told him that I had rigor mortis, and he eagerly claimed that one too.

I tend to 'me too' a lot DH because he's constantly announcing the obvious like it's news. I don't need to be told he's tired when our schedules are nightmare-ish, or be told his legs ache when we just did a day long mountain hike, or be told his nose is horribly blocked when we're on day 4 of a cold, or be told his stomach hurts when we ate bad food. So I say me too, because it's more polite than saying no shit.

It's different if he's asking for help or advice or actually struggling with something, but I have no clue what he wants from me when he just states his ailment.
