My husband is tired. I thought I’d better tell you all

[FlamingoAndJohn]

There has been so much huffing and puffing around the house about how tired he is that I think he wants everyone to know.

May I gently and sympathetically suggest a hot buffet for his wake.
This could well be a terminal event you know.
monsoon have a lovely range of black facinators to finish off your funeral outfit.
Condolences.

do sone of you live with my DH?

Mine has been tired every day for 5 years. I simply cannot understand how tired he is he says. It makes me want to hurt him. A lot.

There seems to be an outbreak of tireditis among the menfolk at the moment.

What are we going to do???!!! Oh yeah, I know.

Ignore.

I asked mine what he’d had for lunch cause I was deciding what to have for tea (rock and roll lifestyle alert) he said he hadn’t had any and now he was tired and hungry. Long pause.
I said “yeah me too” grabbed some crisps and I’m now on the sofa. I’ve done a full week too I’m afraid.

@Fromage waltzing in and saying "are you doing a roast?" to my arse

This has made me laugh out loud 😂

My DH has just flopped on the sofa and said “oh I am weary today” he’s now making cuppas. I might hog the big sofa while he’s in the kitchen.

Dressing gown of doom

@Fromage I hope he went hungry that night!

@FlamingoAndJohn I suspect that by the time you get back he will be reclining on the sofa as if it was a fainting couch, moaning gently that you abandoned him in his hour of need. To which the only possible answer is, "I know dear, shocking isn't it?" before sailing out of the room to run yourself a bath and pour a large glass of wine.

My DH took a year off work to pursue a hobby (arts related, not cycling, even though this is MN ). After a week back at work he was really tired. I had had 3 days of annual leave over the preceding year.

It must be serious. My DH is only ever EXTREMELY TIRED when I mention that I’m whacked. Apparently his 9-5 is just as tiring as my first trimester exhaustion plus three yo wrangling... oh! And my full time job too!
Honestly it’s incredible, he’s so strong though. Too weak to unload the dishwasher but assured me he has the strength to go to the pub... what a solider 🥳

Full on nicking the “I am weary today” phrase. Feel it needs more exposure 👍

My DH has definitely been wearing his dressing gown less since I started calling it 'the dressing gown of doom' 😂

@IHateCoronavirus

do sone of you live with my DH?

Are you married to my ex?

Tireditis affects women too, but men must be the carriers , as since ex dp left I'm completely ' tired - free'

Mine has had the huffing and puffing for a while but now I'm afraid he has a bad case of tutting as well.

He went hungry and soon after he went single.

I know why your dh is so tired @ChocolateBlock, he's also married to me

Yes extremely tired DH here too. He generally goes to bed at 9.30pm (unless bringing himself to drink 5 beers in the evening), and the kids NEVER wake him up first in the morning. Also sleeps like a (snooring) log. But his tiredness seems to hit him at around 10am and lasts all day!

Gutted that as a single parent I don't get a look in at such fabulous Friday evenings

Do you think there’s an outside chance that these men might recover enough to ‘try just a little supper’ if you were to cook something? I bet they’ll all manfully make every effort to rally if they smell food. Thank Christ I’m single.

Mine is the very opposite of tired since the doc changed his meds. Quite frankly, watching him Duracell Bunny around the house all day is making me tired 🤣🤣🤣 (but he’s getting better so that’s amazing really).

"I didn't sleep a wink last night"...what- EVERY night? Because that's what I hear daily.

I forgive the ridiculous exaggerating though, because he still actually does stuff all day, rather than slobbing about on the sofa. That's MY job .

Mine has hurt his back and is whimpering. Whimpering! All round the house. He keeps shuffling up behind me and moaning.
I'm Not sure we'll both make it to morning 🤔

I have been told many times today that dh didn’t sleep well. There was sighing. There were recriminations because he was late up.(he wasn’t told what time it was. Apparently a ghost said “ dh get the fuck up, it’s 7.15” and he didn’t hear it.) Theres huffing. Weak calls for coffee. It’s too much for me to bear.
I think this is a sadly neglected problem in our society, there needs to be a public enquiry at least, major research. These poor, poor men. 😭😭

I was wondering the same thing at first
