[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been an ongoing problem with my DH. Every night after we put the kids to bed, he finds a way to start a meaningless argument with me for attention. Then he starts with “You don’t love me?” “Am I fat?” “No one  loves me” “All you care about us yourself!”  “Cant you cuddle with me!” He must ask me 5x a day if I love him or if I think he is fat. The last couple months he’s had a bad cough and post nasal drip but refuses to do netti pot, make a ctor appt or take the Flonase I bought him. He tells me every night that I don’t know what it’s like to be him and that I don’t care that he’s sick. Then he says things like he thinks he has cancer or thinks he’s having a heart attack. If I don’t act immediately concerned or worried he says I don’t love him and wish he was dead!!! He’s spent the last 3 hours talking about himself while I was trying to wind down and read a book.  (He also hates when I read because he says it’s rude to him).  What the heck can I do about this!? I do love him but the constant neediness and insecurity is honestly very annoying. [/quote]

Either you really arent making him feel wanted or he is just a mess. Maybe both, i cant comprehend that type of person whining. How old is he? It amazings me how many guys I see, especially in the 20-35 range are complete p*55@ies. [/quote]

Could be both! He’s 42. [/quote]

Frankly, if I would tell him to stop acting like a p55**, it is really unappealing and drains people around you. A person can only handle so much of it before checking out. [/quote]
