My husband just turned 40. I am 33.

And if he had isses all the time with things that were related, I may be more sympathetic. However, this is whatever injury he can complain about. For instance, his vasectomy. He was out 2 months with it. Oh, and I am sure they don't feel good. But the guys at work even asked if they cut his #$% off because thats they way it sounded. (You would think with them teasing him he would snap out of it..nah!) I insisted that he go back to the urologist if the pain was that bad, that something might be wrong. He refused. Until I made his appointment and drug him. The doctor said "it went fine, in fact it was one of the easier ones I've done"!!!!! If he gets a paper cut, I hear about how deep it is and he needs stitches. They did MRI's on his knee. It is a "little arthritis" the doctor mentioned knee surgery later down the road when he is older and it gets better. He told everyone he needed knee surgery right away, and that he "had no cartlidge in his knee" Thats NOT what the doctor said! He had to have a cardiac cath last year because they thought he had blockage, he went to work and told his co workers he had to have a bypass. Its a sympathy thing...and for the life of me, don't understand why he feels he needs to lie about that kinda stuff.

Its not just health sympathy stuff either. Its everything. If he exagerates every story he tells. To the point where EVERYONE knows it. But he don't get that they all get it...and see how he is. And he don't get embaressed. There is no problem with his ego!

I just don't get it. I understand "hurt" believe me, I do! But I get being a baby about everything in life. And watching him walk out to the shed with NO LIMP and acting as if no one were looking, after I spent the day cleaning and busting my ass while he sat in his recliner and pouted all day. Or the other day when I got pissed and finaly went out to do the landscaping that has been there for the last month, I couldn't pull a thick weed because of the MS that was affecting my hands that day. I asked him if he could possibly go out with me and pull a couple of ivy vines. He did.....and then acted as if nothing were wrong, and helped me for the next 2 hours. (And believe me, I'm not complaining about that!)

Just frutrating!
