[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP.  I am a SAHM so I am basically still doing my usual work while I am sick (unless I am vomiting or otherwise super sick) but he gets to take a day off work and just… be sick when he is sick. Drives me nuts and I have to constantly remind myself that he really is feeling crummy and that he really does do his fair share and then some when he is not ill.

The other thing is that when we get a stomach bug running through the house, he lays in bed for two days but never throws up and it is so hard to feel like he could possibly be as sick as I was (I always get them first and get over them faster) when he isn’t even throwing up like I was!  Again have to bite my tongue a lot and remind myself that he spends the day bringing me crackers and juice when I am the one who is sick.

Anyway, for myself, I take it as a sign that  I am really stressed out when I find myself thinking “I wish I could get sick enough to lie in bed for a day watching tv.”  Since I it sounds like that’s about where you are, try to plan yourself something restorative for when he is better.[/quote]
