Rarely mad but often he gets frustrated with me but I can live with it because he has every reason to get frustrated. It drives me crazy that he is so easy going and nice that I can’t bitch about him.

All the time. He's an abusive asshole. I'm working on leaving.

I don't get mad. I become vigilant germ warrior. He gets quarantined in guest cottage which is attached to house. It has a kitchen/bathroom and is the most comfortable spot. He's put to bed, heat pad, ice pack, water, meds and fed. I say poor baby as I close the barn door, then run to wash my hands and alcohol swab inside my nose. Don't judge!

I push through anything. Rarely when I go down, he's very nurturing. So, is my teen.

He doesn't get mad, but he does get a little passive-aggressive and pissy when he has to do more than he usually does. I had an emergency appendectomy when we had a 9 month old and a 3 year old at home and, of course, the 9 month old got a bad cold shortly after I got home from the hospital and was up a few times at night as a result for a week or so. I couldn't lift anything after my surgery, so the night time comforting was all on him. You would have thought I was asking him to wake up with newborn triplets with how much he sighed and complained about it. It was so annoying!

+1. Glad I’m not alone! I always say, my husband is the best protector, provider....NOT a nurturer by any means. Totally his weakness.

What does he protect you from?

Do you live in the jungle?

Calm down. Every heard of the Myer Briggs personality types? It’s just a personality descriptor.

yes, he does. some unhealthy f-ed up patterns from his family of origin, where MIL is a martyr and was treated like dirt by exFIL. Me, 8 months pregnant barely dragging my feet because of crazy edema, him: why are you not doing your part of house chores? Because growing a human and bloating from water weight in record july heat, mofo.
