AIBU to want to smother DP with a pillow (Lighthearted)

[Shootfirstaskquestionslater]

My DP is really starting to annoy me now he has been ill with one virus after another since last October typical winter bugs he had a chest infection just before Christmas that he had treated with antibiotics but since he got ill all he’s done is moan and complain and act like he’s had deaths door I felt sorry for him to begin with but now he’s pushing my sympathy to it’s limits. He went to the doctors today and basically got told that his tonsils are a bit inflamed and to suck it up he was given a nasal spray for hay fever and sinuses and sent on his way but since he’s been back he’s putting on the annoying ill voice and walking round in his dressing gown I’m about ready to smother him with a pillow while he’s asleep. He has a really disgusting habit of blowing his nose on his dirty clothes sick of telling him to use tissues. Am sick of listening to him moaning I got sick over Christmas and sucked it up and got on with it.

Do you have a patio?...... maybe its time to find your spade 😜

@SeaToSki haha I wish I did my parents have a back garden and a spade at this rate that’s where he will end up.

Feeling the same right now.... My hubby has decided he has "the cold" and brought the loo roll to bed so he can blow his nose LOUDLY every couple hours. Right now though he's snoring like a hibernating bear with its nostrils blocked! I wouldn't mind too much (I snore worse than him sometimes) but he keeps turning my way and doing it right in my ear or my face!
👀👀👀

@HappyBumbleBee I feel sorry for you. I’ve had the blowing his nose really loudly he could wake the dead when he blows his nose. I would have to knock him out if he was snoring in my face or down my ear.

You smother him, I'll dig a hole in your garden. It will be our little secret.

My DH had The Cold all of last week. I’ve never heard such a fuss, well not since his last cold. Aside from the groaning and sighing, the worst part of it is that he swears everytime he sneezes, in a kind of shocked and horrified way, like nobody has ever sneezed before him. So giant exagerrated sneeze followed by “fucking hell!” Or, my personal favourite, “shit a brick!”

Dd (16) and I do share a few secret smiles about the drama of his cold and the OTT sneezes.

Not to mention the dressing gown of doom that he walks around in, sort of hunched over ...

Haha lol I might just take you up on that offer @Aquamarine1029.

@TheLittleDogLaughed I feel sorry for you and your DD what is it with men and acting like they are dying when they have a cold. God I couldn’t put up with the OTT sneezing he would be told to shut up and sneeze like a normal person. Oh bloody hell I want burn my DP’s dressing gown of doom before I throttle him with the bloody belt. Even the cats give him the side eye when he’s being an over dramatic drama llama. If I eye roll any harder my eyes are going to roll down the street.

LOLZ at all the domestic violence and murder bantz!

A bit embarrassing really.

YANBU. Had nasty vomiting bug on Saturday and DH was fucking useless and I ended up looking after and comforting/breastfeeding our screaming baby, who DH is not able to settle despite me throwing up every 20 mins and being unable to keep water down. Sunday DH gets vomiting bug (nowhere near as badly) snd can’t do a single thing all day.

@thedancingbear you obviously can’t read it quite clearly says lighthearted in the title and am sure you would be at the end of your teather if you had to listen to someone moaning about being ill for the last 3 months.

I can read. I recognise that you're not actually going to murder your husband and bury the body, so it's light hearted in that respect (though it's not actually funny)

You're still making domestic violence jokes. It's fucked up.

@crispysausgerolls am so sorry that happened to you I hope your feeling better now and I thought I had it bad you had it way worse think your DH needs to learn how to pull his big boy pants up and get on with helping you out when you needed him the most. Us women just get on with it but men seem to act like you need to call priest out to them to give them the last rights. for you and your baby.

@thedancingbear if you don’t like the thread move along and find something else to read. Sorry if it offends you in some way this thread is only meant as a rant because my sympathy for DP is fast running out no one is making jokes about DV. Don’t clutch your pearls too hard you might break them.

Is no one going to mention the blowing his nose on dirty clothes! 🤮

That in itself deserves a burial under the patio lol!

+You're still making domestic violence jokes. It's fucked up.*

You sound like fun at parties

Thanks OP - the worst was he just had all the doors open so I couldn’t even rest and could hear the baby screaming 😡 oh and that we have a private gp and the means to pay someone to come with an IV Or equivalent as they do in Europe for a house call (which in my experience completely recovers you) and he didn’t do this as asked but the next day when unwell he tried extremely hard to arrange this for himself!!!

Your OH blowing his nose on the t shirts though 🤢🤢🤢 refuse to wash them!!!!!

@Plump82 I know it knocks me sick every time he does it I wish he would just use tissues like a normal person instead of his clothes he doesn’t even cover his nose when he sneezes my 5 year old niece knows better than that. Haha lol I might do if he carries on.

@Crispysausagerolls I know don’t they just. Oh I would’ve slammed the door on his head for that. The cheeky sod why was that not allowed for you but it was allowed for him that would’ve made me angry. I would refuse to wash them but when he gets near the washing machine he has a habit of putting pens in it that’s a whole other thread.

Can i just say that I am sorry if I have offended anyone with anything that I have written on here I am not cracking jokes at DV victims expense so if I have caused any upset with anything I have said I am wholeheartedly sorry.

I'd throw his clothes in the bin. Fuck that shit.

@Shootfirstaskquestionslater (nice non-violent user name):

No one is making jokes about DV

Of course you are. You all are and it's embarrassing and damaging.

You can take the piss all you like. No-one is explaining why it is fine for you to make jokes about DV against your partners.

Fair enough Shootfirstaskquestionslater, thank you for your apology.

My DH has had The Virus since mid December and has banged on and on about how ill he is, never mind that I've had The Virus for two weeks longer than him and am just getting on with life....🤔

In one aspect I'm very lucky as DH very rarely gets ill (me on the other hand 😳) but when he does... it's very hard to stay sympathetic when a slight dose of the sniffles is comparable to near death.

My friend cannot tolerate her husband being Ill, she said before that she knows it's irrational but she hates a sign of weakness in a man.

@Thedancingbear

It's extraordinarily embarrassing to use the expressions LOLZ and Bantz

Nobody is making jokes about diarrhoea and vomiting either.

Perhaps a different type of Internet forum would suit you
