Why is he always sicker than me?!
Question: No matter how minor- or major- an illness or injury I have, my husband is always sicker than me:
I have a cold...all of a sudden he has the flu
My kidney hurts (from frequent kidney stones).... both of his hurt (he has never had a kidney stone)
I have a headache... he has a migrane
My leg is sore... he can barely move his
If Im tired...he is EXAUSTED
I have heartburn...he thinks hes having a heart attack
What is wrong with him... And more importantly how do I make him stop! Its to the point where I actually try to hide any kind of illness- because I know my workload will double - as he will soon be in bed "dying"

I am sorry for not having an answer. I just want you to know you are not alone.
A friend's husband is the exact same way. They own a feed store. (hard work) She says she can't have a headache or anything without him having one. But, lots of times his is "so bad" he has to go home and leave her to handle the store. They have a good marriage. Everyone loves going in for a good laugh. He seems quite normal, to me. Now, she says it is getting so bad, at times, if someone comes in complaining about something, sure enough he will come down with the same symptoms. We joke about it to each other, but not in front of him. One day she wasn't feeling good, her back was hurting, from unloading feed. So, she tells him how bad she is feeling, 'cuz she is on her period. He DID NOT hurt for that!! She has even complained about something hurting that wasn't and he got sick with it. So, we figure it has to be in his mind, but don't know what to do!! She hasn't told him anything.
Hopefully, someone will give you an answer to help you and her.
Good Luck!
yuck! leave that freak! he's a self centered *** who has to always be the center of attention and will not be there for you when you need him. He needs his *** kicked.
Must suck to be you.Sorry but I don't know how you can deal with a man like that.The only thing I can advise you to do is not to mention how you feel around him anymore.Just don't let it stress you out.He sounds like a real butt.
I almost just died laughing..BECAUSE my husband is the same way..I just read this to my husband and asked him why he does this too and he said "I Don't Do That!" and I said YES YOU DO !
Well that's very odd, and if I were you I'd have a difficult time taking him seriously.
Maybe he needs a psychiatric evaluation because it seems that he is either faking illness and pain or he has some kind of weird compulsion that makes him think he really is sick or in pain any time you are.
I wonder if this has been a pattern all of his life and if it occurs with other people he's been close to. For instance, did he always seem to get sick or injured when a sibling or parent would get sick or injured?
You should really sit down and talk to him about your concern.
Has he always had this competitiveness with you? He needs serious psychiatric help.
OK, this is too funny! I just had knee surgery last Wednesday, and all of the sudden, my husband gets the "flu". If anyone called to check on me, he would say, oh she's fine, but I have the flu. Men are big babies, and can't stand being out of the spotlight.
Tell him you're showing signs of Morgellans and see if he starts getting little fibers poking up through his skin.
He's an attention wh*re. Give him some attention. Make him think he has bird flu...or Hantavirus.
Have fun with it!!
He needs attention and when you are sick you are getting more attention than him. You can't make him stop. Just ignore him and try to learn to detach from him.
Dump the Drama Queen
I have a girlfriend that's the same way so it's not just the guys that do it. Either way it's a pain but if you care about them you live with it.
