Ladies, How do you treat your husband when he is sick?

Question

This is something i see a lot, where men are REQUIRED to be kind and compassionate when his wife is sick, Take care of her, Wait on her, things like that. And rightly so, I feel like its my job to take care of my wife no matter what. Its literally in the wedding vows, which most men i know take very seriously.

On the other hand, you have reactions in the video below, Threatening divorce when men are sick, Calling it the man flu, when statistically women are sick far more often than men are. Ladies the vows are For better or worse, and in sickness and in health. If you can't take care of your man at his lowest, you're unworthy of him at his best. Watch the vid before commenting its short, just a few minutes.

Im not married but I am a germaphobe. If i was married, I’d take care of him from a distance. I’d wear a mask and gloves and carry lysol but I’d make him dinner and slide it under the door of the room that I’ve barricaded him in. I’d wash his dirty laundry and so on. He can call me on his phone (cause i’ll be sleeping in another room or on the couch) and we’ll have phone sex lol. But We’re not kissing nor having actial sex while someone is sick. I just want him to heal fast so he can pound me out. Funny enough, my boyfriend was sick recently. I told him, “Wow you need me to nurse you back to health.” He goes “How about you pop that tit in my mouth and really nurse me back to health” 😭😍👀💀

I'll take care of him but he does act like a baby when sick so I pick at him later about it. He had a ear infection awhile ago and was acting worse than i did in labor 😆

Then he gets tucked into bed, hair washed if he has a bath, food and water and pain killers brought when he asks for them. I'll also try to take the kids out for an hour or so so there's at least one hour without being woken up by screaming or such.

When I first met him…he was still rejecting me saying how he (men) just want to be alone…it made me sad to hear that.
I on the other hand…said, it’s important to have a close love one to care for each other. Like bring water, go get soup…just to be supportive…now he understands what I mean. 😊

I give him the time required to heal. I am around incase he needs anything and check on him in the bedroom every now and then.

I couldn't watch the video because of technical difficulties.

However, I would like to say I always treated my husband very well when he was sick. In fact I spoiled him.
If he had a bad cold, I would go to the store and buy fresh oranges and orange juice, make a big pot of homemade chicken soup, get cold medicines, etc.
Anything he wanted he got.
I was the same with my son. I loved nursing them back to health ❤️

With my Fiance, I help take care of him when he is sick because I expect the same If I am not feeling well. I don't understand people who legit treat their partners bad because they get sick. Nobody has control over that.

My husband would get nothing less than my full and undivided attention, and if needed our two children would be taken care of by either of our parents.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

the same as anyone else... a lot of water/tea/whatever to drink, laptop with netflix/Disney plus and peace to recover fast. Some soup he likes and that's all needed mostly

My girlfriend will take care of me, but sometimes she gets annoyed with me. In her defense. I am a big baby when I'm sick and she likes to make fun of me for it lol

Threatening divorce over this is crazy tho

exitseven · Answer

My wife takes really good care of me. I had major surgery a few years ago and she took time off from work to stay home to take care of me we could have called in nursing care but she did not want a stranger to change the dressing on my butt. I subscribe to the whole sickness and in health thing

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I'm a grown ass man, so I don't expect anything from her if I get the flu or a cold. Suck-it-up, go outside pile and split some wood and overheat it out of me.

JacobJordan · Answer

Wife response: I take care of my husband (account creator). I make food, bring him water, make sure he is sleeping well, warm enough, cold enough etc. I do absolutely everything I can to make sure he gets better.

This video is like the one with the woman who says she gets triggered whenever her husband takes a nap. She admits to napping regularly, but when he naps it makes her crazy.
