[quote=Anonymous]I'm a DH here and have the same dynamic in the opposite direction. DW will accuse me of "man flu." I can be visibly shuddering with a fever and moaning in pain and she'll ask, "so, when will you be taking Larla to soccer?" We also have vastly different ways of handling possible contagion. When she's sick, I *want* her to disappear to the basement to keep the rest of us healthy. But she never seems to get as sick as any of the rest of us, so she doesn't view the risk the same.

That said, despite the facial similarity to your situation, I've never described it like this: <i>"It’s like he only keeps me around to do dishes and laundry and when I can’t do that, it’s like a personal attack on him. This deeply affects the way I think about our marriage."</i>

So that speaks to a potentially deeper issue. Are there other issues in your marriage and the way that you handle the work of running the family that are causing you to draw this conclusion?

And when he is sick, is turnabout fair play? Do you take care of him when he is sick because it's in your nature, or because he's asking for it? Could you treat him the same way he treats you, and if you did, would you feel any better about it? [/quote]
