Wow. This is a good topic. In my relationship there is 100% full disclosure but that's also because I feel very comfortable in the support of my spouse. I would feel very upset if my husband kept something like this from me.

On the other hand I wouldn't have told your wife either. Ever. I might have even lied and claimed a stomach ache. I don't typically believe in white lies but, from your account, it seems like she has some real deep issues when it comes to sickness and empathy for others. Until she received some help for this or resolved to work on these issues, I'd keep minor issues private.

If possible I'd try to talk to her about this when it's died down a little. If you could have some open communication about the problem, perhaps it could be worked on.
