Husband annoying when ill

[Katieandthekids]

Anyone else's husband hugely irritating when sick? I literally can't stand the whining and neediness. Literally how do you manage without just snapping. I just have to try and avoid him as much as possible

The last time mine had a cold he actually told me, whilst lying in bed wrapped in his dressing gown of doom, that he thought he was dying.

@BrendaBubbles

You should try dealing with a DD with endo. It makes the DH look like Mother Teresa in comparison

Isn’t endo seriously painful and exhausting? Hardly comparable to a cold!

Sorted this the very first time my exh was ill..
Pandered to his every whim for like 5 mins. Then assured him he was indeed poorly enough to need to stay in bed..
Then I shut the door and got on with my day..

Miraculously the next day he got up and got on with it...

I am a doctor.
The first time my husband got a cold I actually thought I use be missing something and that to feel that unwell he surely must be dying.
After about 3 colds I realised that he would survive.
I now just ignore him.

Mine is awful. The slightest hint of a temperature and he goes from a super-fit, solid, scared-of-nothing bloke to a trembling, wingeing baby. Drives me totally nuts

I should also add

Taking half a paracetamol and then complaining 3 days later that it's not working ✅

Definitely a Dressing Gown of Doom.
Groaning and Moaning
Taking up the whole living room to mope and wallow.
Taking up the whole bathroom for hours to noisily dry wretch to 'shift it'.
Putting the heating on full blast, turning the house into a sauna to 'sweat it out'
Leaving snotty tissues everywhere
Making horrendous noises to get flem up

Just go to bed and stay there for several days you arse, and die quietly!

I can totally relate. No dressing gown of doom but superman comfy bottoms.

What makes me want to leave the room is the heavy breathing, almost like every breath is a sigh. Doesn’t matter what the illness is the breathing starts and lying in a ball like a child...... 🙄

Can you imagine if men had periods!!!!!

My DH doesnt moan when ill... I on the other hand, am an absolute nightmare.

Hahah I'm at same as @GTAlogic my husband soldiers on still helps with the kids and does a bit of cleaning etc where as I'm absolutely floored when ill and feel like I'm dying...try not to moan too much tho 😂 currently lying in bed got a horrible virus and my voice is completely gone!

Thankfully my DH is not like this when ill but one of my brothers was. I remember me, my Dad, and brother all had the flu at the same time when I was a teenager. We could hear my brother moaning and just being a pain in the arse from our bedrooms. I told my mum if I had the energy I would go and smother him with his pillow. After that my mum told him to suffer in silence like his dad and sister were.
