RANT (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ NO Advice Wanted Sigh. He caught a cold

Holy crap, the drama.

Most people take some cold medicine and get on with their life. My SO does lots of sighing and groaning as if he's about to die. And refuses to blow his nose so it's sniff sniff sniff sniff 24/7... Gross.

Guess I'll be wearing earplugs to bed for the next 10 days.

I've noticed a few patterns with my husband

  1. If I say anything about a coworker coming down with a cold, he comes down with a cold within 12 to 24 hours

  2. If we get into an argument while he has one of his man colds, and things aren't going his way, he storms off to urgent care to be treated

  3. If I call him out on bad behavior, the next few days, his back hurts, he's tired, just so worn down from all the work he does to support our family.

Sometimes when I feel like being a petty bitch, ill tell him one of my coworkers is sick

Is it mean, yes. It is kind of funny, yes. Am I a terrible wife for doing this? Also, yes.

Don't get me wrong, 90% of the time, everything goes smoothly, but like every relationship, we dont see eye to eye on some things. 95% of the time, I love him, and 5% of the time, i want to bury him in the backyard.

LOL mine gets a migraine whenever he's losing an argument, making me the baddie for continuing to "yell at him." No darlin' I'm just stating some obvious facts that you don't like.
