My wife may have a high-powered job as a lawyer, but when she's sick she's a baby. Like today: "Bring me soup!" "Get me a blanket!" "I need a lozenge!"

Plus, it's Easter, and I had to juggle baskets for the kids and bringing them to church. I'm rarely sick because I eat right and exercise, but my wife, a junkfood junkie, picks up every bug there is. But when I'm sick I'm on my own. The last time I had a bug, the only person to bring me soup was our au pair, Krystka. What a good heart (and good to look at!).

My wife got so whiny today (and I'm already PO'd at her because I recently got some compromising photos of her with a security guard -- that she doesn't know about yet), that I accidentally spilled a glass of ginger ale all over her and her special XL Hello Kitty nightie. She cursed and cursed -- loud enough for the whole house to hear. When I got downstairs, Krystka and I laughed and laughed. My son Ralph asked what "friggin' homo" meant.

Is your spouse a baby when ill?
 
my husband is. he denies it, but all he does is sit around. fine with me...
 
I'd say my hubby and I are equally whiny. I think we are probably still too newlywed to determine which of us is more whiny. I think most people are babies when they are sick.

The biggest difference between us two and you two is that we are actually nice to each other! I doubt ya'll have been nice to each other for some time. Did you spill on her on purpose? Do you think she heard you laughing at her? You have to remember that at some point in your life you fell in love with her. Do you even remember why? If you want to have any hope of salvaging your relationship then you must return to what brought you to her in the first place. Personally I'm not sure you want to salvage anything. In fact, I think the pictures gave you permission in your mind to pursue what you feel for Krystka. Be careful!
 
No, but if I had one like yours, I would have ran off with the au pair months ago.
 
YOU BABY HER TOO MUCH..STOP AND MAKE HER GET OWN SHIT. 2. ASK HER WTF IS GOING ON WITH THE SECURITY GUARD.
 
Neither of us is very whiney. However, you sound like you whine more than your spouse. She just sounds like a dictator
 
Your wife sounds like my husband when he's ill. When he catches the tiniest bug, you would think he's got a full blown case of pneumonia, the way he carries on! He tells you about it every five minutes, almost like he's making sure you know how sick he is. I'm sorry to hear about the pics you found of your wife, I know it's hard enough to be sympathetic with someone when they are being so difficult but that sure doesn't help! Good luck to you!
 
well , i want to say men are the one who would wine the most, but, their some of us men, dont know when to stay in bed,, i my self , will go, till, i cant, an , the wife is the same, we both grew up hard, an learn to care for our self,,
 
Yes, my spouse is pretty much helpless when he is ill. Poor baby! He just doesn't know how to deal with it. lol! He would never yell at me or curse and call me names, though, if I accidentally spilled something on him. He just suffers out loud, and I try to help him and take care of him the best I can. I do that, though, without him asking. He also doesn't demand my attention or order me around.
It's hard for me to tell if your wife is just naturally a mean, ornery, selfish person, or if she is really po'd at you, too. She might be, like a lot of people think, jealous of you and the au pair. She might also think you purposely "accidentally" spilled the ginger ale on her.
Regardless of whether she may be jealous of your friendship with Krystka or whatever the situation with you two is, your wife should not have cheated on you. You have every right to feel betrayed and angry. I just think Krystka is enjoying this a little too much and that she obviously wants to be more than just your friend. Right now, I think that would be a big mistake.
This whole situation sounds like a powder keg ready to explode.
Your wife really should be more careful about the words she chooses to yell within earshot of the kids.
 
Someones in love with the nanny....


=)


And yes, my husband becomes a man-child when sick.
 
Sounds to me like your marriage has bigger issues than who whines more when they are sick.
 
Are you sure you are not posting this just to put all of us women in our place because we are known for complaining about our husbands who are nothing but big babies when they are sick? lol

Your wife seems to be in mega-big baby form in this case. Is that normal? I am surprised that you cater to it. Next time send Krystka up instead, wearing a tiny Hello Kitty tee-shirt and a security guard hat! lol
 
i think its more normal for the wife to whines more as she need more care and love from the husband, especially sick..

i really feel sad, very very sad to know that your wife really cheated on u, how can she..!!! u are such a great husband..!!... smart, fun, gentle, caring, mild temper..!
i really can imagine what make her choose that security guard, u seem a perfect guy to be a husband.. what your wife had done is so unforgivable...yet u still look after her when she sick..! u are really perfect..!
and now i finally understand why your au pair keep staying by your side..! your wife just don't know how lucky she is..!

i just wanted u to know u got my full support no matter what u gonna do and who u choose to live with.. since she is such a lousy wife..
and my only wish now is that u can live a much happy life.
may god bless u with a better family life with lots of love..!!

BTW
since your wife choose a security guard over u does proof that she cheated on u not because u don't earn as much as she does, please don't takes your wife harsh words seriously and feel bad about it,
 
My dh is the baby when sick...Nothing against you REALITY but most men are...

Sometimes makes me crazy when he says he has a headache or etc...Ok, so did you take an aspirin? No...NO?? Why not? Duh-h...

Sorry to hear she was being so bitchy with you....and hats' off to you for being so kind with her...
 
I wine the most out of me and my husband when I am sick. He just expects not to have to do anything with the house and my daughter but, when I am sick I have to do everything still, so I complain more.
 
She's looking for attention, for you to show her love, or she's a control freak. Attention, that's what it really is. The au pair may really be whats making her sick.

2) No. When my spouse is sick no baby, not whining baby, just sleeping, actually that's the only time there is quietness in the house. Sleep and bathroom.
