My DH had open heart surgery, pacemaker, bleeding ulcer and fluid in his lung that needed to be drained all in the coarse of six weeks and never opened his mouth to complain once. I would have been shouting from the rooftops if it were me. Gotta love someone who can tolerate that much pain.

I have a wonderful husband and when he is sick he camps out in the bedroom and doesn't expect to be waited on. They say when a man is sick one fourth of the house falls down ,but when a women gets sick three fourths of haouse falls down. So I asked who is more important? man or women lol Don't wait on him maybe he will get the hint.

Put your foot down. Either go to the Dr. or get off the couch and go to the bedroom before you infect us all. WOuldn't you love to see men in labor!

Mine too, it's when he starts to feel better that the whining starts. LOL

If my DH won't go to the Dr. then he gets no sympathy from me. He has learned to suck it up and not make one complaint or I'll leave for a few days to go visit my DD. If he goes to the Dr. and needs TLC then I'm right there giving him soup, meds, and the remote. I had my kids in the Dr. office at the first sign of yucky, for my peace of mind if nothing else.

Mine is a very impatient cancer patient. As long as he is alive and breathing comfortably I say let him complain

I know it sounded mean but it worked and 20 years later he still knows not to whine if he doesn't want to go to the Dr.

lol...that sounds like something i would say!
