My husband has always been really dramatic when he’s unwell - even a cold will have him bed bound, given the chance. I always have to get on with things whether or not I have cold/flu. Since he got his positive Covid result he’s been groaning constantly, saying it’s like the time we both had flu (I feel bad for him feeling rough, but this is not quite the case as then we both had high fevers and had to take a lot of paracetamol and nurofen to ease the temperature and aches. He has no fever, is not coughing, rarely taking meds and has been eating fine - thankfully - and watching films in his room.)
I just came here for a rant and for an online hug really, since I’m running around three kids alone, including a baby who wakes me hourly to feed. I’m exhausted and have been since our beautiful baby (7m) arrived. I had a difficult pregnancy and was shimmied out of hospital the day after my c section as my husband wanted help at home and not to be stuck at the hospital, and he would sleep through the night while I fed baby. So when he says now how tired he is (which I understand is a v unpleasant side effect of Covid) I just think “join the club, I’ve been exhausted for months while you sleep through in your own room”.
I probably sound the meanest wife ever, but I’m just feeling a bit resentful!! Anyone else’s husband dramatic like this?
