sickness in the house

He wanted the lights off - to be fair I do too when ill.

It made me smile about him being sick of me going upstairs (I know people just get a snapshot on posts) but we never watch tv together - I've even posted on other threads I have no idea why we have a tv licience. DD loves it so we do, but me and him could live without it. I watch the Apprentice and Bake Off, other than that I really don't watch any. Hubby would NEVER watch the tv. Hence how I know he's ill - I even caught him watching Geordie Shore last night :rotfl:

On an evening after work, we might spend 1/2 hour together then we have our own things to do. It's rare that he is 'available' to want my company if you know what I mean, so I know he's not missing 'my company'.

I know you say you'd be pretty peeved, but it works for us. I don't see him in Summer at all really, he trains every night after work and all day each weekend, it doesn't bothe rme at all, as I have other things to do and I think it's amazing we've found the perfect match that each other don't mind.

In winter he trains all day Sat and Sun but busy's himself in other ways too.

So, do you have anything you do together? shared? 1/2 hour a night is not much, when do you have time together?:)

We have amazing holidays together, I love them. But we also holiday seperate too.

We have meals out, go see shows etc, have a takeaway together, go to the gym, walks, do activities etc But to be honest wedon't really spend a lot of time in the week together . I'm out at 7.30 and back in maybe 7-8. Hubby won't sit still, he's so active.

We both never thought we'd find anyone to put up with us both, we're made for each other

Agree with what people say, sounds like he was feeling a bit fed up and just wanted some company.

When one of us is sick, we only go apart if, for example, one of us has to run to the toilet multiple times a night, or lots of coughing that disturbs the other during the night. My OH has cuddled and stroked my hair plenty of times when I've got the Black Death and he's never caught the same thing (not yet anyway!)

I'm genuinely pleased this works for you but I can't think that's what would work for most couples. Having so little time together seems the opposite of what marriage is about to me.

Hope he gets better soon.

It really wouldn't, that's why we can't believe we found each other!

Not judging here but it sounds a bit strange? You are both incredibly independant by the sounds of it (each to their own) and yet he has the runs and can't handle you going upstairs for an hour?

Going off the rest of your relationship that should be a walk in the park? Maybe for once, he was just a bit needy. We all need someone to tell us we'll be ok once in a while.

No he thought cos I picked the program I should watch it with him. Like I said when he picked the tv he was fine I wasn't there.

It was because I wanted to watch something he just thought I should have watched it with him as he had no choice. My question was would others have done this if their partner was II'll, I didn't want to be in the same room. Most have said yes, if they picked the program they would stay in the same room.

I told him tonight and he smiled, a 'I knew I was right ' smile

sweety - whatever works for you! but, I suspect the rules change if OH is ill - so communicate with him. When I am ill I want the world to sod off - when OH is ill he likes to be fussed over! you sound willing to do the 'fussover' if necessary. because your love for OH comes over loud and clear!

When my OH is ill, he is hell :rotfl:

Feel sorry for his poor colleagues now he's spread that all round the workplace.

I doubt he's spread the runs around the workplace.
