Unreasonable whinge about dh

[lunavix]

Everytime he's sick, upset, has a row or anything, he vomits. (or at least pretends to, IME)

It REALLY bugs me because then he goes on for a week about how sick he is, and how I upset him too much.

This week it's pharyngitus (sorry if sp.) and he vomited with this too! He's dragging it out too, and while he's gone to work today he says he's far too ill to do anything (he's had it for a week) and while ds is ill with something I'm the one getting up with him all night every night...

GRR. Feel better now.

with all due respect lunavix, it sounds rather manipulative to me - unless there is some type of medical condition that causes vomiting for no reason in a full grown male (i'm no doctor - but if he really is vomiting that often, i think that there is something wrong that a doctor should diagnose)

My ex used to vomit when he got stressed (anxiety attacks according to the doc) If he is pretending then his behaviour is out of order but if, like Koala says, he is actually being physically sick when something upsets him be it illness or argument then he needs medical help.

i have to say i agree with the others. next time he vomits after a row and then complains how ill he is tell him to go to the doctor!

treat him like a toddler and ignore him

pharyngitis doesn't make you feel that ill IME .. it might hurt a little and you totally lose your voice but not incapable or anything

explain to him how vomiting is probably good for him if his stomach is that nervous and change the subject

what an eejit .. sorry

btw this is a far from unreasonable whinge

You should change the title of this thread to "whinge about unreasonable dh". I'd call him childish but he's worse than that. Next time he says he's sick because you upset him, tell him to get the bucket while you tell him what you really think of him.

It started recently, when we row we both get REALLY upset and worked up, and a few rows ago he retched and threw up... thing is I might just be being a bitch saying he's pretending but it bugs me as it's usually his fault anyways (yes I know, I would say that... ) but he gets to play the victim because he's 'so upset'

He's had gastro a few times since, but now everytime he feels ill it starts with throwing up! He thought this was flu (since when do you vomit with flu??) but went to the doctors and it's pharyngitus (since when do you vomit with pharyngitus?????) so every evening he's in bed playing ps2 or watching tv because 'his throat and ears hurt so badly'

Ds was sick the same day (last thursday night) with major temperature (40+, dh temp was 38 but he told doctors it was over 40!) and he recovered fine by yesterday, no idea what it was though.

He's just winding me up!!! I've joined local Brownies as an Assistant Leader and my first meeting is wednesday and this from dh: 'how will I cope with ds???? My mum will have to have him'

oh lunavix - sounds like your are having to look after 2 children!
