[quote=Anonymous]OP, sometimes I’m like you, sometimes like your DH. 
Sometimes it’s really nerve-racking. For instance, we will both have been up with a sick child. Except I stay up longer to clean up the entire mess, while he goes back to sleep. And in the morning he will complain about his lack of sleep. Of course I will tell him I'm exhausted too. Because sometimes it feels like he forgot that I was up dealing with the same issue, and went to bed even later.
I know I need to work better on empathizing with him instead of commiserating with him.
I also think one reason I do it is because I never initiate complaining. I’m not sure why I don’t, I guess I don’t want to feel like I’m a burden to somebody.
A few weeks ago, he got bit on the ankle by a wasp. It was tender and swollen for several days. My ankle started hurting. I didn’t mention anything for a week because I didn’t want it to seem like I was copying him. I believe mine was a wasp sting as well, and it ended up getting infected and turning into cellulitis. Three doctors visits and a ton of anabiotic’s later, it’s still not completely healed. He keeps mentioning how his ankle was exactly the same. No - it wasn’t. But I’m not going to tell him that.[/quote]
