Illness how does your partner react?

My DH is great when I'm ill, OK so he doesn't cook much but will go round to the shops and get medicinal chocolate and cakes, he will make me toast and bring me a blankie to keep me cosy on the sofa.

He's a gem!

I had an operation at the end of last year, I still haven't recovered totally, but he's been really kind and patient.:D

It's times like these that you remember why you married them in the first place.:kisses3:

My husband is my full time carer and has been since I become seriously ill 4-5 years ago. We have been together since we were 13/14 and now 35. He helps me with everything and I would be in a nursing home if I was by myself.

The only rest he gets really is when a carer comes in each morning to help me wash and get dressed for 45 minutes.

He is a gem and I love him sooooooooooooo much!

OH had to quit his job to look after me which he had worked very hard at. He is selfless!

He never moans either!

That brought tears to my eyes

I mentioned to a friend that i missed having a partner when i am ill as i had no one to give me a hug/comfort me.He says this is a myth and does not happen in relationships! please prove him wrong and restore my faith.

My partner is a legend she is? Were just in the process to move from england to ireland and i suffer with type one diabeties, so i am randonly ill and she is my rock she gives me hugs looks after me makes me warm cups of tea and in return i snuggle up like we are doing now watching eastenders.as well as hold down a business and bring money home i do regardless of illness,

(im glad jinene got her come ups on that show lol)

so who ever said that to you is in the wrong relationship im afraid lol!

hope that helps

Awww, this thread is SWEET and fair restores your faith in human nature. My OH & me look after each other when we're ill too - blankies, hotties, tea & headache pills, let the cat in to sleep on the bed etc etc. We don't get ill much, it must be said - hangovers, mainly!

My DH is wonderful too. I was ill when we first met (28 years ago) & he never knew whether a date would end up at the hospital. He took it all in his stride & has been a brick ever since.
Thankfully I have only had usual minor illnesses for the last 20 years but he is always brill if I'm not well.

He had always claimed that at some point I would owe him for all those messed up dates, but now says I have paid it back bigtime. 12 months ago he was off work with pain in his neck. Must admit my first thought was "he will be under my feet" as I am used to the house to myself in the day (work from home). |We did not realise that he had actually broken his neck. What we thought would be a week off work turned into 5 months & a major operation. Thankfully he has made a full recovery.
