I get a sore throat and headache from a cold = I carry on as per usual.
Hubby gets a sore throat and uncomfortable tummy and runny nose = cue sick day because he's dying.
Seriously. I think I need to be more verbal about how crap I feel with all the side-effects of my meds on top of being sick. If he can't handle a cold without lamenting about it and looking for sympathy, then I'm allowed to whine about my headaches and ringing in my ears and lack of focus and messed up appetite. I'm not looking for sympathy, sometimes it just feels good to say I feel like **** when I feel like ****. This kind of logic seems to go above hubby's head though.
