Are you the same poster who expected her husband to rub her back and hold her hand because you had a tummy bug?

Or are you the poster who was upset her husband wasn't happy about being woken up by you because you couldn't sleep?

I am certain she was not in the mood for the kind of attention you would have given her. Lol

It wouldn't occur to me to tell anyone about my aches and pains unless my arm was falling off and I need immediate medical attention. It's my problem, not theirs. So I don't really have a good sense of what to do when someone else tells me about theirs. "I'm sorry" seems like a better response than "why are you telling me this?"

+1. And if you squish two people (one of them pregnant) in a one person shower, it’s not going to be pleasant.


WHY??? A couples shower is barely pleasant during whoopee time; unless you have a palatial shower (like 5x10') with multiple shower heads, it always sucks.

My husband isn't good at figuring out what certain situations require. I think you can be direct with him, and explain that you'd like some concerned questions "Are you okay?" "what can I do?" in addition to I'm sorry. And that you'd like a hug or an arm around the shoulder.

If your husband isn't giving you what you need, you can (kindly, respectfully) explain what you need. And be sure to ask him what he needs in situations that aren't working for him.

I honestly don’t know a whole lot of men who are outwardly highly empathetic.
Does he show you he cares in other ways?

Sorry, this isn’t an excuse to act like a child and expect the world to fawn at your feet over your slightest discomfort. I’ll say it again: GROW UP.

My guess is that his “I’m sorry” comes out as defensive. Nothing worse than getting hit and the other person somehow becomes the victim. It gets old after awhile.

That's who he is. Find empathy elsewhere.
