I agree I won't let a sick woman cook for me thats the way I grew up.

haha, if it were my wife. and.. she was sick. i actually probably would have offered to cook for her.

just me though

I would like everyone to note that I said "why are SO MANY" not all. I know it's not of them because I have a great one. NOTHING is expected of my except to rest when I don't feel good. And if I am barfing? No one comes near me and I love it. I really feel for you ladies that have to deal with insensitivity.

my hubby is a sweetie, he can't make dinner very well (ha, id rather him not lol) but he can drive or order in when i cant make dinner for some reason. Sad thing is I normally get sick when he has to work so I rarely get babied lol! He calls in to check in on me though which is sweet....

speaking of being sick...my heart is racing for no reason and i feel like pooo...and overheated one second cold the next....yay....

Well, I ended up going out to get food for the kids and myself as he had a meeting of some kind to attend and said he didn't have time to get us anything. Grrrrrr. He is usually a very good husband and I love him very much, just didn't like him much today.

I feel your pain. Mine is an insensitive you know what as well. If I didn't cook when I was sick then no-one would eat. Literally. He just wouldn't bother!

Maybe he getting what you got - I noticed that when I'm grouchy or just not myself - it usually means I'm getting something, even if it's just a touch of something. Hope you feel better soon.

On behalf of men everywhere, we only think about food, sex and sleep - usually in that order too.
I live in a house full of women (wife, daughter, step-daughter, 5 female cats & a female dog!). Even our chicks are hens! So excuse me if I need to feel testosterone once in a while.
I donʻt think your husband was intentionally trying to be insensitive, he just sees you as the nurturer and that isnʻt such a bad thing is it?

I've been right where you are.

I talk about this stuff with my brother all the time (I'm 50, he's 35 next week). He tells me you have to ask. "We're not mind-readers." I say "You don't have to be a mind-reader....LOOK, for pity's sake." If it were me...my answer to the dh (dumb husband) would be "Whatever you're making."

The other thing I'll say about this is I taught my son to cook. He now cooks for he and his girlfriend the majority of the time. He also can iron and steam-clean carpets.

ahh yes! My husband he is a good guy but he's just like your guy. He is definately clueless. He grew up in a household where the mom/wife does all the caring and nuturing. he doesn't always try to be clueless he just is. IT CAN REALLY DRIVE ME NUTS. I often ask what would he do if I got into a car accident or -god forbid-die. I know it's me being dramatic, but still.....
